Interesting. No football players on there either.

Makes sense really. Just by nature of the sport no baseball player can make as big an impact on winning as anyone on that list. It is wild to see how much the boxers make given how far out of the national eye the sport has fallen.

It is wild to see how much the boxers make given how far out of the national eye the sport has fallen. The list is international so "the national eye" isn't the main driver. It should also be noted that there are several Football (soccer) players listed which is easily the most popular sport in the world. I live in the Philippines, Manny Paquiao is a bigger icon here than Michael Jordan ever was in the USA. |

A little deceiving though. Arod made probably over 500 million from 2005-2015 in a decade (I'm guessing), but it wasn't in the 2010's decade. Baseball players will probably start to rise in the 2020's decade and so fourth. The truth part is Trout could have been one of the headliners in this decade in money made (at least within the top 10), but never chose to go to free agency and always took a discount to stay in LA. He doesn't like to be in the spotlight either. Trout could have easily made twice the amount of money in his career if he wasn't a soft spoken good guy (not good with endorsements) who went to free agency. |

That is everything wrong with the NCAA right there. $9,000 over three years in what literally was just a few simple mistakes and they vacate wins and get two years probation. All because they didn't change things like a Telecom fee from on campus to off campus. Come on now, it certainly didn't help our Basketball program.

Lol, I still laugh thinking there were fools out there that paid to watch mayweather carry mcstupid for the first half of the fight then dismantle him like a punching bag. He couldn't have beat a top 30 guy in a 10 rounder let alone the best p4p fighter at the time. Then he wanted to fight manny who would have put him in a casket in the first 2 rds.

Manny is 41 years old and doesn't train when the Senate is in session. He's the greatest p4p fighter in history but it's not likely to be a cakewalk. A clash of a used to be vs a never was. www.si.com/boxing/2020/09/26/manny-pacquiao-conor-mcgregor-fight-confirmedThis is a $$ sideshow circus. It's like the #1 female tennis player vs the 45th ranked senior male tennis player. Deja vu all over again and it will bring in many millions. |

It's like the #1 female tennis player vs the 45th ranked senior male tennis player. Deja vu all over again and it will bring in many millions. I have to strongly disagree with you. Manny a little over a year ago beat a top 10 p4p at the time of the fight. Thurman by many was considered a top 2 or 3 guy in a loaded division and manny beat him. If a fight with mcstupid happens the only way he makes it past the 2nd rd is if manny wants him too. At 41 manny is still a top ranked fighter and a current belt holder. I could honestly go down the street grab a club fighter and they would beat conor in a boxing match. Boxing and ufc are completely different sports its a hell of alot easier to go from boxing to UFC tune ufc to boxing. He has no chance in a boxing match with elite fighter unless its a fix. |

I'm leery of his age, he'll be 42 and most of the time he's not training. He'll win but I don't think it will be a knockout. He was pretty clearly tired near the end of his last fight in spite of the knockdown.
