I know what you’re saying, but those NBA players earning that much aren’t just average. Anyone earning that much money playing basketball is a top 50 player on planet Earth. In a perfect world Usain would be earning way more than them, but this not a perfect world. Also - calling them average is extremely disrespectful to their thousands of hours of hard work.
an NBA game during regular season has as much if not more viewings than the iaaf world championships, the more ppl watching means the more money even average players make. Bolt makes FAR more money than your average track and field athlete bc most ppl are more likely to watch a world championship or Olympics track and field if bolt is in there, no other track and field athlete is as popular as him
@@jamesb5705Well you can say that about everything. What's soccer? You just kick a ball and run around a field. Or what's skateboarding? You just stay on a bunch of wheels with a desk fixed above 'em and you jump or whatever the hell you do. But there are interesting aspects everywhere. In sprinting winning isn't a matter of strong legs or endurance,or just speed. You need to relax and don't try to run hard,apply force vertically,not horizontally. Your tactic matters more than your body's capabilities even when running 100m. All that stuff changes your view and you see athletes differently. For example I don't even know soccer rules and stuff,I know 3-4 players and I didn't like it until I realised the same thing applies to soccer as it does to track and field
He could have gotten more from sponsorship from bigger athletic companies,he however decided to remain with Puma who was with him from the beginning before he blew up
Imagine only getting $400,000 for dedicating the majority of your life to breaking a world record, meanwhile football athletes get paid millions for sitting on benches during games.
James Lewis likewise, football athletes dedicate their lives to become as best as they can and are at the spot they are in. You think they are making millions sitting on a bench. Just like bolt practicing hours and hours just to run a 10-20 second race, all athletes work their butts off.
Sadly, every sport gets paid according to popularity, though it makes sense. People make fun of WNBA players for wanting to get payed more, but they literally can't because the sport isn't nearly as popular as the actual NBA, and while that might be due to physical differences, they still work basically just as hard. Track and field has to be more popular for the athletes to get payed more, and sadly people would rather watch football and basketball.
James Lewis you cant compare football to track. I’m a big track fan, and I hate football, but they’re incomparable. The NFL makes a lot more money than the IAAF or diamond league. The NFL generates so much money, and it goes to the players because there’s some contract where teams share n% of the money that they generate with the players.
200k is an insult for setting the world record for the 100m dash- today’s glory event of track. Getting paid for 3 min of work. Yep. And the other 364days 23 hours and 57 minutes per year of preparation and praying you don’t get injured.
Are you crazy for a track athelete he was caning it. Theres normally very little money in Athletics..That's why the best black American talent ends up in the NBA and NFL. If Every talented black American took up sprinting. Theyd never be touched. And there would be 10 USAIN BOLTS in the U.S. It's the lack of MONEY in athletics that keeps them away.
@@fender1000100 An assumption that forgets that this is the same case in every sport, there are countless Bolts in Jamaica who didn't take up professional athletics.
what does that have to do with money. The better you are at things than anyone else in the world, the more money you get. He didn't get less money because he was Jamaican.

So happy to be Jamaican God bless our Land thank to this humble and respectful young man that help in putting our country in such a history for years to come, many young people will strive to accomplish what you achieve. May God bless you Usain Bolt.
Unfortunately for the new sprinters on the block, I think that Bolt is still going to be more popular than the next up and comers. He'll still get more endorsements than the next 100m winner in Olympics. He's that much of an icon. He's different, he's memorable and unique. An absolute legend
Dr Bolt is simply the best who throughly enjoys what he does....certainly he is underpaid for his hardwork in bringing back the love, credibility and interest in Track and Fields!!!!!!
Wow! I thought he was going to have crazy numbers!! He got mugged right off!! I think of the greatest sportsman of all time, Bolt is probably number one!!
When you are a White person. You get 3 times as more. Notice Simone Biles . If she was White. She would be full of money. She has done far more that any White American Gymnast has done. Yet where’s the Bag 💼. ? ? ?

Usain bolt: *earned $30,000,000 in under 3 mins* Jeff bezos: hold up, wait a minute, something ain't right Fact: Jeff bezos earns ~$420,000 every 3 mins
This is accurate. Highly under paid indeed. Especially when you consider the all of the views he commanded worldwide. He brought a new dynamic to the sport that was never there before.
deserves even more for the effort it takes to be world class, guys like Jesse Owens had to race horses and other animals even with a gold medal in the Olympics to earn money. That is a rough life but he paved the way for guys like Bolt.
TRP. Another great video. Just a couple of points though: The Olympics do NOT pay prize-money. So, Gold medal winners don't actually make anything. However, the national association of the Country the athlete represents often pay something. BUT Jamica AA is pretty much broke and I don't know how much the Island Government paid him. Where the individual athlete gets $ for Olympic performances (G,S,B) often comes as part of their main athletic gear sponsor as a bonus. So just winning Gold isn't enough. You have be be on a special contract from your main supplier (eg Puma) that has something written in about "Bonus" payments for certain results in big Games. There are plenty of Olympic Gold Medalists in the more obscure sports that make NOTHING except a small gratuity from their governing association. Often you can buy their medals in "Cash Converter" second-hand stores. Sad, but true.
They say he's the most underpaid track and field athlete in history in comparison to his skill. But I guarantee you if stories came out about Usain Bolt having money disputes with the track and field world and sponsors, he would have been vilified and called all sorts of names akin to greed and selfishness- that's the media for you. His net worth is rumoured to be $90 million so I guess his career was well compensated in the end.
@The Moon he shouldve found a bigger sport then. At the end of the day salaries are controlled by how popular the sport is. track earns a fraction of the money that bigger sports like football and basketball earn yearly. This is like the womens teams mad they dont make as much as the mens team. in reality of you took gross numbers of football as a whole and of track as a whole youd probably find that bolt earns a higher percentage of the entire gross wealth in track than your best football player earns.
No it's not well compensated he is among the Greats like Jordan, felps, mohamid Ali and other sports greats...ect he should have 500mill....check out their networths
I wouldn't say he deserved more, instead he deserved everything he earned. He worked for it, put time and passion into it and what he gained he by far deserved. It's not easy to do what he does, if you don't have the spark of passion he has, you won't have the opportunity to even reach near his potential.
You forgot to add in all the training and physio sessions plus the dieting and dedication to be able to perform that 3mins running time which pretty much equates to years
Proud jamaican here bolt brought the hype to track and field he literally made a guy like me who watching football/soccer for some sit and watch him ran it was spicy the way we saw the first biggest rivalry between him and gsy and him and Gatlin bolt deserves more if it wasnt for him that sport wouldn't even be hype
Please make a request without mentioning instead of bolt you sound stupid respect greatness when you see it.. if you want a video of Eliud kipchoge find but don't talk about instead of bolt this video is about bolt
its crazy coz we still think usain bolt gets underpaid even though his fortune is like $100m. Dont get me wrong i still think hes getting underpaid for what he has done but think about athletes such as mo farah and allyson felix their net worth is like 5 to 7 million!!! as a whole track stars do not get paid near the amount they deserve
ultimately it isnt about what they deserve. its about what brings in money. As a whole track and field brings in a fraction of what other sports bring in yearly. If a company is only making 100k they arent going to pay an athlete 50k. in turn if that company makes 100million there much more likely to pay the athlete 50k.
One of the biggest successes out of all this is for puma, who was ever negotiating with Bolt's team did a good job in retaining him and not letting Nike or adidas snatch him up
Not bad for 3 days of work? This man has been training his whole damn life for those 3 days. And money is not everything because when he had nothing puma sponsored him and when he broke record Nike tried to buy him out of the contract and he rejected the money deciding to settle for less because he wanted to be loyal. U should have talked about that. Alot of people would opt out for bigger money but he stayed loyal to the sponsor that saw potential in him when he was broke. life is all about money and for him to do something like this shows his character.
