    Default SI List of 50 Top Paid Athletes; Mayweather at 4

    SI.com - The Fortunate 50


    Just saw this, I'm shocked that one, Floyd is so high and two, that Oscar isn't the top paid boxer. A bit shocking. Although it says he got 20 mil from his WWE venture which I know was doubted and never confirmed. But they put a lot of time in this list, who knows

    The idea that he got twenty million dollars for Wrestlemania always sounded ridiculous to me, I mean its a business, did they really think he would help their business so much that he could be paid twenty million dollars. Enough people buy Wrestlemania as it is.

    Oscar is the top paid boxer - he made a reported $52 million for the Floyd fight.

    Maybe the people that compiled the list didn't realise he was American

    Floyd threw 150 k I think it was at a gym our club went to not long ago in MI. I'm thinking now it was prob just a miniscule tax write off.

    I want to be Tiger Woods. Not just for the money, but because he is Tiger freakin Woods!

    Floyd got 2 million for wrestle mania and a percentage of the pay per view, 20 million was a cunning advertisement ploy which obviously worked quite well, as many tuned in to see if he got his money's worth, what a pile of crap.

    Oscar with Golden Boy, his new magazines and all of his other ventures have pushed him very close to being a billionaire which he has openly admitted, which kind of beats the others by quite a bit. As someone above said maybe they thought he was Mexican, but since when has Mexico been in California, mmm, most of these things are based on estimates of published earnings, not sure these guys would be willing to hand over their tax returns for public view.

    that list just lost its credibility when they mentioned floyd made 20 million from his venture with WWE

    Schumacher used to be the highest paid in the world.


    Why is Ben Wallace on the list??

    Its US athletes man, not US based! And I don't think he earns as much as Tiger. He'd get a shit load from advertising, but Tiger Woods does too!

    How do golfers earn so much money? Its a shit sport. Actually its a hobby!
