Fancy earning $342 per minute? Just become the world's highest-paid athlete. Simple. Meanwhile, is that *really* David Seaman's autograph?
SOCCER: Mikel Arteta wasn't too happy at the suggestion that his players aren't performing for him at the moment.

MIXED MARTIAL ARTS: Just the, *gets calculator out*, $3,461,000 (ish) per week for Conor McGregor in the past year. Not bad for someone who fought twice in that time, while taking retirement in between.

SOCCER: Atletico Madrid took a MASSIVE step towards winning La Liga by beating Real Sociedad, which has probably been the craziest title battle in Europe this season.
Side note, it was also Koke's 500th game for the club. Who doesn't love a homegrown success story for a boyhood fan?
TENNIS: She may have lost, but Serena Williams brought up an incredible sporting landmark on Wednesday. Strange choice of music from her coach here, though.
Chained to the rhythm. 🥁
