Pros Would Pay to See - Aaron Snyder
The top five athletes that other athletes from the big three sports (NFL, NBA, MLB) would of paid $1,000 to see almost ten years ago included Tiger Woods, Barry Bonds, Shaquille O'Neal, Mike Vick, and Serena Williams. That list will obvisouly be different now as both Barry and Shaq are both retired and Vick doesnt even start for the Eagles anymore. If I were to take a guess, I would probably think most pro athletes would pay to see LeBron James just because he just dominates the league along side partner in crime Dwayne Wade. Another pro basketball player that I think would crack the top five would be Kevin Durant. Durant is probably the best pure scorer in the NBA today as he has won back-to-back-to-back scoring titles. A player from the MLB that I think would crack the top five is the reigning triple crown winner, Miguel Cabrera. I think he would get in there just because he just put up one of the best seasons for a hitter in awhile. A player from the NFL that I think would crack the top five, also the guy I picked I would pay to go see, the best Quarterback in the NFL today, Super Bowl MVP, the guy that holds regular season passer rating record, postseason passer rating record, single season passer rating record, last years MVP, Aaron Rodgers. I think he's the best player in the game today as he has no running game to help him and a terrible, terrible defense, and I feel as if others would agree with me too, so I believe he would crack the top five. My last player that I think would crack the top five is a guy younger than me, reigning Heisman winner, Johnny Manziel. I just feel after the Alabama game, he has turned into one of the most exciting players in college football. I also feel that Tiger Woods and Serena Williams could still be on the list, as well as Brittany Griner could be as well, Ray Lewis if he wasn't retiring, Calvin Johnson, Adrian Peterson, Messi, and maybe even Dwight Howard.

Aaron, I agree with you that most pro athletes would pay to see LeBron James because of his style of play and the way he dominates a game. I believe not only do athletes like to see dominance in sport but also they like to see excitement. For example when you mention Johnny Manziel, obviously he has a ton of skill, however, do you think they would pay to see him dominate or do you think they would pay to see the excitement from him running around and making crazy plays that you only see in video games? I also agree with the athletes you have picked that pros would pay to see.
