Forbes report that Rousey was sitting pretty at the top of this list after her record-setting fight against Bethe Correia at UFC 190 with the former champ getting a slice of the 900,000 pay-per-view buys on top of $230,000 for the actual fight and sponsor pay.
Estimates say she earned around $5million from that 34-second fight - which works out at around $147,000 per second in the Octagon.
But early indications are that McGregor may have eclipsed even Rousey's huge earnings following eight-figure gate receipts, $500,000 for the fight itself and a slice of predicted record PPV estimates which could top 1.5million.
McGregor is staring down the barrel of a huge pay-day from a fight which lasted little over 10 seconds. Forbes estimates (depending on PPV numbers) it could total $8million - which works out at $622,000 per second.
But even modest estimates of PPV figures and earnings from sponsors would see him comfortably ahead of Rousey in the earnings-per-seconds stakes.
Not bad for the Dubliner who was famously flat broke and claiming welfare cheques before his first UFC fight.
No wonder he's eyeing a rematch with Aldo. He will be laughing all the way to the bank.Explore more on these topics:
