Boxing is a combat sport played between 2 people inside a ring. This sport again carries the high risk, high payoff scenario like the previous one. But in this case, the athletes are required to be in the prime of their fitness to achieve something big. Popular boxers earn huge rewards from different tournaments and face-offs. They also gain huge profits from the Pay-Per-View commissions, betting, and endorsement deals. The famous retired American boxer, Floyd Mayweather achieved the first sport in the Forbes List of highest-paid athletes with $85 million in income in 2012. He topped the list again in 2014 with $105 million income.

Basketball

Surprisingly the highest paying sport in the world is the one that is played by superhumans – Basketball. Basketball players are no normal beings who cannot be noticed when roaming around in the city. The average height in the NBA (American basketball league) is about 6ft 7inches. Although these players are recognized for their unbelievable talent on the court, it’s strategic off-court moves that have led to their financial success. Former NBA legend, Michael Jordan is the first-ever sports personality to reach a billion-dollar valuation, thanks to Nike’s Jordan brand. Current NBA superstars like LeBron James and Steph Curry also feature in the top 10 most paid athletes’ list of Forbes. But there is a hell of a lot of players below the top 10 in the list who play basketball for a living. Although basketball is not the most popular sport in the USA it is the high valued endorsement deals and the ease of branding in the sport, which helps the sport stands top in the list.
