Props to Peyton Manning Making 15 million in College as a freshman, they don't pay them like that anymore

[@jonathanhill2703]

Same for Phil Mickelson as a sophomore.

[@juhovirtanen6869]

No way Schumacher made 12m a year in 1990 and also Räikkönen didn't make 23m in 2001. He was a rookie and Schumacher hadn't even started his F1 career

There's something called 'Before he went to F1'

@@fish2962 before F1 drivers usualy pay to drive in smaller series so they get noticed to get a seat in F1. Some have sponsors that pay for their seat a bit to the driver but the goal is to get to F1 to make any serious money. The stats are BS

[@90pdr]

lol it is definitely wrong. Benetton paid around $600k to snatch him out of Jordan in 1991, so no way he was getting millions of dollars in the previous year in a category that generates far less money compared to f1.

I don't get how boxers get paid this much. I live in Europe and boxing isn't that popular here. Maybe it has so much money in the US?

[@jonathanhill2703]

Data is terribly low quality. I think you should take the video down and redo it. I'd be embarrassed.

[@albertorivera4485]

The data of certain athletes is extremely bad, I mean, not the figures but the dates, Michael Schumacher had not won more than 10 million in 1992, Manning was still in college in the 90's and not even in dreams do they pay, Räikkönen also didn't make that amount of money en 2001 and so on.

Sad how there’s zero women on this list

[@Reaghan08-zr7li]

Bro how. Blame it on the people who rather watch male sports over female. If you didn’t know the more views = the more money. If hardly anyone watches female sports then they will make very little money 💵

[@ZEROCARTOO]

Sports is mainly about physical strength, so thats why men are superior and will get more money due to their better performance and interested audience

[@zakir2815]

Why is it sad. I seem to notice the higher ability leads to higher pay. Since the women simply cannot compete with male athletes it fits that they aren't on this list.

[@KBP120]

Even sadder that you're a man saying that. At least be a woman.
