What sport pays the highest?

[spinksjinx]

ok boys and girls let me school you on this.... pro sports do not pay as much as people would think, GOLF!!!!! i seen that a few people mentioned golf well if you did and think that your a complete moron! if you win lets say the us open you win 2.5 mill, minus taxes fees managers, caddies etc.. u get 1 cash, now where ALL pro athletes make all there money is ENDORSMENTS!!!!!! not actually playing there respected sport but from ENDORSMENTS!! so it doesnt matter which pro sport pays the most its the person playing the sport, personality, stats, charisma many things come into play in order to make a multi million dollar enforsment deal. Lebron James made around 2 mill playing for the cavs this year he got 105 millin from nike and 10 mill from sprite thats where he made his $. Now soccer on the other hand thats a per goal payment plan for instance david beckam or however you spell it makes over 25 mill a year 2 mill per goal and insentives.now the MOST paid athlete believe it or not is schumaker he races formula one cars he makes around 750 mill a year reason.... he is sponsored by ferrari and endorsed by over 50 companys thats how the race car drivers make there money with all those little stickers on there cars, so people please! remmember!!!! its not the sport that pays these athletes all this money its the major corporations that shell out millions upon millions so an all-star caliber athlete would endorse there product! thank you and i wish i taught some of you fools something! BYE!

Umm Golf has an insane amount of money to be made especially if there are rich sponsors (Golf isnt a poor mans sport) and it is a skins game. A golfer can easily make 5 million in a days work of golf easily. At skins more is able to be made.

I would say either golf or tennis, hell even if you get last you still get a rather big payday

Aw ****! I've always talked about Schummi gettin' 100+ million pounds a year but my estimate was dwarfed by your statement! 750+ million POUNDS? That's some crazy **** load of money!

Michael Schummacer owns Shaq, Kobe, Tiger, ODLH, Tyson, etc.
