Mary Kom the Boxer No Match to the Actor in Terms of Earnings

September 15, 2015 by BollywoodPresents Team

Priyanka Chopra’s Mary Kom is doing quite well at the box office. But if you closely look at the subject of the movie, and in general, the dismal state of sports of India, have you ever wondered how much money does Mary Kom make, or what is Mary Kom’s net worth?

Well, Mary’s earnings has definitely improved in the last couple of years because of the endorsements she is doing. But considering her accomplishments its still not much, especially when you compare it with other sports.

There are many who believe that “Priyanka will likely earn more money fighting as a boxer in the movie, than Mary Kom has earned in her entire carrier by actually doing it.”

But how much is Mary Kom’s net worth?

According to Forbes India, May Kom is worth around 3.3 crore rupees.

Her sources of income are mostly awards & endorsements.

Mangte Chungneijang Mary Kom (also known as MC Mary Kom, Magnificent Mary or simply Mary Kom) belongs to Kom tribal community of north-eastern state of Manipur.

Despite being a five-times world champion boxer, it was her Olympics bronze medal that gave the diminutive Manipuri boxer nationwide recognition. Mary Kom is also the brand ambassador for Super Fight League, India’s first mixed martial arts event and spearheads P&G’s Proud Sponsor of Mums campaign.
