Calciatore? Golfista? Cestista? No. L’atleta più pagato dell’anno è il boxer Floyd Mayweather. La classifica l’hanno stilata quelli di Forbes e motivano così la posizione numero #1:
[quote style=”2″]Mayweather is the first athlete besides Tiger Woods to earn $100 million in Forbes’ annual tally of the highest-paid athletes. His September 2013 fight against Canelo Alvarez set records for highest pay-per-view gross ($150 million), live gate ($20 million) and total revenue (roughly $200 million). The Canelo fight marked the second bout in the blockbuster 30-month, six fight deal he signed with Showtime in 2013.[/quote]
