              I wonder how much goes on the Super Bowl? I bet it doesn't move the point spread.

                  "Extrapolating from Nevada data, the financial planning website Mint estimates that more than $8 billion is wagered every year on the Super Bowl alone. An estimated 200 million people making wagers on the outcome of the game worldwide."

                                  Easy go for sure.

                                  But you're out of your fucking mind if you think he made that money easy.

                                  Good luck.

                                      Unless I missed it, it doesnt say anything about covering spread. He may be just taking money line. Of course, either way still insane.

                                              People work hard there whole and don't even come close to making 10m or the 100+ million he has, so, he just happens to be a freakish athlete who makes a fuck'n boat load of money from fights and endorsements. I would say in the grand scheme of things it much easy for him to make money than the average joe.

                                                  I'd have to +1 this.

                                                  Professional athletes in general make an obscene amount of money. I know NHL hall-of-famers that won championships in the 70s that still have to work because they didn't have the crazy contracts of today.

                                                      Translation :

                                                      "Since I don't know what training, commitment, dedication and hardcore guts are; I think
                                                      athletes are just freaks of nature and that's why they can slaughter me;
                                                      I don't consider that I'm actually fucking lazy and never made an athletic team;
                                                      I'd rather dismiss other people's efforts to become #1 in the world by claiming they do it
                                                      with luck, no brains and genetics.
                                                      Basically I'm bitter at super stars because they are not as smart as me because
                                                      I'm arrogant enough to be smarter than any athlete so athletes don't deserve the money they make the way that real estate agents and stock traders do".



                                                      Mayweather was training on fighting when you were shopping for bitcoin.
                                                      Mayweather stands where you can't stand because you never stood up to do the work.

                                                      Get over yourself.

                                                      Good luck.

                                                          There are also non-athletes that made an obscene amount of money by stealing content.
                                                          They all claim they made it by working harder.

                                                          Good luck.

                                                                                          And you're basing most of your argument (or insults) on the person you're a discussing the topic with; professional athletes and their pay. First thing you should learn when debating; don't target the person your are debating with because you are not address the real issue and it makes you look weak.

                                                                                          In short, we can agree to disagree. But I feel athletes, over the last 20 years, are TOTALLY fuck'n overpaid.

I would say in the grand scheme of things it much easy for him to make money than the average joe.

There are tons of people born with natural athletic ability but to actually make money from it and get to any sort of elite level, it takes a freakish amount of work and commitment.

                                                                                                      I really don't get this line of thinking. Elite athletes make the amounts they make because that's what the market value is for them, for their product. They generate a profit for the owners/promoters so why shouldn't they get their fair share.

                                                                                                                  And you're basing most of your argument (or insults) on the person you're a discussing the topic with; professional athletes and their pay. First thing you should learn when debating; don't target the person your are debating with because you are not address the real issue and it makes you look weak.

                                                                                                                  In short, we can agree to disagree. But I feel athletes, over the last 20 years, are TOTALLY fuck'n overpaid.
                                                                                                                  Sorry bro, the real issue is that you are jealous and have an "entitlement complex".

                                                                                                                  You have nothing to say about singers, comedians and actors making the same amount of money; because you think these people have talent and brains and athlete's don't.
                                                                                                                  Then you turn on the TV and watch a coked out actor who fucks porn stars make
                                                                                                                  $1.8 million PER EPISODE and you clap your hands and say he's winning.

                                                                                                                  So this is not a debate, it's just you hating athletes and me telling you the truth about it.

                                                                                                                  I don't expect you or anyone else who thinks like you to ever see it any other way;
                                                                                                                  but that's why your'e always last in line behind the athlete.
                                                                                                                  You don't know and wouldn't appreciate what the athlete did to get to the front of the line.

                                                                                                                  And finally you think you are smarter than the people who own the pro team, who cut the checks.
                                                                                                                  You don't give them credit for having enough brains to pay what they can afford to get what they want.
