Is mcgregor the biggest earner in combat sports today?

Alvarez got more bankroll

Conor must be making a hell of a lot of money per fight. His net worth is listed as 120 million compared to a net worth of over 500 million for Floyd, 190 million for Pacquiao, 94 million for Canelo and 80 million for AJ. I think the floyd fight alone made him crazy money

people buy his PPV.. He sells fights like a madman. He's up there with pac and canelo

Conner will be on top so far since its January and he is the only one to fight, but for 2019 Connor was No 21 on the earners list and Canelo was No 4. https://www.forbes.com/athletes/list/#tab:overall

AJ and Conor are both at the top, making over $50M per fight. That is not how the UFC is run. Overall the UFC has a big middle class, but at top elite level? The fighters are not making the same kind of money, as Anthony Joshua has just made etc Fighters in the UFC must be taxed by the UFC, in order to maintain and build the brand 'Which is the most important thing in that sport'. The UFC is a brand. David Price probably made more money than Cowboy Cerrone in his last fight 'Than he will make for this fight against Mcgregor etc'. But overall the working class/Middle Class within the UFC seems better supported as a whole in comparison to boxing.

AJ and Conor are both at the top, making over $50M per fight.

I think he is lying about how much money he makes and I think Mayweather made more per fight when he was active and Pacquiao, Canelo, and AJ probably all make more money per fight than he does. Let's see what the big bragger is worth today.

I don't think he makes that much. UFC fighters are Dana's slaves. He should be getting as much as Canelo or Pacquiao because of his drawing power

Mcgregor would earn more fighting Ferguson than Pac would fighting Danny Garcia, Errol Spence, Mikey Garcia, or Shawn Porter. It would do way more PPV buys as well. Probably double.

I dont think so but either McGregor, pacquiao, canelo , or AJ can do some insane numbers with the right opponents . Hes in the top 4

Talking money is flippant. But I don't think Mcgregor is the biggest earner in combat sports, due to the business structure of the UFC. Fighters must be getting taxed, and then that money is put back into the brand which is the UFC etc https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2871946-conor-mcgregor-donald-cerrone-purse-payouts-revealed-ahead-of-ufc-246
