Manny Pacquiao Earnings and the Best Paid Athletes 2010-2011

April 22, 2011 Business Tips Leave a Comment

Have you asked how much is Manny Pacquiao’s earnings? Just how much money he is making from the sports of boxing? ESPN The Magazine, in its May 2011 “all about the money” issue, publishes the best-paid athletes in 30 sports. The athletes were ranked based on their official base salary or earnings from the most recently completed season or calendar year. Their earnings exclude endorsements, appearance fees, sponsorship money and other sources of extra income.

Manny Pacquiao, with a $32 million (roughly 1.4 billion in Philippine pesos!) estimated purse in two fights in 2010, ties the no. 1 spot with Alex Rodriguez, an American Major League Baseball third baseman for the New York Yankees. Rodriquez estimated $32 million earnings come from his 2011 salary. So the business of boxing and baseball top the highest paying sports today according to the list.

Racecar driver Kimi Raikkonen follows Pacquiao and Rodriquez with a $26,333,333 from his World Rally Championship 2010 race winnings (plus $12.7M from severed F1 contract). NBA superstar Kobe Bryant got an estimated salary of $24,800,000 from his NBA 2010-2011 salary; while Portuguese footballer and soccer player Cristiano Ronaldo has a $19,500,000 estimated earnings from his 2010-2011 salary from Spanish La Liga club.
