How is 25-30 million too much if the company he works for makes a profit directly related to his services??
Well there is a multitude of things that surround this issue, a lot of things depend on the sport.
And I don't really care what the pidgin heads on this board say, the majority of people (left and right) think that athletes are overpaid, even the ones making far less than 20+ mil a year.

The business is generating what it's generating. Would you rather the owners just keep more of the profits?

That's asinine. People are paid according to their replacability. If the owner has miscalculated that value then the business will suffer. It's foolish to think there is a correct value for a certain field of employment.
