As one of the biggest draws and most popular names in Irish boxing, here at SportsLens we have decided to take a deep dive into the career of Mick Conlan. Read on to find out all about the Irishman’s net worth, career earnings and salary from boxing.
Michael Conlan Net Worth
‘Mick’ has put together a decent run of credible victories together since his defeat to Leigh Wood last year and deserved his shot at world honours for the second time. However, it didn’t go according to plan for the Irishman as he was stopped in five rounds by the Mexican world champion.
Conlan’s first shot at world honours ended in devastating defeat to Leigh Wood after a conclusive 12th round KO by the Nottingham man. The Irishman had the chance to right those wrongs as he aimed to become world champion in front of a packed out SSE Arena in his hometown of Belfast. But that wasn’t to be, as he lost to the champion despite being the favourite with the best UK sports betting sites.
It went from bad to worse for the former Olympian, who lost once again to Jordan Gill in his hometown of Belfast last time out. Conlan was a massive 1/12 favourite with the best sports betting apps, but was knocked out by England’s Gill in Round 7 of their crossroads bout. That knockout defeat could be the end for Michael Conlan.
As of December 2023, Michael Conlan’s net worth is said to be around £4 million (source: allfamousbirthday.com). The Irish boxing superstar has gradually made more and more money in his career. Having had a stellar amateur background, Conlan turned pro with tonnes of hype surrounding him.
Having fought at Madison Square Garden six times, including on his debut, it’s obvious that Conlan has been earning lucrative purses since the outset of his professional boxing career. The fact that Conor McGregor even walked him to the ring shows the level of stardom and hype that has been surrounding ‘Mick’ since he turned pro.
The majority of the Conlan’s income of course comes from boxing. He is one of the biggest stars in the featherweight/super-featherweight division and has a huge following in Belfast with incredibly passionate fans. Conlan is an Irish boxing success story, as well as being an incredibly rich man.

Michael Conlan Boxing Career Earnings & Salary
Michael Conlan has been a professional boxer since he made his debut on St Patrick’s Day back in 2017 at Madison Square Garden, New York. Since then, Conlan has had 19 more pro fights, earning more money as his career has progressed.
The 1991-born boxing star has seemingly earned big purses since the very outset of his professional career. As he was a stellar amateur and there was a lot of fuss about him prior to turning pro, it comes as no surprise to learn that Conlan has been making far more than your average boxer makes when beginning their professional journey.
All in all, this means that Michael Conlan’s total career earnings inside the ring equates to roughly £4 million. This makes the Belfast man one of the highest paid fighters outside of the heavyweights in the UK and Ireland, as well as one of the biggest draws due to his huge fanbase in Belfast.
Michael Conlan’s fight purses so far in his career aren’t exactly public knowledge. It is unknown exactly the amount he has made for each of his 20 professional fights to date. However, for his maiden world title challenge against Leigh Wood back in March 2022, Conlan reportedly earned a purse of $625,000 (source: totalsportal.com).
This is reportedly the 32-year-old’s highest purse to date throughout his career. Matchroom Boxing, Wood’s promoters, won the purse bids with a $1.5 million bid, of which Wood received the bigger percentage as the champion. This left Conlan with a 45% split of the purse, which worked out at $625,000.
For his fight against Luis Alberto Lopez, it is reported that the Irishman took home a purse of around £380,000 ($450k). This is the second largest purse of Conlan’s career, despite losing the fight. In fact, all three of Michael Conlan’s biggest purses have come in defeat rather than triumph.

Michael Conlan Sponsorship Deals
In terms of endorsements and sponsorships, Michael Conlan has a fair few. Given the fact he is a great fighter and is incredibly marketable, sponsors have been queuing up to get on board ‘Mick’ hype-train in recent years.

The former Irish Olympian is also sponsored by Fly boxing equipment who provide the Belfast man with his gloves and other boxing equipment.
Prior to his endorsement deal with Montirex, Conlan had a long-term partnership with Champion clothing. This deal is likely to have ended now with the Irishman now sporting Montirex sportswear during training camp, weigh-ins and press conferences.
Due to these sponsors, Mick Conlan earns a tidy sum outside of the ring, as well as earning a pretty penny in it. Now he is competing at world level on a regular basis, his earnings outside of the ring will continue to grow with various sponsors wanting to get on the Conlan hype-train.
