Looking for some Lyoto grip. Idk if he will ever see the heights of Anderson Silva money, that mythical status most none of us will see, but I wish him well.

If he wants Anderson Silva money, you know who he needs to go to.Looking for some Lyoto grip. Idk if he will ever see the heights of Anderson Silva money, that mythical status most none of us will see, but I wish him well.
No mma/ufc fighter made the 2024 Forbes Highest Paid Athletes List.
Thoughts??
Plus if Jones was to be on the list, he'd probably have to fight 2 or 3 times in a calendar year which isn't happening. Jones has only done 2 fights a year once in the last 10 years.Who would? Conor hasn't fought. The highest paid athlete other than him is probably Jon Jones but he's been out over a year.
Conor is the only MMA fighter that'll be on that list period, thanks to Floyd and whiskey. It'll never happen again even for Conor

UFC is dying
There will be more on that list next year. And in higher positions.Only 3 boxers on that list and people say UFC needs to be like boxing.
It doesn't matter, boxing pays peanuts for the ones not at the top, and so few even made the list now. Does it matter if 3 UFC guys make this list, but prelim guys are making less than now?There will be more on that list next year. And in higher positions.
Ngannou will make next year's list as well but because of boxing.
Canelos been number 1 before, and he's not the only one.
How many UFC fighters have been #1?

It doesn't matter what you say, top boxers take the lion share and the rest of the guys under get peanuts. Boxing has a higher percent share of the revenue to its athletes and the headliners are the ones who take it. The fighter pay threads have discussed this to death, if there was a higher split it would model boxing and guys like Conor would get 50M rather than 30M before guys under make 500k each.Guys arent making less.
I know of people who fought on boxing cards in god damn Spokane WA, at the regional levels making more than UFC prelims.
Fuck outta here with that nonsense.
The only UFC fighter that can make enough to be on that list is Conor. And that’s if he fights twice during the calendar year, or whatever their “year” is.
Outside of the UFC, if Oil Shieks offered him a ridiculous sum (50M+) to fight whomever in whatever sport. That would put him on there, in the same general position as Fury. But he still owes the UFC 2 fights.
And I don’t care. It has nothing to do with me.
Only from fighting? Probably not even Conor would make it.Considering the cut off is 42M, no.
