Thanks!!!
This is a poor wikipedia page because it only accounts for contracts above $100 million, spread over years. It should simply be highest annual salary, which means Michael Jordan's 1996-97 $30 million single season contract should be on this. It is despicable that it is not. —Preceding

Cristiano Ronaldo should be there. His first contract with Real Madrid was €13mil for 6 years. I don't think he's the highest paid soccer player either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Striker161 ( talk • contribs) 16:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
Los Angeles Galaxy, not New York.
Please note Beckham's salary is NOT $50 million a year, that is his expect total earnings, after endorsements, etcetera [ [2]]. Do not insert it into the article.
-- Spirit2112 21:23, 12 January 2007 (UTC) IMHO, I am doubtful that Beckham's contract will really value anywhere near $50 Million. MLS soccer teams typically struggle financially and are not likely profitable; thus there wouldn't be any profits to share with him. I'm sure his presence will have a positive impact on the MLS and the LA club in particular, but his presence alone will not lift professional soccer into the "big-time" US sports. If your not convinced, ask yourself what would be the impact on the Indy Racing League (open-wheel auto racing) if Michael Schumacher were to join the league. Sure he'd have an impact, but it wouldn't move the sport substantially in the minds of the average US sports fan. They are European sport stars, not US sport stars, essentially. US fans are too caught up in the established sports (American Football, Basketball, Baseball and even Hockey - in Hockey towns). My $0.02.
Do you guys think people will stop adding him to the list a couple days from now or will it just be like this forever? Recury 23:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
The bottom line is that it inludes salary and endorsements. I think it should just be listed @ the top w/ an asterik. We shouldn't be guessing an exact amount, just saying what was reported - 250 Mil (reportedly includes salary and endorsements) 66.30.130.133 05:40, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
beckham had his own reason for getting such high pay. he is considered one of the most gifted player in europe, yet he travelled to USA, somewhere where soccer wasn't even popular. He had pretty much sacrificed his career signing with a less famed team. its not surprising he receives a high pay as a result in my opinion, (or he would had rather stayed in a promising football club like milan etc) plus its been 2 years since the last talk about beckham, is his contract denied yet? can anyone clarify this? thanks btw this article really seems USA based only.. this people are claimed to be receiving big money than any football players I knew and I don't even know anything about them until I saw this article.. And no I lived neither in USA nor europe. Dsdsasds ( talk) 14:48, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Anyone want to find more sources on this? I'm not sure how long Alonso's contract is, but his pay is right up there w/ Schumacher's. [ [4]] —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.206.215.18 ( talk) 14:40, 12 January 2007 (UTC).
I'm almost positive Fernando's McLaren contract expires in 2009 The Dunnie —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 21:36, August 22, 2007 (UTC).
It would be nice to see a list of all-time largest sports contracts, adjusted for inflation. But it would be extremely difficult to find that information, and I'm not sure if that list would be substantially different than this one. I can't help but noting that all but four of these were signed in 2000 or later. What would be doable though is also listing the salaries averaged per year, or a seperate chart for largest (average) salary per year. A lot of these look really huge but are actually over 10 or 11 years, and I can think of players signing one and two year deals for $20M or soething. PolarisSLBM 18:04, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
Agree on the averaging per year. It seems a particularly American thing to measure the total value. Most European football contracts are expressed in a per week way which is easier to compare Morganr 19:33, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
We need to get a highest annual salary list. Also Beck's contract is misleading because it includes endorsements which virtually no other contract does. Jordan was making $35 million a year in salary alone and should be #1 all-time. He also made $80-100 million a year in endorsements I believe. However he signed single year contracts. Quadzilla99 02:30, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, beckham needs to come off the list. Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 02:43, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Keep in mind the heading of this article. It deals specifically with sports contracts. Annual salaries should be a separate post, or if they are combined, the heading should be changed Whoppersnapper 03:05, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes, agreed. Current article is useless as it does not include players that earn great amount by signing a series of short term deal. For example, soccer players may earn more than those on the current list but are excluded due to short-term deals. This article is bias towards American sports. Perhaps an article relating to sports only related earnings (no endorsements) in a calender year should be created (thus golf and tennis players can be included)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Striker161 ( talk • contribs) 16:22, 7 September 2011 (UTC)

is it redundant to have an asterisk next to a retired player's team? I think it's quite obvious that the player no longer plays on that (or any) team. Im.a.lumberjack 21:52, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Peyton Manning should be on this list. He's the highest paid NFL player in history. 167 million dollar contract, 91 million signing bonus, 19 million in incentives (which I'ms ure he got after winning the Super Bowl). He makes more than Vick and Palmer.
Might it be useful to create another column, with the salary per year? it may make comparison easier for contracts with different lengths. just a thought. - Im.a.lumberjack 21:53, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

He recently signed a contract rumoured to be worth $138 million over 5 years. But until more concrete details are available, they shouldn't be added to the list. -- Madchester ( talk) 17:02, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
His salary numbers are wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.108.100.88 ( talk) 06:48, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
If everyone thinks having the list go by the most money per year is better than I am fine with that. Until then, please follow the inclusion criteria so the list doesn't spiral out of control. If we decide to change the list, then a rename and a change of inclusion criteria are probably in order too. We could also have two separate lists, but that would be harder to maintain.

Joey Votto Just Signed a 10 Year $0 Million contract — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.7.48.175 ( talk) 00:05, 3 April 2012 (UTC)
Cristiano's contract value in 2009 is written as 102M$ when the source states 80M£. The conversion is not correct. Changing it would make him go up in the table, and I don't know how to do it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.81.255.130 ( talk) 19:47, 8 September 2013 (UTC)
So I just looked at the source that was quoted, 2 of them are from 2012, and one of them is from 2014.
The CBC source from 2014 claims "The 26-year-old Messi will earn a reported $27 million US per season with further incentives able to drive the deal up to $34 million per year until the contract ends in 2017-18 ". Some quick math says that from 2014-2015 season to the 2017-2018 season (3 seasons) at 27 million comes down to 81 million? I don't see how they got the 400 million number, none of the sources mentioned it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.151.148.240 ( talk) 00:28, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
The source for the figure in the chart ( http://www.totalsportek.com/f1/sebastian-vettel-ferrari-contract-worth-240-million/) posted a correction that puts the contract at 3 years, 110 million or up to 130 million if he hits all of the bonus requirements.

Ohtani's contract value is only $460 million due to the deferrals and inflation. I don't think he should be listed first, or there should be a note on it that the actual value is $460 million.

The source for the figure in the chart ( http://www.totalsportek.com/f1/sebastian-vettel-ferrari-contract-worth-240-million/) posted a correction that puts the contract at 3 years, 110 million or up to 130 million if he hits all of the bonus requirements.

Why is Lebron James not on this list? His 4 year $154,000,000 should be included.

Dear eds, always keep in mind that the same amount of money of two numerically equal contracts is not the same financially per non-stop inflation. 176.37.192.236 ( talk) 14:56, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Hello, Mbappe signs a 3 years deal with Psg (2022-2025) hard to have official numbers, in France "serious media" speak about 100M/year (including or not signature bonus ... we don't really know) https://www.forbes.com/sites/justinbirnbaum/2022/10/07/the-worlds-highest-paid-soccer-players-2022-kylian-mbapp-claims-no-1-while-erling-haaland-debuts/?sh=a6790a9629d1 I think we should investigate on this contract, he clearly deserves a place in this top 100 93.23.4.67 ( talk) 18:48, 10 October 2022 (UTC)

Change Messi’s spot to Ohtani. Shohei Ohtani just signed a 700 million dollar contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers 2603:9001:5508:CF98:59C6:99A9:4F31:A574 ( talk) 04:20, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
Ohtani's contract value is only $460 million due to the deferrals and inflation. I don't think he should be listed first, or there should be a note on it that the actual value is $460 million. I don't believe the ones by Messi and Ronaldo had deferments. 2601:147:4701:6D00:F2EC:9BC2:B0BC:AE2E ( talk) 17:37, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
