[psychic duck]

Mayweather does extremely well for himself considering he's only had one match a year since his comeback in 2009

Pacquiao vs Mayweather match would make crazy amounts

it's a shame that some twonks like John Terry and Michael Vick are on that list

 

[SelimNiai]

Mark Sanchez. $25 million. Wow, imagine how much he'd get if he was....you know....good.

 

[big ginger 8]

Ridiculous the money some of these guys get. As usual I read Larry Fitzgerald as Luke Fitzgerald nearly overcome with shock.

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

No.85?

Are London Irish really overvaluing JJ or is it a namesake of his?

 

[big ginger 8]

Corner Back in American Football. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnathan_Joseph

Thought this for a second, then just thought naaaahhh. Google images turned up some pictures of an American Football player and things made sense.

 

[dudeabides]

It's A SHAME the best fighter in the world, Anderson Silva, isn't up there.

 

[dullonien]

It's A SHAME the best fighter in the world, Anderson Silva, isn't up there.

He probably still makes bucket loads of cash, so it's difficult to feel too sorry.

 

[admartian]

No way in any universe that Sam Bradford should be anywhere near close to Tom Brady. Let alone beat him.

That, and Mark Sanchez...

 

[nickdnz]

Seeing Floyd at the top of that list makes me sad. It was obviously going to be him, but that much money to that much of a prick...

 

[lucky number 7]

And not a single rugby player was seen that day..
