Mayweather is a dick but he's the greatest boxer to come along in a long time. Maybe the best of all time.

When I first head about this I sort of figured it wasn't including sponsors, but thinking more I'd imagine it wouldn't matter. 85 million in one year is incredible for any athlete to have made, and to think it was just for the 2 fights.

I wonder if that's as much as any athlete in history has made over 12 months My guess would be maybe a Michael Shumacer or Tiger Woods would have topped it slightly in years past, but then you think about the number of events they actually partake in and how much they would have to travel etc. Mayweather's made that for less than an hours work without leaving town, pretty insane.
