‘Money’ man Mayweather ends Tiger’s rich list reign

No longer golf’s world No 1, Tiger Woods has also been deposed as sport’s highest earner after an 11-year reign.

Woods has slipped to third in the world’s 100 highest-paid athletes list conducted by Forbes behind two boxers, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquaio.

Mayweather collected a total of $85m (€67.3m) for his two fights with Victor Ortiz in September and Miguel Cotto last month.
