Floyd Mayweather has done it again … sitting on the very top of Forbes’ 2015 highest paid athletes in the world list … a list that contains ZERO players from the NFL.
Mayweather made roughly $ 300 MILLION in 2015 … almost doubling the #2 guy Manny Pacquiao ($ 160 million) and #3 Cristiano Ronaldo ($ 79.6).
They’re followed by Lionel Messi ($ 73.8), Roger Federer ($ 67), LeBron ($ 64.8), Kevin Durant ($ 54.1), Phil Mickelson ($ 50.8), Tiger Woods ($ 50.6) and Kobe Bryant ($ 49.5).
The list is essentially comprised of the same names as last year with one noticeable difference … the one NFL guy from ’14, Matt Ryan, has dropped off.
For the record, it’s the 3rd time in 4 years that Mayweather has been #1.
