Mayweather Tops List Of The World's 100 Highest-Paid Athletes

Hating on a certain name only give them a certain fame

My hating has never enriched Mayweather and sucker punches are poor value for money. Most sensible people would agree, Mayweather is looking somewhat ring worn now too. The Cotto fight was actually very close and Mayweather looked for the easy way out against Ortiz.

He isn't looking all that great at all these days.

That fight was not close seriously hes great value for money IMO hes a master of his craft.Hes the best boxer ive ever seen period.

He is the best boxer you have seen? Floyd was very good at the smaller weights, but for years now he has been picking and choosing and ducking and diving. The man is a fraud. You cannot say someone is the best you have ever seen if he doesn't play the game and Floyd doesn't play the game, he does it his way and it all about money rather than greatness. Hatton at WW, overweight against Marquez, Ortiz suckerpunch, Cotto close, DLH occasional pot shot and run, the Manny run around. It's a nonsense really. That's the best you have ever seen? He is not all that and he is half shot and knows it.

Its only my opinion but yes hes the best boxer ive seen, theres noway i believe hes running from pacman and ortiz deserved what he got come on man he tryed to stick the nut on mayweather.Also i just dont think the cotto or DLH fights were remotely close.

[g3org3]

Also yea mayweathers on the slide now but even an 80% mayweather is still way to much for anyone in boxing right now.

If you believe what you believe then that is cool, but I have a very hard time seeing it that way. There are too many holes in Floyd for me to respect his higher weight resume and it is tough to give full credit to one who ducks and dodges like Floyd does.

Also if he isn't ducking Pac, then why doesn't the fight happen? Manny has agreed to everything now. Or why not Martinez at 154? Floyd doesn't fight because he is done. He will end up fighting Guerrero at a 150 CW, get a close points win, and then moan for 2 years about not getting any respect.

Floyd Mayweather doesn't deserve every penny. For fighting Ortiz? For figting Cotto half a decade past his sell by date? Floyd is canny, but he isn't value for money in the slightest. I hope he ends up like Holyfield. That would teach him for conning the public into these stupid fights. KO by sucker punch? Pathetic. He should have had his pay docked for that nonsense.

I agree that was a sucker punch, Mayweather showed how ruthless he can be and as a fighter although i consider him an amazing talent I lost some respect for him that fight as a fighter. There was no need to do that, Ortiz was right in front of him and it was obvious he wasn't ready. Cortez didn't help matters but no surprise there. I understand during a fight a boxer will have a lot going through his head but Mayweather is experienced enough that he could have let the fight get going. He wanted an early night, I still think Ortiz at his best could have caused Mayweather problems bullying him against the ropes and rushing him but as the saying goes rules are rules and Mayweaher got away with it. Ortiz was stupid to put the nut in, he wasted an opportunity of a lifetime. I was just disappointed with it all more than anything and i'm sure it's the same for most.

As for the crazy amount of money he earned, can't really knock it. I wouldn't say no, I doubt any of his family will have to work again for a long, long time and who wouldn't like to be in a position to take advantage of that opportunity. As long as people go to these events and PPV does well athletes will always earn ridiculous amounts of money.

Hate on Floyd all you want, but its genuine superstars like him and Pacquaio who have carried boxing on their backs for the last few years. Boxing is in hard shape right now.

Retard! There is a lot more to boxing than a semi retired muppet ducker.

Floyd is retired! You must be in hibernation.

Miles is pissed because Floyd beat Hatton's ass and made him hit that ring post.

Man, it's always the white man that be hating on a successful brotha. SMH.

No, I don't care about that. Maywether is a fraud because of what he does. I simply tell my truth.

Those are some big purses, Mayweather had to beat a lot of women to get the one he wanted.

:P
