UFC News: Conor McGregor net worth: Between May 2021 and May 2022, Conor McGregor made significantly more money per minute than any other athlete. He earned $1 million every nine seconds, beating Canelo Alvarez, Tyson Fury, and Jake Paul to the title of “World’s Fastest Earning Athlete.” The UFC superstar fractured his tibia and fibula during his third fight with Dustin Poirier in July 2021, but he is now almost fully recovered.

Conor McGregor previous fight earnings
It was a devastating blow that McGregor could only compete for five minutes before his injury forced the bout to be stopped. He made $33 million (£27 million) for only a few minutes of labor, which works out to $1 million (£830,000) for every nine seconds in the octagon and $6.6 million (£5.5 million) for every minute.
Boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez ranks second
That’s significantly more than Canelo Alvarez, who came in second place on OLBG’s list of the “Fastest Earning Athletes” in 2022 after earning $85 million [£70M] for 61 minutes of fighting during the same period. The Mexican boxing hero earned $1,393,443 [£1.15M] for every minute he was in the ring as he defeated Billy Joe Saunders and Caleb Plant to claim the title of undisputed super-middleweight champion.

After Conor McGregor, Tyson Fury on third and Jake Paul on fourth
Tyson Fury rounds out the top three, earning over $1M for each minute of combat. The Gypsy King defeated Deontay Wilder and Dillian Whyte to retain his WBC heavyweight title in two fights that cost $60 million (£49.5 million) during that time.
Jake Paul earned half that sum, taking home $30 million (£24.7 million) after defeating Tyron Woodley, a former UFC champion, twice in 2021 to validate his boxing record. ‘The Problem Child’ completed the top four, naturally made up of boxers. He got $681,000 [£562,000] every minute and $1 million for every 88 seconds he spent in the ring.
