Conor McGregor is een van de grootste namen in de sport. Een nieuw onderzoek heeft aangetoond hoeveel de Ier per minuut verdient.
In slechts zeven seconden verdient de 33-jarige McGregor £ 1 miljoen terwijl hij £ 6.421.260,74 verdient voor elke minuut die hij vecht in de UFC-kooi. Dit betekent dat de voormalig wereldkampioen in 2021 maar liefst 22 miljoen dollar verdiende aan zijn MMA-gevechten.

Ongelofelijk

McGregor hij is niet de enige vechtsportster die indruk maakt op deze lijst. Pond-voor-pond-grootheid Canelo Alvarez heeft de zilveren medaille in deze tabel in de wacht gesleept. De Mexicaan verdiende vorig jaar 32 miljoen pond. Maar met twee minuten en vijftien seconden, duurt het beduidend langer om de zeven cijferige grens te halen van McGregor.
