FLOYD THE 2nd HIGHEST PAID IN SPORTS!

... and Tiger's caddie makes over $1 mil a year.

 

How much did YOU make this year.atsch :-(

 

But that is boxing. Remember Oscar got hotels and promotions and all kinds of stuff. He is a walking bank roll.

Firstly, PBF's earnings will be diluted with all the personnel that he will have to pay - it's team-Floyd really. Secondly, endorsements make the majority of any top-class sportsperson's salary.

Tiger has already grossed over a billion in his career I believe.

 

After this fight he might be top 5 this year, Mickelson making 51 million this year is a shock, he has had a fine year but I didn't think he was THAT rich. :shock:

 

I'm sure Oscar, on top of his purse for his fight against Floyd, made alot of money on the Hatton - PBF fight
