Given that Teix doesn't clear a mil in endorsements, and AP is only $2M shy of Jeter - I don't see NY helping him endorsement wise.

$25M Per puts him in the top 10.

Matthew Stafford at 11. And Bradford will get more than him. Wow.

New York certainly doesn't hurt one's ability to get endorsement money but a) greatness, b)charisma and c)salesmanship go a whole lot further.

Sure top boxers like Mayweather and Pacquaio make big bank but they're the only guys on the entire fight card making anything worth while.

Boxing sucks anymore...has for years.

Something I found odd. Albert and Jason Smith(of the Rams) were ranked 32 and 33.

Apparently not everyone agrees with you as he made twice as much playing his sport than any other athlete on the list. I knew he made boat-loads of cash, but not that many boats. I'm still shocked by it.

That golf and boxing have far greater international appeal than football it's not that hard to believe.

Jason Smith and a few of the others like Heyward-bey are on there as one timers b/c of salary quirks- one time bonuses etc.
