Floyd Mayweather Makes Conor McGregor’s Net Worth Look Like Spare Change

UFC superstar Conor McGregor can be considered one of the richest MMA fighters. But, how does his wealth hold up against boxing’s very own money maker, Floyd Mayweather? McGregor recently revealed how much he is worth. And, let’s just say that it’s what Mayweather might consider as a spare change.

McGregor recently posted a video from his sparring session on Instagram. Moreover, he even went on to write in the caption, “The tastiest around there’s a reason I’m currently priced 200 million pound (approx $234.6 million).”

UFC aside, McGregor’s multiple investments, including his whiskey brand, Proper Twelve, has also played a major part in building his net worth.

McGregor’s impressive net worth might be a colossal achievement for most people. However, it does not hold a candle against Mayweather’s kingdom of banknotes. The former champ is worth a whopping $1.2 billion, which is over 5 times that of McGregor’s net worth.

When Floyd Mayweather got the biggest payday of his life

Floyd Mayweather’s fights have been famous for the jaw-dropping fight purses, the former champ received. In fact, his biggest payday came after his fight against Conor McGregor.

During his time in the UFC, McGregor had expressed his desire to cross over to boxing. This was when he decided to take it up a notch and face the crown prince of boxing.

The duo faced each other at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada on August 26, 2017. While McGregor is an impressive mixed martial artist, he was unable to recreate the magic inside the boxing ring. Mayweather was declared the winner by a 10th-round TKO. Moreover, in victory, he also extended his professional winning streak to 50 victories.

However, what sets this fight apart was the gargantuan fight purse Mayweather received.  He reportedly earned a whopping $300 million for the fight while McGregor earned $100 million.
