forbes/athletes/list/#page:1_sort:4_direction:desc_search: -- Ok Tiger is #1 but only one track athlete makes the top 100 and he is at #40. Only two cricketers make the list, both Indian; and only three women, all tennis players. Ten sports make the list with Baseball having the most, twenty seven, Basketball next with twenty one and then soccer with fourteen. Usain is at the bottom of the list if you look at Salary/Winnings whereas Floyd Mayweather comes out on top in Salary/Winnings. Mayweather had zero endorsements whereas Federer and Tiger tie for the top spot based on endorsements only. The fact that the Olympics fell during the period under review may have contributed to Usain’s Winnings being so low since athletes usually go easy on the circuit in an Olympic year and do not get paid to perform at the Olympics.
