It kind of depends on how famous they are and when they started. Lets say they started a millenia agon (One hundred centuries) and they were the most famous bull fighter in the universe, then they could have received at least fifty thousand contracts of bull fight!

Since the modern bullfight came into existence in 1726 there have been about 40 deaths in the bullring. This includes only full-fledged matadors, not novilleros, banderillerosor picadores.
Since the current style of bullfighting came into being in about 1726 about 40 matadors total have died in the ring. This does not include banderilleros, picadores or novilleros. That is much less than one per year.
Nearly every matador will be injured each year from tossings that may result in broken bones and abrasions to gorings that are the most serious injuries and can end a matador's career or, at the very least, keep him from practicing his profession for several months. There are really no statistics that would tell the full story.
