According to today's Wall Street Journal:
Alejandro Valverde $4 million
Cadel Evans $3.4 million
Frank Schleck $1 million
Slyvain Chavenel $1 million
Christian Vande Velde $500,000 (someone is getting a big raise soon)
Average support rider: $200,000- $300,000 (but as little as $45k)
Pay for top 3 finishing riders of TdF will be about half what Armstrong, Basso and Ulrich made in 2005.
Average budget for top-pro cycling team: $15M - $23M (with 60-80% going to riders)
Garmin-Chipolte budget: $11 million
CSC does not pay rider bonuses for winning a stage or tour. (Others pay $50,000 or up to $1 million for winning the Tour)
TdF pays the winner $700,000 (it is usually split among the team)
(Not much, but cycling tours don't have ticket sales to support payouts.)
Sh$@ it doesnt really matter
The industry's capitalization is about a billion dollar a year.
to be honest gt biek frames suck, their company is just poor and they need money for their thirty pound frames. that is why they are about 300 dollars and 800 for a complete bike get a premium if you are looking for a good bmx company
The bmx company wethepeople
Apollo bmx bikes are not the best, but if you're just starting off they're ok. However, if you're at a decent level of bmx and you have the money, you might want to go for a wethepeople, hoffman, mongoose, archos, mafia, haro, or even make your own custom bmx
Amateurs don't get a salary for what they do, that's pretty much the definition of amateur.
No single answer, depends on how much money you want to spend and what kind of riding you want to do.
There is defiantly money in BMX from sponsor's, competitions etc. But to be able to do this you must be EXTREMELY good at BMX.

Fox is a bmx bike company.
