Katie Taylor only boxer to make 'most marketable' athlete list as Conor McGregor misses out

Katie Taylor was the only boxer to make the 'most marketable athlete' list as Conor McGregor missed out.

The list compiled by Sports Pro listed the 50 most marketable athletes and Taylor was the sole boxer on the list.

But Conor McGregor was not on the list despite his massive social media following.

McGregor has amassed close to 50 million followers on Instagram but was not deemed marketable enough.

Taylor sneaks inside the top 50 in 47th place, ahead of Rory McIlroy, Harry Kane and Marcus Rashford and just one place behind Novak Djokovic.

The list is dominated by football stars with Cristiano Ronaldo taking top spot while sporting rival Lionel Messi is in fifth place.

Recently retired Serena Williams is second with Lewis Hamilton third and LeBron James in fourth.
