Floyd Mayweather Tops Forbes List of Highest-Paid Athletes
The world's highest-paid athlete is in jail. The guy in second place just lost a title fight, and the man who held the distinction for a decade is now third.
Forbes has released its list of the 100 highest paid athletes, and boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., nicknamed "Money," is No. 1. reports FoxSports.
Mayweather, who made $85 million for two fights last year, is currently serving a three-month jail sentence in Las Vegas for domestic battery.
Boxer Manny Pacquiao is second on the magazine's list at $62 million from earnings and endorsements. Pacquiao lost his WBO welterweight title to Timothy Bradley earlier this month.
Tiger Woods, No. 1 on the list since 2001, made $59.4 million to place third.
LeBron James of the Miami Heat is fourth ($53 million). He is one of 13 basketball players on the list.
Tennis star Roger Federer is fifth at $52.7 million.
Thirty football players made the top 100, with Peyton Manning tops among them at No. 10. The Denver Broncos' new quarterback made $42.4 million during his last season with the Indianapolis Colts, even though he sat out the entire season while recovering from a neck injury.
David Beckham of the Los Angeles Galaxy was No. 8 overall and the highest ranked soccer player at $46 million.
New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez was tops among baseball players and No. 18 overall with $33 million.
Two women, both tennis players, made the list. Maria Sharapova ($27.9 million) comes in at No. 26, and Li Na ($18.4 million).

@greebruh quit that spamming, I'm saying that i don't believe in christianity, so all those symbols don't mean anything to me.
second of all that information you posted is not "proof", anyone with an internet connection can post those things online, there could be alternate meanings to those things.
but as i said, i don't believe in jesus and his miracles, so this info is BS

Morons wont even look into stuff. They would rather be wrong and think they are right never giving a reason as to why they are right, just that they are. So I know people who think they know it all won't even open their eyes to see it.

Lol you fools do know that this "devil sign BS" belief is built on the premise of religion, which is mostly BS, atleast 40% of the conspiracy theory of the illuminati has something to do with a specific religion, and that makes the theory uncredible seein as religion is BS and all. the illuminati theory takes one hard blow to the stomach there...(ouch)
