This is pretty interesting... Forbes dropped this transitional video of the world's highest-paid athletes from 1990 until now.

Awesome visual! Quite a few non exhaustive comments: - No women… - Boxers omnipresent throughout (esp at the beginning) - Some leagues unrepresented (NHL, MLS pre-Messi) - Some notable legends of their sports not showing (Agassi but no Sampras, Federer, but no Djokovic - and barely Nadal, etc.) - So many sport legends not represented (Phelps, Biles - Olympians in general) Conclusion from those 34+ years: might as well do one/two fights a year than 80+ basketball games, 20+ football games (assuming you go to SB), 162+ baseball games, etc.
Fascinating, thanks for posting. The things that strike me are the changing generations of sports, from boxings domination to football, golf’s been there as pretty consistent and of course the lack of women, or was it based only on men’s sport?
Wow, what a shame, no women?
I wonder if its because Floyd Mayweather was carrying the sport of boxing with his fights, or maybe he is just that charismatic? Is there really a demand for boxing? the amount he accumulated in the 2010's is really staggering.
Nancy Hensley called this out … zero women’s athletes.
It’s really a shame how underpaid female athletes are. There have been so many greats with lasting name recognition for being the best in the world and with impressive Individual impacts on their respective sports.
Biggest takeaways? The increasing global influence of sport (and thus the overall marketable fan base.)
Love these visual, over time views! Thanks for sharing. Themes: No female athletes Increasingly international Better mix of team and individual sports
