Both McGregor and Nadal have acquired considerable wealth over the course of their careers, and they have many similarities as well as contrasts. With that being said, let's observe the differences in their wages.
Nadal recently defeated Casper Ruud at Stade Roland Garros to win his 14th French Open. According to sources, the Spaniard received a hefty sum of more than $2.3 million.
Despite a loss via a knockout, he took home a total of over $23 million in the fight. McGregor received $18 million from the event, which sold 1.8 million PPVs. Meanwhile, he was paid $5 million for the fight, plus an additional $11,000 in sponsorship money.
The amount Nadal bagged after the victory is still not even 15% of what McGregor earned even after facing a defeat.
In terms of net worth, 'The Notorious' is still behind Nadal. The UFC fighter is worth $200 million, according to Celebritynetworth. The Spanish professional tennis player, on the other hand, has a net worth of $220 million.
