Salary/Winnings: $148m Endorsements: $12m Despite losing the 'Fight of the Century', Manny Pacquiao scooped a large enough purse to easily outstrip almost every other athlete on this list. The monstrously-hyped bout took place on May 2nd, and despite losing by unanimous judges' decision, the Filipino earned a gigantic $125m paycheque. His winnings total for 2015 also includes a $23m purse carried over from his November 2014 fight with Chris Algieri. Mentioning Pacquiao's endorsement deals seems almost redundant, as he would have earned this place on the list without any at all. However, for the sake of completion, it's worth noting his partnerships with a number of brands, including Nike, Foot Locker, and even Nestle's Butterfinger.
