No mma/ufc fighter made the Forbes Highest Paid Athletes List for 2024

Only from fighting? Probably not even Conor would make it.

They include sponsorship money also.

I don't believe they count athletes businesses or anything like that they may own.

Still doesnt sound like enough to clear the 42 million mark.

As expected. MMA is a very small sport, can't expect to compete in money against mainstream leagues.

Messi, Ronaldo, Lebron, Mbappe, etc., are probably more famous than the UFC as an org, lol.

Conor fans fuming that he's not the richest in human existence.

For reference Jones led the way for MMA athletes last year with something like $6M-$7M for 1 fight. Even if he fought 3 times in the year, he's not getting close.

Canello and Fury I'd expect, but was surprised to see Joshua that high.

 

[Billthebutcher]

That's cause casuals won't buy PPV's.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Not even Big Bag Frank the MMA crossover Boxing sensation
