Why do football players do not earn as much as a basketball player?

Basketball has a roster of only 15 players, while football has rosters of 53 athletes. Therefore, the pay has to be split among more players. Football also has only one "star" position that garners a lot of attention and generates large contracts: quarterback. In basketball, any of the five position players could be worthy of max contracts due to the nature of the game.
Each sport also has different collective bargaining agreements between the player unions and the respective owner's associations.

Not alot, sadly, The funding in Basketball isn't that big in this country, the average you can earn is £500, so, yeah, if you want to earn thousands, go to Spain or a Turkish Airlines country like Turkey, Italy or Greece, those Country pay alot for Basketball. Want to earn as much as NBA Players do, go to Australasia or Canada, those leagues pay alot.
