  /  Stamfordblue

The representative of Cristiano Ronaldo, Radamel Falcao and Angel Di Maria has been named second in Forbes' list behind Major League Baseball's agent Scott Bora


Forbes estimate that the 49-year-old, who also represents Radamel Falcao, Angel Di Maria and James Rodriguez has earned $95.6 million (£62.7m) in commissions, while his agency Gestifute has negotiated contracts worth a combined total of $956.4m (£627.7m).

But those figures are beaten by Scott Boras, who has earned $117.1m (£76.8m) in commission from his contract negotiations in Major League Baseball and tops Forbes’ current list. 

Boras’ company represent the likes of Texas Rangers’ Prince Fielder and New York Yankees centre-fielder Jacoby Ellsbury, and hold around $2.3 billion in active player contracts.
