Is Mayweather the highest paid athelete in any sport?

Tiger Woods has that crown by miles and miles. Hell Put Mayweather, Pacquiao, Berto, Mosley, Pavlik, Dawson, and the entire super six together and they still don't crack what Woods made. Mayweather made over 100 million in his career, Woods made over a billion.

 

avrage 30-50 mill for each of next 3 fights + the 70 he has made in his last 2 thats 5 fights and 180-220 mill in 5 years or so. i dont know of any body making 180-220 in a 5 year contract.

 

whats mayweather total earnings (approx)???

whats p diddy and jay-z total earnings???

 

lol, that website called Ricky Hatton a great.

 

You are wrong. BBC or sky sports which ever had its own international feed with its on broadcasters. Before Mayweather came on he said to the people in the dressing room i want to see my circus act on this t.v. in here before i go out. A lady in the background said thats not HBO its the international feed so they couldnt switch it at the time.

 

You tell me and we will both know. I was mind blown when I saw the contracts those guys get.

It almost makes me think that they might be R&D wings for automotive companies. Kind of like test pilot pay.

I am completely ignorant on the subject. :huh

 

Diddy- £360 mil

Jay Z- £500million but i think thats with Beyonces' $ aswell.

 

I am pretty sure Tiger Woods is by far the biggest sports earner and is a billionaire ?

I think with alot of Sports u have to look at what the individual earns through sponsorship e.t.c

I bet Beckham has earned a fortune through sponsor deals for example

 

only popular f1 drivers get the serious big bucks, kimi raikonen got around 25 millions from ferrari which was the highest plus extra 20 on ad's, lewis hamilton got 10 million from mclaren then a further 10-15 million for ad's. f1 drivers get paid loads but not the most, and its only the top 5 that get paid alot. some drivers at the back of the grid dont even get paid they do it for free.

 

boxers deserve the most pay, they basically put the lives on the line, you loose a tennis match whatever, you loose a boxing fight its a big dent on your career, and your health is always at risk when fighting.

Also remember floyds earnings are just from actual sporting earnings, kobe, woods, kimi, beckham all the big earners make most there money from endorsements/Advertisements.

 

if floyd looked after his money, he would be filthy rich, too bad he spends every penny the guy gets, he is basically another mike tyson, grossing hundreds of millions, then ends up pretty much broke.

sometimes i think damm you dumb mother****ers look after your money.

 

I know - they are paid contracted salaries in dollars though, I just remember the media converting them to pounds a while back and the rate being about $2 to a pound. They still get the same dollar rate regardless.

 

floyd mayweather hasnt made 70million in two fights that's total BS

:hat

 

you could scratch a living off that i suppose:thumbsup
