Averagebasketball player $2.2 million to $220,000baseball player $1.37 million to $109,000hockey player $892,000 to $125,000football player $795,000 to $131,000^^ to the above,

you are an idiot, professionals get paid according to which club they play for and which sponsorships they have, they are never paid a set amount, the amount you get paid is dependant on how good you are, Wayne Rooney is paid £250,000 a week just from Manchester United, other payments from sponsorships he receives brings his weekly total to around £400-500,000 a week. Other "soccer" (if you're American) or football players receive less than £50 per week, dependant on their abilities, all sports conform to this way of payment
it depends on the soccer team, player, position, and how good or bad the team is.

We are unsure of the salary for athletes right now... probably around 200 million for around 6 yrs. Mostly( especially for NFL because of the lockout) we are unsure of any salaries or anything big like that for athletes. the best ive seen is Chris Bosh with around 127M!:p idk how much it is sorry

Answer 6

Median annual earnings of athletes and sports competitors were $41,060 in 2006-this means that half earned more than this amount and half earned less.

Pay for professional athletes vary with the sport. Jockeys, for example, may get a part of the purse or a set fee. Stock car drivers may earn several hundred thousand dollars for a race. Boxers can earn millions of dollars for a fight, and Baseball, football, and Basketball players may earn millions a year if they are superstars. Tennis players and golfers usually get paid according to how well they play compared to other players. It is only the star professional, however, who earns the "big" money. Those in the "minors" earn very little

Answer 7

This is not a simple answer since for starters it depends upon the sport you are talking about. The range of salaries for professional athletes varies greatly as to the sport, whether the athlete is in the US or international, as well as whether the athlete is a male or female. The question would have to be broken down quite a bit in order to even begin to give an answer.
