Now lets talk about footballers and musicians.
An average footballers earn more than an average musicians.
Do you know you the reason why the media portray africa poor? is not because they are no rich people in Africa, but is because the wealth are not even distributed among her citizens.

Now back to the topic.
Unknown footballers earn more than upcoming musicians.
There are footballers you may had never heard of..but they make cool money unlike in music were you have to be known to earn big.


Hope you got the logic.

Still got everything wrong. How many artistes do you think you know except for the ones on YouTube?

The richest musician in the world, Lloyd Webber is unknown to you I bet. He's worth $1.2bn. Should I go on with others? Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Garth Brooks, Jimmy Buffet, Gene Artry are all richer than your boy wonder, Mayweather. The kind Mayweather didn't appear in top 50 this year after he retired, why? But but Michael Jackson is dead and still makes money. Lol

Let's come back to Nigeria
An average musician in Nigeria earns more than a professional footballer, I lie?
Even the local artiste by my street drives a Toyota Corolla just earning from performing in mediocre shows

Comparing upcoming musicians to footballers is apples and oranges. You compare noob artistes with academy players and local street athletes.

My dear, music is higher in earnings than football.

If to say this thread was about baseball and basketball players, small case for dey, lol

dopeJemi:
Like I said, a footballer with two broken legs, HIV, cancer will still earn what he earns

It seems you don't know how this music game goes down, if it was by music alone, rick Ross, birdman and the rest won't be raking such amounts in their bank accounts

I dare you to name one single musician that is worth a billion dollars that he earned through his music, the only music billionaire we have is dr Dre(correct me if i'm wrong) and he earned that through a business deal, not his music

If musicians don't do shows, concerts, release songs, they won't make much, it's more like eating so I won't die

A top earning footballer might get his leg amputated and still earn what he used to earn until his contract is terminated

Luke shaw got injured for 10months and was still getting paid, let an artiste go silent for 5 months and don't release hit songs let's see how far he goes while not having any business aside

Lmao

Whether you sleep and get paid or you work hard, we both are still estimating how much at the end each makes in a year. A footballer who gets injured will still be involved in training every week. The 90 mins in the field is just a tiny fraction of the time a footballer world.

Even if you don't play again and still on contract, chances are your salary won't still be higher than a musician who gets income from royalties and streams. That's the undiluted truth.

If you use only football and music earrings, then Ronaldo only makes £20m/year. Does that look like it's higher than a boy band like One Direction's music earnings in a year let alone solo artistes? Solely music earnings will top solely football earnings by far and it's that it's still an understatement.

Dr Dre isn't billionaire, dude's not richer than Diddy sef. Billionaire artistes include the Phantom of opera guy,
Lloyd Webber, Madonna, Bono of U2, probably Paul McCartney.

You sef analyze am. The biggest earner in Africa, does he make more money than P-Square. That one too much, make we use Banky W?

Lol

dopeJemi:
Beyonce will earn 4million dollars for sweating her ass off in shows and studios

Rooney will earn that amount doing nothing

Cheers

Both sweat their ass off even more footballers.
Footballers play an average of 45 - 50 games in 9 months, go for national competitions and club friendlies. They also work out every week, miss holidays and go through body conditioning in order to keep fit

Musicians do less to earn more. Ask fat musicians like Rick Ross, Fat Joe, DJ Khaled, etc. They may only release 5 - 10 songs a year and still make money than an average footballer. They get paid by sitting down and watching people stream their songs and videos. What of soundtracks, game songs, royalties, chips off shares, etc. Dem yapa.

Kanye just ventured into football, signed his own deal with Nike. Doesn't that tell you how successful musicians can be even if they diverse into the so called sport? Musicians are even paid to perform in opening ceremonies of football competitions, even the official theme song, etc.

Do you know any footballer that's worth $1bn? No, but I can give you 3 or more musicians from heart.
The highest earning tour was by U2 where they made $800m+ in a year. Footballers don see that kind money

Please, accept your loss and don't argue blindly

adexsimply:
forgive me, but how can Taylor Swift be the richest at 200million when Floyd Mayweather's net worth is 400 million?

Lol
The topic says top earning not net worth

Even if you use net worth, we already have billionaire musicians already and the only sportsman close to a billion is a retired basketball player

encryptjay:
That's part of the deals sir

My point is an average American can afford a camaro so it's not a big deal if it's a remuneration for footballers

IffaCatchYouEhn:
USA Where's Floyd Mayweather

He spends far more than he earns
He's the top earner last year. His frivolous lifestyle has seen him tumble.

encryptjay:
Footballers get paid for their work in most cases
They get paid real well!
Talk about deals? You're signing for a club and getting cars like the one below
It's Naija that makes footballers look like jokers

Lol. A Chevrolet Camaro? Something that's not up to $35000.

Do you know a a Toyota Avalon is more expensive than a camaro?

dopeJemi:
Buahahahahahahahahaha

That's a fat lie, now let's assume it's true, will drake host concerts everyday? Go check his net worth

Ronaldo is currently earning about 500k pounds a week, that is 1M pounds in two weeks, 2M pounds in a month, now do the math for a year, Ronaldo uses 1 to 2 weeks to get what drake gets from his shows and album sales

Bros, you just mentioned the top earning footballer in the world.

If you put Ronaldo in a list with the top earning musicians in the world, he'd fall back
Forbes already listed the top earning celebrities in the world, both footballers and musicians. Guess where Ronaldo is? 5th.

You know the highest paid celebrity? Taylor Swift, an artiste

So in your terms, musicians earn higher than footballers

Eruditor:
Everyone loved GSW until they dared to break that 72-10 record. That's when they became anathema. Had GSW gotten KD by 2014, nobody would have been talking about Super teams I bet you.

Before 2014, OKC could still beat Warriors so that won't even be on his radar. Rather Curry will be the one thinking of joining OKC

SIRcumalot:
question to all
did we give LMA this more sheet when he joined the Spurs ?

would the league and the fans be This vexed if Durant joined the spurs

what do you all think ?

Well, Durant did beat Spurs and Aldridge isn't a franchise player or a top 10 player. So, no the league will be less livid

SIRcumalot:
on paper Lolawillam's squad will kill yours.
just saying.

I have to think about mine first.

On paper, probably

But since we're using them in the primes, I'm pretty sure my team will slay hers
KG in his prime was a beast, better defender than Duncan, way better FT shooter and his assists are higher than an average PF. He didn't have a good backup then and please don't mention Sczerbiak or Marbury. His team was synonymous to Lebron's Cavs and he did good. Duncan is better cos of his consistency and of course his strength but in their primes, mehn I'm taking KG all day

As for Jabbar, I no watch am so I dey take the one wey I see plus he's Nigerian

StupidGoat:
nice tie knot.. How did you do it? What's the name? So I can look it up

Thanks
Double Eldredge knot

This is really tough, mhen

PG - Magic Johnson
SG - Michael Jordan
C - Hakeem Olajuwon
SF - Lebron
PF - Kevin Garnett

You do loafers and sneakers?

Mizzzbeee:
is that in an ascending order or descending order?

In what world would it be in ascending order?

Guys, I want to see your top 5 PFs. No debates or counter arguments, just list

Mine goes thus:

Duncan
Malone
Dirk
KG
Barkley

mumu, have u forgotn we ar discusin polictics and all those u mentioned ar politicians under same umbrella. so it is more appropriate to use "among" not "between". the context matters. recieve sense mr educational fees.

Jesu what does politics have to do with "reach" and "rich"?
Just talk say you no know book rather than searching for a save

PS: Google what punk is and save me the wasted efforts in schooling you one more time

lonikit:
jeeeeessssuuuuuuu. "between" ke. I hail o. so it is grammatically correct to say " the money was shared between them (same entity)? I pity ur students.

Illiterate.

Using people of the same group entails you using among
Example
1) The money was shared among them

If you want to use between, it goes thus

2) The money was shared between Zerotolerance and lonikit

Refund your educational fees to the government, you glorified illiterate

lonikit:
oga are u quoting from ur dreamland? can u justify my position here. dont just start wht u cannot finish. u can't win in a linguistic tussle bcus u are not only a failure to ur society but also to linguists world.
mind u, if u want likes, make a formal request.

Didn't you quote me first, punk? Please and please, Mr linguist, I really need to know when to use between and among as I'm an illiterate

Kindly expose your ignorance here, idiot

lonikit:
his composition was bad but u got the message, so react to dat or we admit that u dont knw wen to use "among" and "between".

Bros, you no sabi English at all.
Let me help a bit:

Between is used for 2 distinct entities while among connotes entities belonging to a common group.
You both really failed the society, Zerotolerance and you

ZeroTolerance:
You that doesn't know when to use "among" rather than "between" who stole the money for your education?

OMG!!!! Just look at this one grammar and corrections

PDP really failed us

lolawilliams:
Exactly, nice write up, K.D ring would only be ceremonial, it wld never have as much value as those who won it through tougher adversities.

What's going on with cavs, looks like they trying to fill that team with old veteran players, R.J, mike dunleavy and there are rumours going on that we're trying to get chris anderson. I dont think thats a good idea, though I read that dunleavy has a good defense, a 3pts shooter and a lil dirty, It wld hve been grt to see delly play with him. Old players can never beat that warriors startin 5

But I havent seen a big signing, leBron and JR are yet to sign also. Im not feeling all of this, I swear.

You guys will still get to the finals. Winning another one is an entirely different discourse

@ mentorandfriend

Is it only private hospitals or consultancy?
What of other divisions like military, masters in various courses like public health, etc? Don't they make money too?

IZANAMI:
Up to 10 pharmacies in the same area has already exposed your falsehood bro.You sabi lie gan.That's against d ethics of d profession. And also,How do you know they have no pharmacy cert?Where you going from shop to shop and demanding for 'em to tender their cert?Abeg,You too dey lie jare
So CS is up to 600k? I've had enough of your mendacity...There's a diff BTW patent drug dealers and pharmacies,the difference is very Wide.I don't think I need to go through d rigor of enlightening you,You don't need it.

I'm not into medicine but at least a family member and you're really very very very very ignorant. VERY!!!!

Cesarean section you say that's not up to 100k is the government hospital. Private hospitals charge up to 800k. This is no joke, I've visited a friend who delivered in one where she paid 580k. That same hospital does IVF for a mill, up to 8 per month excluding other surgeries and other maternal services.

And my cousin became a consultant at 31, so be sure of what you say. Doctors earn more than pharmacists in the same organisation be it internship to service to hospitals to military to community to academics. That's the fact

But pharmacists have a propensity to earn more because of their marketing and sales skills plus pharmacies ownership, etc which shouldn't be the norm of a pharmacist but that's life.

So please, modify your post in the first page cos it's filled with balderdash and really misleading young ones out there.

Thanks

Lol. Story for the gods / The gods oh

So it is ok for Bron to leave a Championship team Cavs with 66 wins in a season. Than for Durant to leave a team he had only helped to a Final once after 9 years in the league

They won 61 games not 66 and lost in the semis to 4th placed Boston (not Magic, my mistake) who had 50 wins, the equivalent of 8th place OKC. Cavs were messed up and Lebron chickened his way out.

KD just upgraded his "chickenry"

God forbid say Warriors re-sign Barnes.
Why Celtics or Heat? Better chance of reaching the finals than with Westbrook or in the West

Mizzzbeee:
plus Zaza Pachulia a double double big

Yes Warriors has an awesome chance beating Cavs next season but with all the trades and shuffling most teams made tho they are favourites to do it it wud be harder....
But with Kevin Durant it's way easier

If Durant's re-signs with the warriors then we might as well witness the first 3peat of our time

So excited!! November should be here already

Truth of the matter is I am just looking for that team they would lose to and how the team pulled it off

Can't wait!!!

It won't be as easy as your predictions. Most teams would step up seeing that the competition has risen. If Warriors should lose any game next season, it'd be a bar fest that day. Lose the ring and Curry or Durant go hear am.

My own is to see how their numbers would look like, who gets MVP next season and especially who suffers

A40:
After making megedefegede excuses you have the temerity to ask me mumu Jamb question. Are you drunk?

LeBron fans talmbout what he did is better than Durant. Have you ever seen where 3 of the top 5 picks in a draft year combine to join one team? That is like Olajuwon, M.J, Barkley combining to form a super team. What does it matter if they were 1st or 16th prior to K.D's arrival. Weren't the Cavs the owners of the best regular season record when he left? Even after seeing the Heat with Wade and Bosh were aging he came back to the Cavs who had a younger star in Kyrie knowing fully well attracting a 3rd star wouldn't be a problem so how is he better than K.D

Yes. Who love don epp? Kobe, San Antonio, LeBron have turned the hate directed their way to rings. I'm confident K.D can do the same and keep LeBron at 3

Bros, to be sincere I don't like Lebron that much but I have to admit Durant move was way worse than Lebron's

Warriors is a 73 win team before KD, Heat had 47 wins before LeBron and struggled
Warriors now have the last 2 MVPs in their primes, one of the top 5 greatest shooters, a finals mvp plus a triple double all star, Heat bin only get Big 3 and an ageing Allen
Leave that regular season record, no be majority of East dem play? Cavs then wasn't that good and were outplayed by Magic who in turn got swept by Lakers

OKC was a championship team and with the right players can be better, so is the Warriors. In fact, Warriors has a better chance of beating Cavs next season even without Durant. On the other hand, Heat then wasn't a championship side and Cavs wasn't without LeBron.
The best team for Durant would've been in the East probably Celtics or Heat sef.

I'm not saying Lebron wasn't an idiot but you're using your hatred for the king to argue with sentiments
