When welterweight Floyd Mayweather was No. 1 on Sports Illustrated’s
Fortunate 50 last year—knocking out Tiger Woods, who had been No. 1 every
year since SI started producing the list in 2004—it looked like a fluke, the
result of the $85 million he received for his fights with Victor Ortiz and
Miguel Cotto. Now Mayweather is proving that he belongs at the top. From just
two bouts this year, one earlier this month and the other scheduled for
September, he will earn at least $90 million, and that’s conservative; he
could make as much as $128 million.
There are other notable shifts this year. LeBron James (No. 2) passed Kobe
Bryant (No. 4). Tiger Woods (No. 5) is back above Phil Mickelson (No. 6)—
thanks to $4 million more in tour winnings. Drew Brees wasn’t on last year’
s list but he burst into the top five thanks to a $37 million signing bonus
from his new contract.
The findings consist solely of salary, winnings, bonuses and endorsements. SI
consulted players’ associations, tour records, online databases, agents and
media reports. The endorsement estimates come from a stable of marketing
executives, agents and other experts, including Burns Entertainment & Sports
Marketing.
Candidates for the Fortunate 50 must be U.S. citizens or play in a U.S.—
based league. Endorsements reflect current deals, and salaries are based on
current or most recently completed seasons; for instance, for NFL players the
season that ended in February was used. (Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco’s new
deal, which will pay him $20.1 million next season, isn’t reflected.) For
auto racing and tennis, prize money came from the 2012 calendar year. Golf
earnings are from July 1, 2012 through April 21, 2013. Boxing purses are from
August 2012 through May 2013 (but projected money from bouts through
September was included since fight deals are done on a yearly basis).
