Floyd Mayweather, LeBron James Headline SI's Top 50 Earners in Sports List
BY MIKE CHIARI (FEATURED COLUMNIST) ON MAY 15, 2013
Not only are Floyd Mayweather and LeBron James considered to be the best in
their respective sports, but they are also the richest athletes in the United
States, according to Sports Illustrated's "Fortunate 50" profile.
在美國,Floyd Mayweather&LeBron James在他們的領域都是最好的運動員,同時也是賺最
多的人
SI's Daniel Roberts reports that Mayweather stands to make $90 million this
year based solely on two fights. He already beat Robert Guerrero soundly in
his first fight in 2013 and he is scheduled to fight again in September
against an opponent that has yet to be determined.
Miami Heat forward LeBron James won his fourth MVP award this season and
seems poised to win a second consecutive NBA title as well. James "only"
makes $17.5 million in base salary this season, but thanks to $39 million in
endorsements, King James checks in at a distant No. 2 on the list with more
than $56.5 million coming in this year.
熱火隊的前鋒LeBron James在本季獲得了第四座MVP,更有望在拿下一座總冠軍,
而他本季他"只"獲得了$17.5百萬的薪水,但靠著代言,他又賺了$39百萬,今年James在排行榜
中以$56.5百萬排行第二
Also, James is the first team-sport player to land in the top two on the
"Fortunate 50" list since former Los Angeles Lakers center Shaquille O'Neal
in 2004, per SI's Twitter account.
同時,James是在2004年湖人中鋒歐尼爾之後首度以團隊運動的運動選手獲得前兩名

According to Roberts, Woods had been No. 1 in the "Fortunate 50" every year
from 2004 until 2012 when Mayweather assumed the top spot. Woods is back in
familiar territory thanks to an incredibly strong 2013 season thus far.
另外,老虎伍茲從2004~2012年一直是排行榜第一名,但今年是由竄起的Mayweather
獲得第一名
Being highly paid doesn't always guarantee success on the field of play, as
some of the athletes on the list have proven, but there is no question that
Mayweather and James are deserving of their No. 1 and No. 2 positions,
respectively.
從表上可得知,高所得不保證高成就,但無疑的,Mayweather&James絕對對得起他們
的所得
