When it comes to world sports, the fanbase can list their favourite athlete and sportspersons by their finesse with the sports achievements, but there is also the case of marketability.

When it comes to how marketable an athlete is, chances are most will see the highest-paid athletes in every sport category, because as they bring the highest number of money, they are also the best in marketability.

However, a recent listing done by SportsPro, which lists the “Most Marketable Athletes 2021”, the top of the list doesn’t appear to be anything unusual, but going down the bottom of the list, eyebrows will be raised.

For example, gymnastics icon Simone Biles sits at the number one spot as SportsPro’s most marketable athlete of this year, followed by tennis ace Naomi Osaka and soccer star Ashlyn Harris.

In the number four spot, professional boxing stalwart Canelo Alvarez soars over Paulo Dybala, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, with Hardik Pandya being the first cricketer and Indian to be featured on the list on the 11th spot.

However, what’s surprising to see is the lack of mixed martial artists towards the top of the list. In fact, the first MMA fighter to be featured in the list is Conor McGregor, and the highest-paid UFC fighter of all time, who is also number one in Forbes’ list of Highest Paid Athletes of this year, has dropped down to the 56th position.

The top 100 features only three MMA fighters, with McGregor being the only male Octagon star apart from UFC featherweight Zubaira Tukhugov, as well as ex-UFC women’s flyweight and current BKFC fighter Paige VanZant.
