Floyd Mayweather has failed to make the Forbes Hot 100 Money List for the second successive year as rival Manny Pacquiao slips further.
Mayweather, who was ranked number one for many years, has fought less and less over the past two years.
Earning just over $9,000,000 in 2018 for a New Year’s Eve exhibition clash with Tenshin Nasukaawa, Mayweather had no chance of being in the shake-up.
For Pacquiao, a comeback triumph over Lucas Matthysse wasn’t enough to push the Filipino Congressman into the Top 90.
With a win over Adrien Broner behind him, and a battle with Keith Thurman lined up in 2019, Pacquiao should receive a boost next year.
Canelo is back on top following his massive deal with DAZN. Anthony Joshua, who was boxing’s top earner in 2018, drops considerably.
Deontay Wilder and Gennadiy Golovkin are the only other two boxers involved in the century of athletes.
