Always good to see combat sports on top.

Fuck NFL,NBA,NHL,ETC.

Having the top spot doesn't mean combat sports are on top. There are a few extreme outliers in combat sports, but most fighters make peanuts compared to other sports.

It's funny he's the only MMA fighter on that list, and he earned most of that money from a Boxing ring lol.


step your game up UFC.

Their game is up. They take most of the money leaving little left for the fighters and if the fighters complain, the fans call them greedy and entitled.

And after the UFC strong arms the fighter into signing a lowball contract, the fans are always the first to say "well, they shouldn't have signed that contract then!".

you can't win with MMA fans.

At least not with the ones who post often enough to leave an impression. Too bad we lack credible polling data.

McGregor is a genius. Went from a handout bum to one of the richest men around within just a few years.

Not really, he went from spoiled upper-middle class kid to spoiled part-time athlete.

NHL = D level sport

According to my experience the people saying this have always been the ones who never figured out how to skate.

So you attacked his post simply because you didn't understand it? Donny, Donny Aaron, is that you?

He quoted me. Stop making dumb references nobody understands.

Depends on how you look at it, I still enjoy the fact that even Tom fucking Brady makes considerably less money than Floyd, and Conor.

That's how much Mayweather got PAID...

I wonder how much he's worth?
