They get paid so much because they bring in a lot of revenue to their respective clubs. Ticket, Jersey, and accessory sales etc..
Thank you , because some woke people don't understand that.
Like when people say that CR7 leaving Juve would help solve the money problem and same with Barcelona and Messi, they don’t know what they’re talking about.
@@El_Chucho_Bravo for cr7 yes they do! Cr7 only brought a lot lot of money when he first moved to juve but now that sales are suffering cause of COVID cr7 is causing juve a lot of wage problems
Still they are paid too much its not like they save lives
@@chriskouts4923 What is true is that the people who do save lives, and even those who don’t (ie, the ppl who do more physical work) should get payed more, but that does not mean that footballers don’t deserve the payment they get.
Seeing Lingard down there makes me sad

That thumbnail sums my frustration up perfectly, its not the fact that footballers get paid too much, they get paid that much because of how much money the clubs make, my problem is that people with jobs that are much harder and important than football get paid much much less, the government and pharmaceutical companies need to pay these people much more, they deserve much more.
You mean pursuing your passion is easy
They are rich because you guys are paying them to watch their matches
Being a doctor or engineer is guaranteed if u study 8 hours a day from your highschool life, but being a soccer player or an pro athlete is hard asf, only 1% make it to the top clubs in the world n their first team n the national team. The amount of work n dedication u have to put for the sport in order to succeed is inhuman, n don’t forget not all pro athletes get paid the same, if u go to USA, Asia, Africa n then even some South American countries, the lower professional league players earn only 50 to 70k a year. Even in Europe the lower division pro players get paid really low, don’t think that just cuz the biggest leagues in the world are on the spotlight so that means all the players make millions, only the players playing on the top leagues n national team gets paid like that, there are about 2000 professional lower league players in a country on average, everyone wants to be in the premier league, la liga, serie - A but only 1% make it.
@@FatinShadab I selected to the medical college from high school exam. In that exam only 1% can select to a medical school. And then as a first year medical student now I study 10-12 hours daily almost 7 days per week. I need to continue this hard work for 6,7 years to complete my degree and become qualified doc, now Im 20 yers old and I will be dedicating whole of my young age for studies. And after being a doc I only get paid 2000 dollers per month. Why my hard work isn't reworded enough or are we not working hard enough compared to these footballers. 😓
@@Ishowslow1234abc okay let's assume you are paid wayy more...who will pay you?? The people right?? The govt has to pay other people too ..so they won't increase your pay substantially..
So basically you want people to pay you 3x to 4x more for their medical treatment??
You do realise that people don't want to pay extremely high for medical treatment...you are basically turning medical sector into a buisness in that case...
So think , do you want helpless people to pay you way more to get treated?? Because I'm saying it again even the govt can't pay so much..
In simple words the football industry provides one of the biggest if not the biggest stage of entertainment

Oh my goal what a great series
They earn a lot because they are stars, and help the club earn even more. While regular jobs dont make their companies earn that much, so they are payed less. Simple.
ya
Its also much harder for someone to become a world class footballer than a doctor or lawyer hence why they get paid more
@@jondoe1571 so you think becoming a professional cardiac or neurosurgeon is an easy thing 😂😂army and medical jobs are one of the most toughest and highly stressed jobs in the world ....do you have any idea!!!....one has to die for country and other has to save life .....both are toughest ...ever looked at how commandos do training ....their training is even harder than sportspersons
@@RohitPatel-gr7cf The fact that there are more doctors ( a load more ) than great footballers is the reason why it’s a lot harder to become a footballer, for every Cavani, Buffon, Lucas Moura, Kostic ... there are thousands who have miserably failed. Selections in football are 100 times more ruthless then the ones in the army ( there are more people in army than there are great footballers)
For you dying for country is easy job 😂😂😂yeah ........it's your opinion by the way ....so no worry ....
it’s because both of them consistently performed at the top level for 12-13 years as compared to other players which aren’t consistent for more than 7-8 years at the top level , and both have individual honours and numbers on their side which are just unmatchable , and they played for the top 2 teams in the world
I'm a nurse I have to perform 100% otherwise somebody dies. Compared to a guy who kicks a ball
There is 1 CR7, there is 1 Messi to hole world they are once in generation, they inspire countless people, they give joy of happiness to countless people, how dare you if countless fans wish some love back to their their role model
you should learn how to spell first lol
Imagine a doctor saving your life and having a reason to live 😂😂😂😂 how the fuck would these players make me happy 😂 it’s just pathetic
To put it simply, it’s the amount the employers (clubs) are willing to pay. These footballers then earn that money back for their clubs through sponsorships and viewership etc. and if there was opportunity for another club to buy a player and potentially make more money than they sacrificed from the fee, then it would either get the existing club to increase salary so they stay (up until the point that they’re no longer making profit) or the footballer would leave. If someone argues they should be paid less, than that would work... until other parties immediately bring that price back up by offering their correct (and higher) values. It’s all demand and supply, so the best footballers attract the richest clubs.
Finally the video have been waiting for.

Great vid!
Thanks oh my goal, I used this videos for an Ethos pathos and logos project I gotta do for schooll
Anybody who knows anything about how free markets and economics work would know that somebody who is paid by a private employer, isn't over paid bc if they were the employer would prefer to keep their money. (Unlike in government jobs where beurocrats are overpaid for political reasons)

@Jones Skylery Well Said Big Man!
Why?Because they're famous and intellegent footballers that become world stars,also hard working,especially CR7 and M10.And by the way greetings from Vietnam
But for real alot of doctors and people also worked hard, in Vietnam alot of people have to sit in the farm and farm all day and football superstars just play a game that play, but I do agree that they do derserve it, but I think there are also alot people derserve it.
@@meomeo3476 yeah but thats just how the world works get used to at and stop crying
@@meomeo3476 First of all football is private company they generate own money for there players and Health is public sector the funds comes from goverment so if blame they are under paid in comparison to others blame your government not footballers

Also you have to realize that football is not a job that you can work in 8 hour shifts or "9 to 5". It is 7/24. On a regular job, you just occupy yourself during the work hours, after that, no one can disturb you, ask you something. Your mind is free of work. You can sit on your ass all day be lazy, eat pizza, play video games, go shopping. You can do whatever you want.
As a footballer though, you are responsible for every action you take even when outside the training and the games. What time you go to sleep, what do you eat, drink, what do you do in your free time. A high paid professional footballer cannot sit on coach for 4 hours and watch TV or play video games, he must stretch, take supplements, prepare meals, his gym bag, get massage if necessary, do additional physical work, plan his next day. It is a job that takes all of your time. Your life is your job.
In addition, retirement age is much younger than other professions. This means despite the fact you earn a lot of money (not in case of Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi but for an average good player), even if you earn 5-10.000 USD per month, you cannot just go and spend this money on stuff, since you have to keep collecting for retirement. You will have at least 25-30 years of life when you are still relatively a young person that have children and expenses.
Uncertainty. In a regular 9-5 job, people usually are sick and tired of their jobs. Their employers and managers usually want to keep them as long as it is possible, with some exceptional cases. In football however, you might earn shit tons of money one year and next year you might be without a club and never see that salary again until your retirement. It is high risk, high commitment and painful career. It is physically and emotionally demanding on extreme levels.
You will have to live abroad. You will not have the comfort of living where you were born and raised. You will have to part ways with your family and friends. You will miss birthdays, anniversaries, funerals. You wont be able to see loved ones for many months. And yes, being rich wont save you due to your busy schedule, you wont even have time and energy for a weekend fly. Even if you find, it will be considered irresponsible by the coach and media, they will judge you for such actions.
And after all, it is literally though. The 1.5 hour match is tip of the iceberg. The days spent under heavy rain and wind trying to train, being refused by teams, coaches, agents and trying over and over again is unseen on the TV.
When you consider all these, it is okay if couple of guys make millions of bucks and rest make slightly more than the average 9-5 job.
It makes sense that they get paid millions it isn’t just their work on the pitch it’s also what they generate for the club imo they getting paid what they deserve
This corona pandemic showed that they should invest in medical and scientific research more because these are the people who will actually save the world in future ....not any sports person or Hollywood actor or actress
The one with the effective vaccine is the one that saves the world, and will earn more than any footballer. The rest are reiteration puppets.
I selected to the medical college from high school exam. In that exam only 1% can select to a medical school. And then as a first year medical student now I study 10-12 hours daily almost 7 days per week. I need to continue this hard work for 6,7 years to complete my degree and become qualified doc, now Im 20 yers old and I will be dedicating whole of my young age for studies.

Because being a top footballer is more difficult than cracking neet

When kids of our society look at physicist and all scientist as the same way they look at actor actresses, sportspersons ....human civilization willl be on next level.....and that's the reason why you can get next messi or Ronaldo in next 100 years but it's rarely a chance you can get Albert Einstein , Nikola tesla , Newton
People adore Elon Musk m like they do Messi and Ronaldo.
Let's be honest, its more difficult to become a player with international career than a normal doctor. They are really few, and their career end up after 20 years.
@nisha nisha its actually vice versa everyone can get a degree to become a doctor but there are millions of people who has trained for so many years but still never became a elite footballer

Because they make so much money for the clubs. Football is a Big Business because we all love it.
Exactly 12 years ago a guy said
' If you are good at something never do it for free '
Same goes for your channel though

He makes money tho
Joker?
Stuff like this is the reason why ppl don’t know how business work. Football is more than just entertaining, it’s also business. The players, managers, scouts, trainers, coaches, Janitors, security, the club’s board Members and their wages, the stadium maintenance I don’t know if other countrieshave property tax or land value tax or corporation tax or building tax or whatever,
The cost of living, the economy, etc.
The question is: Where does our taxes go?
So, in America, PART of it goes to unemployment benefits so imagine yourself WORKING 9 to 5, receiving paychecks and paying taxes and YOUR tax dollars goes to a person that has no job and chose not to FIND A JOB and instead receive that money that YOU WORKED FOR.
I’m not saying all homeless ppl and all people that have no job are LAZY BUMS but I can’t assume that it’s 1% of those ppl that are lazy, it’s MORE than that.
I AGREE that health workers and public service workers that saved lives deserved higher wages. I’m not arguing against that. Im not saying millionaire and rich ppl should not pay taxes. I’m saying that you can’t trust the government responsible for your money.
That’s why rich ppl spend their money on BITCOIN, the stock market or CHARITY.
Would you be ok giving your tax dollars to a lazy bum that doesn’t want to work? It shows that what if YOU and other workers should stop working and receive these benefits too? Why bother working?
Let’s make rich ppl pay higher taxes so we shouldn’t work, right? Well, the QUESTION YOU SHOULD ASK YOURSELVES IS THIS: What if these rich ppl have enough and decide to leave the country and want to live in a cheaper country? where is our money now?
You understand why rich ppl are very important? You can’t tax them too much or else they will leave. YOU GUY NEED THEM TO STAY IN YOUR COUNTRY OR ELSE YOUR ECONOMY IS GONE. You ppl need to realize that.
The once who are highly paid are almost irreplaceable in their field and creme dela creme in their respective positions. They also generate lots revenue for their club while doctor do not generate revenue. Though their are some doctors who became billionaire/ millionaire by starting pharma company or hospital chain.
In science field there are lots of job which require more investment ..... scientific research require more investment.....doctors are frontline workers but behind them are the scientists which we even don't recognise because we are soo ignorant with our bloody mind that we don't want to accept ...that science is much more important for any society ....it's the science who made such huge development in sports
@@RohitPatel-gr7cf but who do you want to pay millions for science ? Fans buy jerseys and tickets so footballers get paid . But how much money do scientists bring in to the employers ? Are you financially illiterate . That same science is also destroying our society and causing pollution and climate change
@@bindutiwari4263 same science is used for developing football idiot....food nutrition ,surgeons all are the reasons why present generation of fottballers are playing after 30 also....

Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩.
Not even subbed and 6 mins early
They work most weekends. They miss weddings, parties, and family events. They have to be away from their families often. They borderline abuse their bodies for work. They can be fired for any or no reason at all, and one injury can be the end of it all. Most of them have sacrificed their childhoods to get where they are. Even after they stop playing, most of them can't have a normal life because people recognize them, and "fans" sometimes bully them and their families. If you ask me, they deserve every bit of what they make. I don't make $2,000 an hour, but I get to enjoy every weekend, my job rarely gets in the way of a family event, I never have to stay longer than I agreed to, I will get unemployment if I'm let go, and my job stops impeding on my life the moment I clock out.
It’s due to supply and demand. Not really cause off the time it takes
this superstar effect .. can change game .. from losing to winning .. when you see messi/ronaldo ..sub in.. you know you gonna lose..
The clubs make 2x more just in Jersey sale then all of their footballer's entire annual salary

Professional footballers at elite clubs have to work hard. It's not just a job, but a life style. You have to look after your diet, you have to go training, you travel very often, you can suffer many injuries during your career. Yes, some of them high salaries are justified.

No it's required actually to keep human race working why u want to be CEO of a big company or become a successful entrepreneur to earn more money
More money actually generates desire inside the people to work more if u will pay every body same amount then the desire to work more will be gone
And sports is much required for most young people nowadays because these things are mind relaxing if u will not pay them high then there will be no one taking these things seriously because these things are much demanding and takes much more time
Very good explanation
How do you measure hard work and it's purpose? Kicking a ball > Saving a life

Not only that i do think footballers have an impact on people gives them spirit in what they are battling in their life.for example if a person izz battling cancer.if he izz fav footballer izz ronaldo and he knows that ronaldo went through so much difficulties and obstacles in his career and he can dot it.That person would just have more fight in him battling cancer.
Oh my goal you really have to put ronaldo in thumbnail picture to gain viewers!!
Please I want to also make a CZcams channel but I have adopted some of your ideas ...can I go ahead ?...I need to ask this before it turns out to be copyright infringement 😂
Well..... Career Length is not quiet right. Cause when football player gets famous in 6-9 years; after that he (she) retire, he(she) could use the money to open their own business or advertising for brands to earn money.
It's fair to said that start-up with one million dollars is much more fancy than at your garage. And even when that they just earn 1/10 compare to their golden time - Well, .....1/10 of 20 millions is much much more better than average person can earn.
