Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather Tops List of Highest-Paid Athletes of 2017

Mayweather made all that money clowning around with McGregor.

It's a shame when other boxers are arguing about who's A or B side, what side of the world to fight, or who's scared to fight who?

Those are Kim Kardashian numbers. Imagine if Floyd was actually entertaining how much money he would have.

Remember like 7 or 8 years ago when this list would come out and it would be 30 pages in a few hours about how pacman was really the richest because congressman salary (like 28k usd lol) or floyd was really the wealthiest because of lottery soda and yacht investments? Good times.

Historically football players don't sell merchandise as well as others.

The individual sports lead the pack. That being golf and tennis. (Target demographics matter here. Huge spending audience.)

Most believe it's because of the helmets lol I think it's a combination of things though.

Football players get ****ed all around compared to other sports. (Unless you're a QB)

Haha. Soccer players do ok as team players. Must be the helmets lol

Floyd would also top the biggest spender as well.

Net worth or liquid assets would be a better indicator.

The most boring, risk averse boxer of all-time is the world's highest paid athlete. Smh. Sugar Ray Robinson is rolling over in his grave and Sugar Ray Leonard is cursing that he was born 20 years too early.

You okay in the head? Floyd was not boring & Floyd would whoop Walker Smith Jr. & Leonard.

Floyd Mayweather is a fantastic example for every Boxer, Athlete and Businessman in the World.

Floyd came from a broken home and extreme poverty yet still managed to raise himself to become very wealthy and successful.

Floyd is a far better businessman then the 6 times bankrupt President Trump, who inherited the equivalent of 1 Billion today!

Floyd Mayweather would make a much better President of the USA then Trump!

He got my vote!

Listen to these fools bragging about Floyd's money like they are getting a cut.

And listen to you talk like a fool when other people are happy for another man having success. smh

He was that's why he made that much.

He was that's why he made that much.

He was entertaining? Is that your claim?
