    Why isn't Pac's name on that list? I thought Pac made at least 20 million a piece for his last couple of fights.

    Pacquiao was guarenteed $18MM for his fight against Rios I believe. He would've needed to make over $23MM to make the list. The Rios fight was his only fight in 2013.

    Good point. I forgot that Pac only fought Rios in 2013.

    NBA has a cap that prevents how much teams can spend on players

    but endorsements give them a lot of $$$. Damian Lillard who is in his 2nd year already has a 10yr $100 million deal with adidas

    That's true. It looks like the list does not include endorsements.

    Let me get this straight. You're surprised that the biggest names in the world's biggest sport are among the biggest earners? :blood
