If appearing on Dancing with the Stars and starring in an HBO reality show aren’t enough, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. grabs an additional bit of spotlight by taking number one on the Top Sports chart.
Major League Baseball drops out of the rankings with the regular season winding to a close. As teams begin to clinch playoff spots, post-season ticket sales should give the clubs a chance to break back into the top events.
