Highest paid athletes?

[mat]

I wasn't sure where to post this but since the two highest paid were boxers I figured this was as good as any. There are some suprises on the list. It's pretty obvious that they are all over paid but but probably none more so than Carlos Lee. :o

Your thoughts on any of them?

Honestly Mat, I don't think any of them are over-paid.  A quote from speaker and Sales Wizrd Zig Ziegler, "It's not what you deserve, it's what you negotiate...".  That's the beauty of capitalism (not trying to change this to a "Political Viewpoints" discussion)...

This shows boxing is still king and Dana White is running a racket continuing to pile up money while his fighters are underpaid.  I wonder how long it will be before the UFC starts losing fighters back to boxing where all of the money is.
