Conor McGregor To Overtake Cristiano Ronaldo In Forbes Richest Athlete

 McGregor will rise above Cristiano Ronaldo in the latest Forbes rich list for athletes after banking more than £77m in his knockout defeat against Floyd Mayweather .

The boxer was stopped in the 10th round in Las Vegas but was already a winner before the first bell thanks to the record-breaking hype that generated up to £500m.
Ronaldo topped the list this year with earning of £71m, but the Real Madrid star will drop down after McGregor career-high pay day.
“You [Ronaldo] were number one on the Forbes list, I was like number 35 or something,” McGregor said in a meeting last year. “I’ll get up. Maybe next year I’ll get you.” “I don’t think so,” said the Portuguese star.
Despite leapfrogging the No.1 earning athlete, McGregor will not assume the throne, with Mayweather’s £233m purse putting him back atop of sport’s money-makers
