100 Highest Paid Athletes. Floyd & Pac topped the list.

"Mayweather maximizes his earnings by also acting as his own fight promoter through his company Mayweather Promotions. He collects all of the revenue from tickets, pay-per-view and sponsorships and covers the costs, including the purse for his opponent. His take home per fight is typically at least 50% higher than what his rival Manny Pacquiao earns."


This ISN'T a Floyd v Pac thread, let's just celebrate - TOP TWO SPOTS goes to Boxing. :bbb


The List:

1. Floyd Mayweather ($85 million) (2 fights - Ortiz & Cotto)
2. Manny Pacquiao ($62 million) (2 fights - JMM & Bradley)
3. Tiger Woods ($59.4 million)
4. Lebron James ($53 million)
5. Roger Federer ($52.7 million)
6. Kobe Bryant ($52.3 million)
7. Phil Mickelson ($47.8 million)
8. David Beckham ($46 million)
9. Cristiano Ronaldo ($42.5 million)
10. Peyton Manning ($42.4 million)

I can't believe Pac topped Tiger Woods. Tiger had a good run last year.

You really love to turn every thread into trash.

 

Yup, and as the article says: "Mayweather maximizes his earnings by also acting as his own fight promoter through his company Mayweather Promotions."

 

Yup, Pac bring in a lot of fans too. The reason he's not earning as much as Floyd is because Floyd is his own boss. He gets all the profits.

 

Yup, it may not be 50/50 but the very least Floyd could do is offer 55/45 or 60/40. To give Pac ZERO PPV is as laughable as Arum demanding 50/50.
