For the first time in eight years, no woman feature on Forbes’ list of the world’s 100 highest-earning sports stars — a list topped by retired boxer Floyd Mayweather.

Since the magazine expanded its list in 2010, at least one female star has always made the cut. Tennis player Serena Williams was the sole female representative last year, coming in at 51st.
Though a number of sports tournaments now pay men and women equal prize money — in 1973 not one sport rewarded both genders equally — this year’s list starkly highlights that the pace of change is slow and a huge disparity remains.

Having not played much in the last 12 months owing to pregnancy and maternity leave, Williams’ off-court earnings of $18 million (£13.4m) was not enough to make 2018’s top 100. Charlotte Hornets’ Nicholas Batum was ranked No. 100 with $22.9 million (£17.06m).
Tennis players Maria Sharapova and Li Na have been named on the list in recent years, but Sharapova’s absence from the sport because of a drugs ban and Li’s retirement in 2014 means they no longer feature.

Report shows that on endorsements alone Williams would be ranked in the top indicating that “Serena is still killing it off the court”.
She’s more popular than ever with corporate sponsors. It is believed she banked $18 million with those partners who she still continues to be engaged with, whether it’s IBM, Nike, Wilson, so she does a lot off the court.
Her endorsement earnings would put her up in the top 10 in the world. She just hasn’t any prize money to go with that. A lot of persons expect once Serena is back on the court and raking up those millions in prize money we’ll see her back on the list next year.”
