The ranking has just been published. We find Canelo Alvarez and Conor McGregor among the highest paid athletes in the world in 2022.
As every year, the ranking of the highest paid athletes in the world has been published. Thus, most sports are represented. Even if from one year to another, names come up repeatedly, it is a ranking appreciated by fans and widely commented on. 2022 is no exception to the rule. Also, it is the mediaSportico” which treats this time. Among athletes from contact sports, Canelo Alvarez and Conor McGregor are among the highest paid athletes in the world in 2022.
The classification signed Sportico:
1er – Lebron James (Basketball) with a total of $129.9 million
2ᵉ – Lionel Messi (Football) with a total of $122 million
3rd – Cristiano Ronaldo (Football) with a total of $115 million
4ᵉ – Neymar (Football) with a total of $103 million
5ᵉ – Canelo Alvarez (Boxing) with a total of $89 million
6ᵉ – Stephen Curry (Basketball) $86,2 millions
ON THE SAME SUBJECT :
7ᵉ – Kevin Durant (Basketball) with a total of $85.9 million
8ᵉ – Roger Federer (Tennis) with a total of $85.7 million
9ᵉ – James Harden (Basketball) with a total of $76 million
10ᵉ – Tiger Woods (Golf) with a total of $73.5 million
22ᵉ – Conor McGregor (MMA) with a total of $52 million
Thus, as is customary in these rankings, the spotlight is given to footballers and basketball players. But the irreducible Canelo Alvarez will have managed to pull out of the game in 2022. Indeed, the Mexican remains particularly active in the ring and his latest defeat will not change anything. On the other hand, a little disappointment, no doubt, for Conor McGregor who likes to monopolize the top of the bill. Also, the athlete is “only” 22ᵉ, the consequence of a year off where the latter is recovering. Even if there was talk of a return in 2022, the chances seem to be dwindling day by day…
