Is Canelo Alvarez Richer Than Conor McGregor After Pocketing Close to $50 Million Against Dmitry Bivol?

UFC hasn’t produced a star like Conor McGregor in a long while, who has transcended the sport. Whenever he steps into the octagon, he surely pulls in the masses and turns them into fans. Superstardom of this caliber is unheard of in MMA and it is highly unlikely for anyone to stack up to it.

Although, there is one name in the world of boxing, who is making similar headways and reeling in a massive sum.

The American professional boxer, Canelo Alvarez, is the only other name outside of Floyd Mayweather and few others to enter the $100 million club. But how does he stack up against the UFC star?

Conor McGregor vs Canelo Alvarez net worth comparison

First up, let’s take a look at the Irish superstar, and how much he has managed to rake in throughout this career. The mixed martial artist has been a part of many iconic high-stakes matches, and not all of them went his way. Despite that, McGregor has still managed to top Forbes’s list as the highest-paid athlete in 2021, with a net worth of $180 million.

With his net worth swelling near $200 million, he is undoubtedly the richest mixed martial artist in the world. Subsequently, Canelo Alvarez has also been on the receiving end of massive payouts with his recent outing against Dmitry Bivol. According to a report by Draftkingnation, he took home $50 million despite failing to win the light-heavyweight title.

Another report by Marca suggests Alvarez is firmly sitting behind the UFC star with a net worth of $140 million. It is unknown how much his net worth is going to expand following last night’s bout, but he just might come neck and neck with the UFC star.

Alvarez failed to make history last night, as the Russian boxer proved to be just too much. The 31-year-old professional boxer made a valiant attempt to pick up yet another world in a brand new division. He made a jump to the light-heavyweight division with hopes to add another feather to his cap.
