Manny Pacquiao as the Best Paid Athlete (ESPN Magazine)

A wapping $28 million (1.376 billion when converted to Philippine Peso) was earned by our fighting congressman for his fights in 2010 alone. Last year he defeated and crushed Joshua Clottey in March and  Antonio Margarito in November.


ESPN Magazine lists the Best Paid Athlete for the year 2010 that includes some of the known players from different field in different part of the globe. Some of the personalities named are Kobe Bryant of LA Lakers with $24,800.000, Kimi Raikkonen the formula one champion with $26,333,333, Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees with $32,000,000 and other sportsmen.


This year, we can expect Congressman Pacquiao to earn more as his line up of fights will start early with Sugar Shane Mosley on May 7.
