What sport pays the highest?

[SonnyG8R]

Another way to look at it, is that in his prime Mike Tyson was making 10 mill or whatever for less than 3 minutes of work in the ring a couple times a year. I know there is training and all that, but baseball players for example put in close to 500 hours of on field playing time per years.

If you string Tysons earnings out to reflect a normal 40 hour work week the guy was making in the billions. lol

my brother, through online poker alone, has accumulated $20,000 since school ended the first week of May. I'd say poker pays the most

but the NBA probably pays the most, seeing as first round draft picks are guaranteed $800,000 starting salary

Poker is not a sport, you dumb sons of bitches.

how is it not?

How is it?

It's about as much of a sport as ******* off. Don't let the fact that it's on ESPN make you think it's a sport.

It's a freaking leisure activity.

and i guess, according to you, when you win in poker, it's called luck?

[RoyFlapsHisLips]

No. Strategy is indeed involved. There's also strategy involved in mother****ing Battleship, and that's no goddamned sport either. Neither is chess, checkers, backgammon, or Jenga.

Jesus Christ... ESPN has you dolts totally mind****ed.

No. Strategy is indeed involved.

what kind of strategy are you referring to?

and i guess pool isnt a sport either, according to you.

What? Shall I consult my poker manual??

some fighters consider boxing their leisure activity.


just like most people consider golf a leisure activity. does that make it not a sport? laughing at your ignorance.
