With $300 million (Sh30 billion) earned this year, American boxer Floyd “Money” Mayweather lived up to his nickname once again, topping the global sports rich-list as the world’s highest paid sportsman.
Mayweather’s earnings were almost four times those of Portugal’s celebrated football star Cristiano Ronaldo of Spanish giants Real Madrid who was third on the 2015 list compiled by Forbes with $79.6 million (Sh7.9 billion), ranked behind another boxer, Manny Pacquiao of the Philippines who raked in a tidy sum of $160 million, or Sh16 billion.
