Everyone except Lebron James. In fact you could not pay me money, to waste my time seeing him.

No one. Major league sports are way too overpriced. Doesn't mean I wouldn't go, but not just for one person.

If someone gave you $500 and paid for everything you wouldn't go watch LeBron? Ok

Good call on RG3 Ironman I would add him tomy list as well. I saw Vick last year and was disappointed in his performance against the Browns but a few years ago he was at the top of my list.

Regularly pay to see Verlander, Cabrera, Fielder and Scherzer. Cabrera is unreal at the plate

NFL:
Nobody. My uncle and cousin have Lion season tickets so I usually go to one game with them per year. But that is free. Otherwise...I would rather go to bar and watch all the games or sit at home and watch Redzone. Too many things going on between gambling and fantasy to sit in a stadium.
NBA:
LeBron- Cleveland days
Kobe
Shaq
Kyrie
Steph Curry
Kevin Love
Duncan, Parker, Ginobili
Baseball:
I love watching great starters in their prime or guys having great years pitch. So this list would be long and constantly changing. The only reason I would solely go to a game to watch a hitter without any other interest in the game would be if the guy was closing in on some type of record.

Even tho I am a steelers fan, I paid to see Peyton manning last year in Cincy. In baseball, It would probably only be a starting pitcher that I would pay to watch.

Floyd Mayweather.
I go to sporting events in my area but not to see someone specific. He might be the only athlete i'd go out of my way to pay and see.

It'd be awesome to be in the crowd if he lost, which is definitely worth the price. I'd also pay to see Tyson in his prime.

Back in the day I woulda paid to watch Sidd Finch pitch, I heard he could really bring it. Think he signed for one day with the Mets but decided to do other things. From what the scouts said, he made Chapman's fastball look like little league in comparison

Cabrera sucks. If the Tigers played in a real division against MLB pitchers he'd hit .225.

Sickest lineup in history of MLB. I cant imagine how good they'd be if they had a real hitter in the 3 hole.
