TBE is the highest paid athlete in 2014...That's legacy

jealousy, is not a good trait right. no boxer or sportsperson, should be your role model *******!!

 

mayweather is a parasite to boxing. his pay-per-views continue to inflate in price and he refuses to fight the people the fans want him to fight (pacquiao, golovkin, etc). can't believe people rejoice when this scumbag charges $80 for a pay-per-view.

endorsements $0

 

50/50


smh and rotflmmfao!!!!

 

50/50

I'm always surprised that Wlad doesn't make this list.

I'd thought he'd be banking from germany.

 

$0 in endorsements is what makes this even more sweet.:deal A lot of these guys on the list make more money in endorsements than they do in in their actual sport.

 

Exactly the PBF haters hate him so much they can't see the good in that fact.

 

When it comes to Forbes lists, how closely the figures are held by the moneymaker in question plays a large factor. This goes for all their lists - some people try to make the case to Forbes' analysts and provide info to get a place on the list. Some people keep their real finances as closely held as possible and stay off the lists.

Given the Klits political situation in Ukraine, it should come as no surprise if flaunting wealth or letting the world know where it resides and in what quantity is something they wish to avoid.

 

This is not some after-school special, or a commercial.

Most boxers will not come remotely close to achieving what guys like Mayweather, Pacquiao, Klitschko, Hopkins, etc...have because they don't have the talent. No matter how hard they work. Just like how there's a zillion good high school basketball players, and a lot of good college ones, but only a small percentage will make the NBA or play overseas.

There is no middle class in boxing. Most boxers will get paid lousy money, along with having no 401k plan in a sport where the whole point is to damage someone else's body and head.

 

If you use the money Mayweather make as an example of why the he's "The Best" your a dickrider just like if you blame Mayweather for everything wrong with boxing your a hater.

Mayweather has a better WW resume than every WW an a better JMW resume than every JMW.
Its amazing that Mayweather is bad for the sport and is ducking the best by not fighting guys in his 6th division yet one of the "best" GGG can't move up to his second division. Outside of Pacquiao its not one fighter you can name Mayweather didn't fight that is better then the sum of guys he did fight.

 

If Floyd is not American, lets say, Nigerian and can barely speak english he'd be lucky to crack top 50 in this list. Now Pac is an Asian with average english and not even good looking yet making more than $40 million. Thats pure legacy.

 

Hows, pacs 68 million dollar tax debt to two govts coming on folks!!!

 

Who said exclusively? Look, before you start talking about other people babbling... at least learn to communicate in basic English.

As I said before, but will try and put in a way even you can comprehend:

risk avoidance tendencies of boxing's "biggest star" is a negative
Ridiculous TBE marketing crap turns people off
Empowering Al Haymon and co to put on garbage for all those years was a huge negative. Haymon got a lot of his leverage via Floyd and though 2013 was a decent year, it only seemed so great because it was not the norm.

And yeah... not fighting Manny. The biggest headline to casual sports fans regarding boxing for the past several years is how the biggest fights dont get made. It doesnt matter who is or is not more responsible between the two, their collective "era" is one that is seen by the greater public as being an era where risky fights dont get made. That the fans dont matter. In some regards its an unfair perception, because some good fights have of course been made - but it is a widely held perception nonetheless.

Of course if the only people you ever talk to have their own collection of TMT hats you might not see that.

 

Crap like this as well - from "both sides". Casual fans peering at boxing from the outside just see Floyd and Manny fans fighting each other constantly instead of Floyd and Manny fighting.

What an enticing draw to the sport right? atsch

The sooner both retire, the better. Its a major problem when fans of boxers fight each other instead of the boxers they are fans of.
