Add in all the sponsorship and endorsement deals the publicity will bring McGregor's way and he stands to make a lot of money.The two most famous footballers in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, are estimated to have a net worth of somewhere in the region of $250m and $330m.

That would mean that Mayweather vs Mcgregor Fight is richer than them both, but that McGregor has plenty of catching up to do to put himself among world sport's biggest earners.According to Forbes, Ronaldo was the world's highest-paid athlete in 2016-17 with total earnings of $93m. Messi came third, at $80m, and McGregor was in 24th on $34m.

Fighters obviously earn with more peaks and troughs depending on when they take to the ring, however, and McGregor has a chance to beat both of those players over the next year based on his income from the Mayweather fight.

Mayweather was not listed as he has not fought since 2015, meaning this will be his first big - by his standards, at least - pay day in a while. In the year of the Pacquiao fight he would have blown everyone else out of the water.ESPN estimate that the total takings from this fight - encompassing ticket, pay-per-view and merchandise sales as well as sponsorship deals and betting - will fall just short of the record-breaking Mayweather-Pacquiao bout but still exceed $600m.

If that is the case we are probably looking at prize money of at least $300m, which the consensus suggests will be split around 70-30 or 75-25 in Mayweather's favour.To put that into context, Real Madrid as a club 'only' earned around $64m for winning the Champions League final against Juventus in June.

Madrid are the highest earners in European competitions since 2010 but the sum they have collected in that time - just over $400m - is likely only to be slightly more than Mayweather and McGregor will share for a maximum of 36 minutes of boxing.Winning the Premier League is more lucrative than Champions League victory these days in terms of prize money, with Chelsea bagging $200m after claiming the title last season.

That's a combination of the 'merit' payment that depends on finishing position and their cut of the English top flight's massive TV deal. Every club receives $111m and that is then topped up based on how many games they had televised.The fierce UFC champ will take on Money Man Mayweather on August 26 — dubbed the most expensive fight in boxing history.

And ahead of their Las Vegas showdown, Irishman McGregor has been trading blows with ex-boxer Paulie Malignaggi in preparation for the biggest payday of his career.Speaking on the Big Brown Breakdown, Malignaggi admits that Mayweather will ‘feel it’ if McGregor lands a punch.
He said: “Do you want to know if he hits hard? Yeah, I mean, he’s not a weak puncher. I’ll say that.
“People are dying for me to say, ‘Oh he hits hard!’ Oh, his big left hand.’ Listen, if Conor hits you, you’re going to feel it. He’s a grown man.“I’d say he’s an above average puncher. If he lands a shot with 10 oz gloves, it will probably get your attention. Is it ‘Oh my God power’? No, ‘Oh my God power’ is very rare.”

“I’ve sparred thousands of rounds in my life, I’ve sparred hundreds of people in my life ... the amount people that I sparred that had ‘Oh my God power is probably only a handful.“More than anything he’s accurate and I think that’s what plays into the success he has with his punches. Nothing was like overwhelmingly powerful. I mean, he’s got power. He’s more accurate I’d say than anything.”Meanwhile McGregor has been forced to hit back after Mike Tyson claimed he will get ‘killed’ against Mayweather.
