getting paid $300 million a year? Well, this boxer named Floyd Mayweather does just that. He is not just the highest paid but the highest paid EVER. He even beats out the position once held by(YUCK!) TIger Woods at $115 million. I guess punching people in the face does pay in some circles. Hehe I couldn't even wrap my head round millions of dollars, but hundreds of millions--? He now rates as the 6th greatest pound for pound welterweight of all time and received Best Fighter ESPY Award in 2007, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014. Spike TV gave him "The Best Ever Award" in 2015. He is now retired and is recognized as the best boxer of his generation and even amongst the greatest fighters of all time. Ali being the best in my book. Your thoughts...

I do not like this sport, even if I remember Cassius Clay (alias Ali). I have never seen this one.

I remember seeing Cassius Clay and now what has happened to him is so sad.

@TiarasOceanView Me too! Most people are all like "it's only a dollar" and I am standing there looking at it thinking "it's a dollar for that?"

I used to like boxing a lot now I watch that kick boxing every once in a while. I have heard of him but don't think I ever saw him fight but the money they make is outrageous.

I think I have seen him in the news after a domestic thing.

I don't follow boxing so I can't give an opinion on who is best. But, no one is worth getting paid so much. My mom used to always say that the harder you worked, the less money you seemed to make. How true is that?

Lucky for sure. You'd think he would take enough out on his wife that his other wouldn't shine so much. He's a rich Jerk!
