How the hell is Klinsmann in that list?

And I'm surprised Beckham doesn't top the list. Didn't he sign the most lucrative deal in sports history with LA Galaxy?

I believe his basic salary is more than Messi's, but Messi has him beat if you include the sponsors and bonuses...

[Pajo]

Yeah, they count everything, not just the salary.. Bonuses, commercials, and so on...

I can't believe that either. I mean, Messi is on another planet yes but he's short, small and ugly.

Beckham on the other hand, is the epitome of a media whore.

Lol well I didn't make up the numbers, its all over the news. Messi has in fact overtaken Beckham...

[Handoyo]
