Comments Thread For: Messi Unseats Mayweather on Forbes List, Canelo in #4 Position

[Robbie Barrett]

You do know his earnings for breazeale won’t be on that list right? This is for 2018

Wrong it's from June to May. Same every year.

And ggg think canelo ain’t calling shot lol

Canelo runs this fight game and the top 4 are latino athletes not bad at all well Ronaldo is kinda a Latino lol

Why is this even news.. Mayweather is not even a professional athlete anymore...

Part of Floyd's brand is being the bad guy. So any chance to undermine him in anyway is pro-Floyd's brand anyway so I doubt Floyd cares he's been "unseated" when he wasn't even in the race to begin with. Floyd's name mentioned in any article probably increases the clickability of said article by some nice %.

Two interesting things - First is the breakdown of the income

#4 Canelo Alvarez ($94 Million= 92 salary + 2 endorsements)
#13 Anthony Joshua ($55 Million= 45 salary + 10 endorsements)
#56 Deontay Wilder ($30.5 Million= 30 salary + 0.5 endorsements)
#92 Manny Pacquiao ($26 Million= 24 salary + 2 endorsements)
#95 Gennady Golovkin (25.5 Million= 23 salary + 2.5 endorsements)

The second interesting thing is that Wilder ain't doing that bad in terms of salary alone. Would be interesting to know what time period they considered because Wilder's stock has just started taking off.

Btw, just look at Federer...86million in endorsements alone. That is more than Wilder and Joshua combined from just endorsements even though his winning/salary ain't that much.

Wilder almost nothing in endorsements?! Well, not surprising. Which company would want to be associated with that clown?

When will Floyd learn that endorsements matter. He Just focused on properties which ain’t bad. BUT ENDORSEMENTS. One Floyd fight and he’s back at the top. But he ain’t going to be able to do that forever

It’s June through June

It’s June through June

That would be 13 months.

Early release from prison? Welcome back

Lou Cipher imposed an 18 month ban on the boards. But you're all on a very short lease. Consider it probation.

Surprised by Wilder TBH, it is the financial year 1st July 2018 - 30th June 2019 so that would only include Fury & Breazeale, wonder where the $30.5M came from between those two fights?

For some athletes it would be pretty easy to calculate in leagues where payments are public or where sponsorship details are made public, but for the rest they are just going on what has been public or guesses.
Like Joshua's $10M in sponsorships, they are just guessing there.
