" Im the highest paid athlete" floyd mayweather jr

Mayweather explains why he cant give Pacquiao 50-50

"how my deal is structured at this particular time in the sport of boxing, i keep 100% of ppv revenue, so why would i even give a guy 50-50. At this particular time, Im not just the highest paid guy in the sport of boxing, IM THE HIGHEST PAID ATHLETE. Everybody is entitled to their own opinion, but i come first... self preservation. I put myself first and worry about my family. If the fight happens it do. Do iwant the fight happen? Absolutely! If i dont, so be it. Because when my career is over. I cant come to Bob Arum and say i need you to pay my bills."

 

is it true he's the highest paid athlete?

 

i read something that said he was the 3rd highest grossing athlete behind Tiger Woods and some other guy. thats pretty damn close

 

I don't see him in the top of the highest paid athletes on forbes.

 

higher than kobe and lebron?

 

Worst excuse I ever heard ..Imagine if Delahoya acted this way ..

 

Hes in the top 2-3.

in other words, Floyd just don't want to fight Pac.
