Yeah and let's compare overall earnings including endorsements.
LeBron got like a $90million deal with Nike I believe, Durant also Nike.

Also, soccer players tend to not have the longevity a baseball or basketball player can have. Tiger Woods between Nike and his tour earnings will blow away Mbappe's lifetime earnings.

You don’t think Mbappe has endorsements?


Also, there’s a salary structure for rookies in American pro leagues.

Didn't say that, just saying it would look a lot different, especially including Nike money.

Then Ronaldo would probably be #1 and Messi would be a top 5.

It’s possible that the currency where Mbappé plays isn't worth shite, so that’s not as much money as you think.

Prob around the same. The greatest soccer players typically will play up to 35 or a lil longer.

Their prime ends earlier but the greatest Soccer players can play all over the world until they are in their late 30s

What's terrible about the take?

Try to explain it out.


All I said was adding in endorsement deals makes this disparity look mighty different.


LeBron was worth more than $90 million at age 19.

To be fair Mbappe Nike deal is rumoured to be ‘just’ €5million a year

ronaldo made $93 million in endorsements in a calendar year recently. much more than lebron james. you act as if soccer players don't get enormous endorsement deals. and mbappe is on his way to being the best player in the world.

ronaldo is turning 34 years old soon and is going to earn $35 million (american dollars) per year until he's 37 years old.

also, soccer players can play way past their primes, going to lesser leagues for lots of money because those leagues are doing anything they can to gain exposure.

M’Bappe also got a huge payday from Nike for going to PSG.

He had a clause in his contract sayin he’d get a massive bonus if he went to PSG, Barcelona, Man City or Chelsea.
