Mayweather tops Forbes list of worlds highest paid athletes.

# Money Team

 

Good for boxing: The top 2 spots occupied by boxers.

Bad for boxing: The #1 money boxer is currently in jail.

 

Effectively should kybosh any argument that Pacquaio deserves an even money split against Floyd as a fighter and he effectively surrenders extra money to his promoter that Floyd does not.

 

The other thing to me that this shows is how **** as a manager Ellerbe is to be honest. As a manager, Ellerbe should have Floyd earning 20-25 million a year in endorsements for various products.

 

Doesn't matter. They won't fight one another.

Here's a fact that is interesting though:

Some scientists estimate that there are 80-100 billion galaxies in the observable universe. And there might be as many as 50 billion planets per galaxy. Pretty insane when you think about those numbers. The scope of even just the observable universe is staggering.

This in no way relates to boxing, however, since everyone seems to recycle the same threads over and over again I'd try and offer something new to the conversation.
