Man Hold Up!–  Floyd Mayweather has been named the “world’s highest-paid celebrity” by “Forbes.”  The boxer has earned the number one spot on the magazine’s annual list, thanks to the 300-million dollar payday from his match against Manny Pacquiao last month.  Pacquiao may have lost the fight, but he’s still runner-up on the “Forbes” tally with an annual income of 160-million.  The two athletes are followed by pop star Katy Perry, British boy band One Direction and radio personality Howard Stern.  Taylor Swift, Rush Limbaugh, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robert Downey Jr. also made the top ten.
