what would it be??

personally, i would have to say golf. payouts are good and there is minimal wear and tear on the body, which assists with my skiing years. and besides, golf is AWESOME.

if that fails, i wouldnt mind being tanner hall either lol

Chuck probably pulls in a lot with sponsorships and shit though.  And then a lot of big fighters have their own gyms, there's more money.  Big John McCarthy's gym is in my town and he must make bank off that, so many fucking people go there.  And he's not even a fighter.

bench warmer for the LA Clippers, you'll never play, and nobody expects you to be good anyway, yet you still make a couple hundred thousand a year, not bad

Yeah but in perspective to say the best Football players who make what, 5mil+ a year from contract alone it's pretty low. Not to mention MMA fighting is MUCH more demanding.

the mlb for sure because if you are good...your contract will be off the hook...but you gotta play a position like short stop/center field/third base and be able to drop 30 home runs a season...you'll be lookin at a 7 year 100 million dollar deal right there...then add that to all your endorsements.

and if not that...golf is where its at or how about poker? shits broadcast on espn like its a sport and if you win you get a bad ass gold/diamond bracelet that is worth about what you win which is like a 1.7 mill or something for doing relativly nothing.

Yeah but it would be worth it for cool factor and the satisfaction of knowing that you kick people's asses for a living.  And it is still a lot of money.
