Boxer Floyd Mayweather has been named the highest paid sportsperson in the world over the last 12 months.
Figures released by business magazine Forbes showed that the undefeated American has earned a whooping US$300m (£194m).
Most of that came from his ‘super-fight’ with Manny Pacquiao, whose $160m (£103.4m) takings made him the second-highest earner.
In a distant third place was Real Madrid and Portuguese super star forward Cristiano Ronaldo with $79.6m (£51.4m)
The figures include salaries, bonuses, prize money and appearance fees, plus estimates of endorsement income for the past 12 months.
A surprise inclusion in the top 10 was American golfer and former world number Tiger Woods who has struggled to regain his top form for almost 2 years now. He made at number 9 with his $50.6m (£32.7m) worth of endorsements. The American earned just $600,000 (£387,000) in winnings because of injury and poor form.
Top 10:
Floyd Mayweather, US, Boxing = US$300m (£194m).
Manny Pacquiao, Philippines, Boxing = $160m (£103.4m)
Cristiano Ronaldo, Portugal, Football = $79.6m (£51.4m)
Lionel Messi, Argentina, Football = $73.8m (£47.7m)
Roger Federer, Switzerland, Tennis = $67m (£43.3m)

Kim & Kanye Not Heading South … With New Baby Name
June 09, 2015 • by http://www.facebook.com/582202551
Celebrity couple Kim Kardashian and Kanye West will not be consulting the compass when naming their second child sources close to the couple have revealed.
Speculations have been rift that the power couple would do a sequel to their first child –NORTH WEST.
It is however believed that the couple decided they waned the name to be strong. With North, there was a power element because it’s always on top, or pointing up. The other 3 just don’t have that swagger
The baby is expected in December so that gives the couple ample time to decide on a name for the coming bundle of joy.

Miley Cyrus Is Naked And Hugging a Pig On The Cover of PAPER Magazine

22-year-old singer, Miley Cyrus posed naked while cuddling up with her pet pig Bubba Sue and covered in body paint for the latest issue of the Paper magazine. And while the cover is intended to ensure a crowded newspaper, it’s all to promote her new foundation, Happy Hippie.
Kim Kardashian attempted to ‘break the internet’ with her revealing cover back in November for the cover of the same magazine but Miley might just have outdone the reality TV superstar.
The decision to use Cyrus as cover for their “Use Your Voice” summer music issue was informed by her perception as an alternative feminist figurehead who has also helped teach young women and men that they don’t have to — and shouldn’t — conform to society’s expectations
