Floyd Mayweather has congratulated Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi after it was revealed they were the highest-paid athletes of the decade.

American lifestyle magazine Forbes counted down the top ten richest athletes of the 2010s and the Money Man came WAY out on top.

The boxing icon, 42, earned an eye-watering £706MILLION ($915m) from his boxing career in the last ten years.
