'C.Ronaldo has signed a new contract, it'll be tough to surpass him in Forbes list' - UFC Fighter McGreggor

UFC champion Conor McGregor has revealed that his friend Cristiano Ronaldo has signed a new contract at Real Madrid, hence it'll be tough to surpass him as Forbes highest earning sportsman.

McGregor, 28, who recently met up with Ronaldo, 31, in California, appears to have let slip that Ronaldo has put pen to paper on a new deal to keep him in Spain for the rest of his career.

When Conor was asked if he could beat Ronaldo to the summit of the sportsman's Forbes earnings list, he admitted: “That’ll be tough. He’s just signed a new contract with Real Madrid but we’ll see, maybe next year I’ll have him.”
