UFC star Conor McGregor makes the list of top 50 highest-paid athletes of all-time

After becoming the most financially successful mixed martial arts fighter of all time, ‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor can now also say he’s one of the top 50 highest-paid athletes of all time.

Sportico has compiled a list of the top 50 highest-paid athletes of all time, which included seven boxers, though Conor McGregor is not surprisingly the only MMA fighter on the list.

Sportico has McGregor ranked at no. 33 on the list with a net worth of $615 million, ahead of boxing legends Evander Holyfield and Canelo Alvarez, as well as Super Bowl champion quarterback Drew Brees.
