The first time basketball players got paid was in 1896
a lot. hahaha well it depends on how good you do play, but i guess its a well-paid job.
they get paid depending on how many tournaments they play in and how well they play in those tournaments. The average salary for a LPGA player is $35,337.32!!!!!!!!
i say soccer players cause they pay even for thier medical reasons and hockey does not and soccer gets paid because we play the whole year nonstop and we get paid everyday and more if they score
In most Professional sports like rugby, football, basketball, tennis the players get paid And in some cases A LOT!
It really depends on who on which team. Some team have higher salaries otherwise have minium cost. Esitimate MIN-$700,000 to 40,000,000-MAX
Players have all their expenses paid by their Federation.
Soccer players are paid different rates depending on the team and league that they play for, and the country that they live in.
a year... yes!!! but in a week the highest player gets paid, i think, £200,000 which is bloody loads!!! Lots more than rugby players do but then again rugby players don't play for the money, they play for the passion of playing for club and country, unlike footballers!!!
Well it depends what sport you are talking about. Most professional sports players get paid between 1million and 2millions dollars per year.
