Despite Over $190 Million Difference in Their Net Worth, Conor McGregor Loses to Female Boxing Champion Katie Taylor on the ‘Most Marketable’ List

UFC star Conor McGregor saw his stocks explode remarkably since his Octagon debut. The former UFC champion eventually became one of the most prominent faces in the promotion. Despite being one of the best PPV sellers in UFC history, he is not ‘marketable’ enough now. In a sudden revelation by SportsPro’s 50 Most Marketable Athletes 2021, Conor’s fellow countrywoman leaves ‘The Notorious’ in the dust.

Conor McGregor is away from inside-the-ring action for over a year now. Fans last saw him at UFC 264 where Dustin ‘Dimond’ Poirier defeated the Irishman in a TKO loss. This was his second successive defeat to Poirier. Hence, his stocks plumed in 2022.

However, his fellow countrywoman Katie Taylor is on a roll and has already achieved greatness in combat sports.

How did Conor McGregor and Katie Taylor fare on the list?

Notably, Conor McGregor is absent from SportsPro’s 50 Most Marketable Athletes 2022 list. Unlike him, the world’s best active female fighter, Katie Taylor, is 47th on the list.

Remarkably, Taylor is the only fighter that could find a spot on the list. Known for her aggressive and fast-paced boxing, she itched her name in boxing history as she exchanged blows with Amanda Serrano in April this year. Besides fighting in front of a packed Madison Square, her win over Serrano cemented her G.O.A.T. status.

Her long list of accolades includes a 2012 Olympic gold, five consecutive world championships from 2006 to 2014, and 6 European championships. Thus, justifying her nickname ‘Simply the Best’.

After her amateur boxing exploits, KT transitioned to professional boxing in 2016 and still holds the perfect record after fighting the best of the game.

The 21-0 record holder will defend her WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring female lightweight titles against Karen Carabajal, later this month on the 29th.

Even so, other notable exclusion includes Tyson Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Canelo Alvarez. All three had a spectacular year, featuring major events throughout the year.

Fans had a good laugh at McGregor’s snub and lauded Katie Taylor

The list which made its debut in 2010 focuses on the dynamic nature of athlete marketability. After the list went public, fans had a good laugh at $200 million worth Mystic Mac’s snub while they all praised the G.O.A.T. KT.

One fan wrote, “How is that possible. No one watches boxing. I bet 75% of the world knows mcgregor yet not many people know her”

Another fan commented, “After Taylors last fight – well earned…”

A combat sports fan mentioned, “Because of his mouth”

Another fan stated, “Who cares MaCTapper…..who cares.”

A user commented, “Katie is a winner..Conor is a loser..problem solved…”

Lastly, another user pointed out, “McGregor ain’t done nothing in years”
