1. I didn't see Phil Heath on the list.
2. Why is Matthew Stafford the highest paid NFL player..the Rookie scale thing needs to be in place asap
3. No NHL or MLS player
4. No MMA athlete made the list.
5. AROD made close to zero from endorsement, clearly his star has fallen
6. Tom Brady should be on that list.
7. Michael Jordan qualifies for the list except that he is retired.
8. No NFL running back will ever make this list.
9. I wonder if Usain Bolt would make the last if he was American.
10. AJ Burnett sucks

Good list. I figured at least Rampage, Brock,Dex or Jay would be on there ::) ;D
Clearly a wake up call for all the MMA and BBing fan boys.
well... bb is a ... gay parade, but thankfully I did look into bodybuilding only for ONE reason. I know ALOT about nutrition and training... maby more than some scholarships who write 1000000 pages how to take protein in the morning and night ::)... bodybuilding has given me great knowledge about vitamins, proteins, carbs, recovery, over training, blablabla....
other than that it's gross....
mma? interesting to watch... but I'd rather watch balley or gymnastics... unless it's brock lesnar/rampage/rashad... other than that, meh.
embrace it for what it is...
MMA is a Very VERY new sport (as in when people started to notice it) so its no wonder at all why no mma guy is there.. Within a few years there will be though.
And what do you mean BB fanboys? did anyone claim that any bodybuilder would make that list? ??? I dont recall anyone claiming such a thing? or are you just talking out of your ass?
LOL no they wont! If anything that "sport" is on it's way down the tubes.
Another list I haven't made. :'(
why do people even bother posting about stuff they dont have a clue about?
Im not even gonna bother explaining.
saying something is going down the tubes without any sign of decline at all But a Massive sign of its getter bigger.....
only on getbig.
I like you little brother Swede so I will explain to you why it is a joke and will not last.
Every other sport represented (other than nascar) on the top 10 list off athletes is either:
1) An NCAA sport- basketball, baseball, golf, football,
2) An Olympic Sport- Boxing
MMA is a rag tag bunch of misfits who couldn't cut it in boxing, football, or wrestling. Typically guys with a chip on their shoulder. They still have "something to prove" They literally "support" the industry not only as participants but also fans (such as you).
Take a moment and think of the type guys you see wearing tap out and monarchy shit. Shaved heads, go-tees, juiced up, no college degres, low level jobs ( if any).
Boxing , even though on the decline still is in a totally diff galaxy with reguards to the size of purse offered to fighters.
Hope this clears things up.

Leave it to Dan Snyder to have multiple players on that list (Haynesworth and Hall).....fuckin' Skins!! If that list was to include international athletes, I wonder where Federer, Ronaldo, Beckham, etc. would be?
You will never see an MMA athlete anywhere near a list like this.....ever.
I was thinking the same...add to that, Lewis Hamilton.
I'm gonna make a list of Getbiggers who've never been in a Getbig list - will give you a top 3 slot ;D
Another key component is that the MMA fan boys will take it VERY PERSONAL if you make a dig on MMA. For what ever reason they get very offended.
Obervations1Mike tyson had surpassed Micheal jordan in 1996

No its a bunch of fucking nonsene from someone who apparently knows nothing and havent watched mma at all because hey "its gay"
So show me PROOF of the decline you're so sure of? doesn't matter who the fucking fans are as long as there are FANS.
UFC has sold out every arena they have Ever been in. Big PPV rating on every damn show. Going from nothing to a billion dollars company within a few years.
So once again, show me some PROOF not your "expert opinions" about the fans and the fighters which you klnow nothing about ??? ???
...oh thats right you cant. which proved once again that Im right.
I dont know why I bother
"MMA is a rag tag bunch of misfits who couldn't cut it in boxing, football, or wrestling."
Maby the olympic wrestlers and olympic alternatives in UFC might DISSAGREE?!?! OOps did I just prove you Complety 100% wrong?! considiring peopel that have wrestled at the olympic level is the best in the world yes? dumbass
just stop. ...its even the fastest growing sport in america today. Look it up and then shut your mouth again.
you're the typical Know nothing but claim to know everything mma expert that hasn't even watched a single fight. We have alot guys like you on getbig sadly.
and this is the last explination Im gonna bother doing. Because discussion mma with someone who doesn't know anything At all is just plain pointless.
MMA is the new professional wrestling, it is what it is and will never be huge the way you think it will.
You seriously think Brock Lesnar is going to be on a box of Wheaties someday, or selling Gillette razors??
If you do you are an idiot.
you mean the thing that was more popular then almost Any sport at one time?
well wanderlie has been festured in a shitload of different razor commercials in japan So Im guessing that means ...you're the retard. (even if its not gilette)
and when did I claim its gonna be on fucking serials? lol.
Its going to be a huge sport though. Just look at the numbers and growth rate of it and see for yourself. Its gonna take a while though the sport as we know it has only been around for a FEW years.
You think wrestling was more popular than any other sport???....LOLOLOLOL
Maybe with 12 year olds and closeted short guys from Sweden.
Don't give a fuck about Japan....lots of stars go there and shill stuff for money, it's a different culture. Talking about the States
MMA is about as popular as it's going to be...it's "here" now. It had it's growth spurt and that's it.
American football is the biggest sport in the states.mma will never be close.
how many years have that been around?
whats the point in talking about mma ONLY in the states? ??? typical american behaviour lol.
wrestlemania when hulk hogan faced andre had 94k people precent. How many other event have had that at that time? or even the years to follow? =)
Any basketball match with 94k people precent? boxing matches?
and look at my post again ant notice the "almost" maby you missed it
Yes..wrestling was "hot" about 15 years ago, and it has cooled off considerably. it's back on cable drawing So-So numbers where it belongs
MMA has come into the mainstream and had a big upswing...but that won't go on forever. it will level off. That's how it works in the entertainment biz.
I'm not saying MMA isn't here to stay....it is, but if you think it's going to be a as popular as baseball or the NFL you are fucking high.
yes, I wasn't talking about wrestling today..
you cannot compare MMA to soemthing thats been around as long at nfl ans baseball has bro..
It will never catch up to those ofc In the states. It has the potential to become pretty fuckigng big though, as seen in japan where people Appriciate MMA and Knows stuff about it.. and its huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge there.
but yeah, you only wanted to talk about usa. Im talking about it as a Whole =)
Fuck Japan...weird little fuckers. You do fit right in over there ;D
