Who's the top dog in all sports...

Forbes 2012 worlds richest athletes.

Top 10 - Is this a guy getting robbed by arum?



From may 2011- may 2012

1. Pacquiao = boxing, $67million
2. Tiger Woods = Golf, $58million
3. LeBron James = Basketball $53million
4. Roger Federer = Tennis $52million
5. Kobe Bryant = Basketball $50million
6. Phil Mickelson = Golf $48million
7. David Beckham = Football $46million
8. Payton Manning = Football $42million
9. Cristiano Ronaldo = Football $42million
10. Floyd Mayweather = Boxer $42million

To end, I say the Pacman is doing a hell of a lot better than the top athletes of the world.

Guess we now know who commands the Benjamin in all sports.

It's the Pacman.

50/50 split seems so generous of pac to offer someone.

Complete list:

Bob Arum should be at the top, that's where the money is really going lol...

Smh...why do yall care so much about what another man makes. If you asked Floyd to borrow 50 bucks he'd tell you to **** off.

Sound like an argument between the basketball wives talking about "my husband makes more than yours"

I don't know how anyone takes these trolls seriously.

A boxer makes more money than tiger woods and all you can do is hate.

Well hate on lmao. That's what you do anyway.

uhh no he gives to homeless people all the time. pacquiao on the other hand has bums sleeping outside of his gym and he doesn't do anything for them

[IIocano]

Good for King Pacquiao!! Let the haters hate. The Peoples champ be doing it big as always...

[Left2theliver]

Yup, you and every rational boxing fans knows that's about right, except for the hanger-ons who kissass Floyd all day and everyday hehehe!

Well, truth is, I don't understand why there are so many people that are angry about this. I'm pretty sure the people are Forbes didn't get together and say, "maaaan! That Floyd Mayweather guy, he's an *******!! Let's put him at the bottom of the list and pretend like he didn't make as much money as Manny this year."

Whether you're a Floyd, Manny, Cotto, Martinez, or Klitschko fan, it should be a positive thing that a Boxer is the #1 highest paid athlete.

[SpeedKillz]

Hmm....$2000 is greater than $1000 so he is richer even though he worked harder.

lol you are correct

Not even. It's positive news that 2 boxers made the top 10. That's great news and puch to the gut to those that claim boxing is a dying sport.

Yet people are upset and digging for reasons why their idol isn't #1.

[edgarg]

lol...so are you saying that the money from Pacs earnings are from 2 fights..and the money from Floyds earnings are just from 1 fight?
If that is the case Floyd is the higher earner, as he made that amount off of just 1 fight compared to Pacs amount off of 2 fights...

Gosh...Gee whiz... gollikers......how did you figure that out....... An undiscovered genius.

I'd bet you real money that you couldn't prove conclusively by an independent accounting firm, that Mayweather earned anything close to $42 mill from one fight. And the most he could have had from the 1.5 mill PPV Cotto fight after everyone including the IRS was paid , might be as much as $15 mill.....using careful math.

mayweathers 32 mil guarantee looks a lot better than pacroids 6 mil (how much is going to arum?)

let's not forget may took home over 55+ mil for cotto fight, and 40+ mil for mosley and ortiz
