Conor McGregor hasn’t fought for the entire 2022 and is yet to make his reported comeback against Michael Chandler in 2023. While the Irishman has apparently earned millions from his business investments, his inactivity from the UFC has cost him his spot in Forbes’ Top 10 Highest Paid Athletes 2023.
The only combat star to appear in the list is Canelo Alvarez in the fifth spot. The Mexican boxer has an annual earning of $110 million. Canelo competed against Dmitry Bivol and Gennadiy Golovkin last year, charming his pockets with multi-millions.
He also earned a hefty sum of money from his investments and sponsorships. Canelo Alvarez is the founder of Yacoa drink, I Can fitness app, the gas station chain Canelo Energy, VMC Cocktail brand and also owns his own clothing brand. Alvarez reportedly has a net worth of $180 million.
The Mexican boxer has surpassed several legendary athletes in the Forbes list of 2023, including Stephen Curry (NBA Player), Roger Federer (Tennis player), Dustin Johnson (Golf player) amongst others. Check the full list below.
