年全球運動員收入榜單 C羅6100萬英鎊奪冠

Cristiano Ronaldo, the superstar footballer who earned 61 million pound last year, usurped long-term leader Floyd Mayweather Jnr into first place. The retired boxer, who fought just once in the last 12 months, earned pound 30 million.

克里斯蒂亞諾·羅納爾多，這位去年收入6100萬英鎊的超級足球明星，取代了長期佔據榜首的弗洛伊德·梅威瑟，成爲了去年收入最高的運動員。小梅瑟威是一名退役拳擊手，他最近一年只打了一場拳賽，掙了3000萬英鎊。

Ronaldo's monster pay-packet was the result of his eye-watering pound 38.5 million-a-year salary with Spanish giants Real Madrid and endorsement deals with the likes of Nike, watchmaker Tag Heuer and nutrition supplements group Herbalife - themselves worth pound 22 million.

C羅巨無霸般的收入主要來源於兩部分。一部分是他效力於西班牙豪門皇家馬德里掙得的令人眼紅的3850萬英鎊的年薪。另一部分來源於他爲耐克、豪雅表和營養品公司康寶萊代言帶來的總計2200萬英鎊的代言費。

His footballing rival Lionel Messi - who the 31-year-old beat to be crowned the World Player of the Year in January - was second on the list, taking home pound 56 million in 2015/16.

31歲的C羅的足球圈中的死敵、今年一月擊敗其榮膺世界足球先生的里奧·梅西在2015-2016年度收入5600萬英鎊，位居第二。

It is the first time since 2001 that an athlete other than Mayweather Jnr or golfer Tiger Woods topped the earning league.

這是自從2001年來第一次由一名既不是小梅瑟威、也不是泰格·伍茲的運動員，榮登收入榜第一名。

Former world number one Woods has not won a single tournament since 2013 and missed most of the last year recovering from surgery on his back. However, his name alone continued to bank him millions. He earned pound 31 million from endorsement deals with brands including Nike and Titleist, placing him 12th in the list of top earners.

自從2013年以來，前世界第一的泰格·伍茲沒有贏過一次錦標賽，由於處於背部手術康復期，他也錯過了去年的大部分比賽。但是，單單是泰格·伍茲的名號就能夠使他賺得盆滿鉢滿了。通過爲耐克和泰特利斯等品牌代言，泰格·伍茲去年賺了3100萬英鎊，位居榜單第12位。

Mayweather Jnr - who is capable of demanding pound 70 million a fight - fell to 16th. He pocketed pound 20 million in ring fees with an additional pound 5 million coming mostly from his clothing brand TMT, The Money Team.

梅瑟威一場拳賽的要價可以高達7000萬英鎊，但是他去年的收入只排在榜單上位居第16位。去年梅瑟威的拳賽收入達到了2000萬英鎊，此外他的服裝品牌TMT（The Money Team）也給他貢獻了500萬英鎊。

Hanging on the coat tails of Ronaldo and Messi are NBA star LeBron James (pound 53 million) and tennis player Roger Federer (pound 46 million).

在這份榜單上，名列C羅和梅西之後的是NBA球星勒布朗·詹姆斯（5300萬英鎊）和網球運動員羅傑·費德勒（4600萬英鎊）。

Despite relatively low comparative competition earnings and salary, the pair were the two highest earners in regards to endorsement deals last year, with 17-time Grand Slam champion Federer earning pound 41 million.

儘管詹姆斯和費德勒在工資和薪水上要少一些（相比於C羅和梅西），但是這兩人去年的代言費是最高的，其中17次大滿貫得主費德勒去年代言收入達到了4100萬英鎊。

Ronaldo and Messi are the only football players in the top 20, which also features no women.

在這份榜單的前二十人中，C羅和梅西是僅有的兩名足球運動員，此外，這份榜單上也沒有任何女性運動員入圍。
