"Show me the money!", the phrase made famous by Tom Cruise and Cuba Gooding, Jr. in the 1996 movie Jerry Maguire may have been in the minds of the people behind ESPN Magazine when they decided to focus on the amount of dough an elite athlete makes in a year.
The May 2011 edition of ESPN Magazine features Filipino boxing superstar Manny Pacquiao with the NY Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and Swiss tennis great Roger Federer on its cover.
The Pacman and A-Rod head the all- star list in the magazine's "Best- paid athletes in 30 sports" with both athletes taking home $32,000,000 last year.
Race car driver Kimi Raikkonen (26,333,333), the LA Lakers guard Kobe Bryant (24,800,000) and Real Madrid forward Christiano Ronaldo (19,500,000) round up the top five highest- paid athletes of 2010.
