No one deserves that much money to be an athlete.

what does Messi earn??

 

[Seaton]

Not as much as that, at least not from direct wages.

I think the order of highest earners (from all income sources) is as:

Christiano Ronaldo
David Beckham
Lionel Messi

All earning in excess of $20 million per annum

Eto is still what, £60 000 a week short of what Man City pays Yaya Toure?
