Who cares how much they make? I never get why people cry about the money athletes make. It's not tax payer's money. That money is being generated by sales and interest in the event, whether it's a boxing match, hockey game, football, etc....If that money is being generated, the athletes should get most of it. Nobody's buying a ticket to see an owner own a team. They ripped off players for years and years while filling their pockets with the money generated by the players. Now, I'm glad the players get it. They are the "product". Look at college sports. Athletes are not allowed to take a penny from anyone, but the colleges are basically funded by their sports programs. Give the money to the athletes, it's theirs.
Funny, I never hear people complaining that Tom Cruise or some other actor got $20 million for a movie, and the same people that have no problem paying to see the latest stupid-ass Hollywood movie are the same people whining about the money athletes make. It makes no sense.
