Do the footbal players in the UK and Europe get the same
40-50 million dollar contracts as the best baseball or basket ball players do here?

Also, has the cost of going to a game become ridiculously high in the UK. (It can cost $300-$500 or more to get a really good seat at a Boston Redsox game. Seats in the nosebleed part of the upper bleachers can cost $50 if can actually get one).

not quite that high, for most
but I think some have reached those heights. in real money though, not dollars.

I have no idea obout the price of a match - I've never been to one.
But elite players can easily fetch transfer prices in the tens of millions.

Not bad for not having been to school since the age of 12.

Probably not that high
But anything up to £100,000 a week has been known to be paid for a 'top' player who then breaks something not long after signing for a club, but continues to get paid it anyway for sitting in the treatment room over the next six months.

You could hover to see the reference. I did think about going for the double, but didn't.
