How much do professional paintball players earn?

Answer 1

The majority of Paintballers aren't paid. they are subsidised for their travel and expenses and get free gear off their sponsors. very few are paid... but when they are paid they are paid ALOT. for example Oliver Lang signed a $100,000 deal with Dye paintball in 2006 making him the best paid paintballer in the world. not entirely sure if that is still the case though. i paintball myself so i know what i am talking about. if you have any more paintball queries email me at d.hosker@Yahoo.co.uk ... if you want a team my team is currently recruiting in east devon, UK (exeter area) just email me.
