I believe you are wondering which sports Leagues Pay Players The Most?

Sport has always played a pivotal role in society and has been a huge presence in countries like Nigeria.

While work is important, people need something fun and exciting to fill their spare time with. Sport is the perfect answer and also helps to unite people. There is nothing like following the same team or cheering on the same athlete to bring everyone together after all.

Following sport in the modern day is not just about passively watching the action unfold either.

For example, sports betting gives people a chance to get more from watching games and adds even more excitement to it.

If you choose a top online sportsbook for Nigerian bettors, then you may even receive access to live game streaming and stats to look over before betting.

Whether you like to follow football, basketball, athletics, or any other sport, betting is a great way to make it all a bit more thrilling.

When there are no games to watch or bet on, sport is also something you can read up about in your spare time. A fascinating place to start is finding out which leagues pay players the most.

Once you start delving into this, you may be surprised at how much some leagues pay in salaries on average. But which leagues do pay the most currently?

Basketball’s premier tournament sees top pros earn an average salary of around $6m per year! Of course, the most well-known names like LeBron James or Kevin Durant take home a lot more than that.

The high salaries in the NBA reflect the number of money players bring into the league and how popular it has now become on a global scale.

IPL

The IPL could be seen as something of a curveball in terms of the biggest paying sporting leagues.

As cricket is not one of the major sports in Nigeria, many people there might not think of it as being a lucrative career to follow.

If you play in the Indian Premier League though, this is not true. The average salary for players in the IPL is around £4m and this can be even more for top international cricketers who choose to play for sides like Chennai Kings or Rajasthan Royals.

MLB

Baseball is one of the top four sports that have dominated the US scene for a long time but which have also found favor overseas in recent years.

Although it might not be huge in Nigeria, the MLB, which is baseball’s premier competition still, does pay its players very well.

Pro MLB stars net massive annual pay packets — just over £3m on average according to recent estimates. As in other leagues, the really elite-level players can earn a lot more than this.

Bryce Harper’s huge 2019 contract deal shows this to be true.

FA Premier League

Football is arguably the biggest sport in Nigeria and has millions of fans who follow the game religiously.

It is also a sport that ranks well in terms of those which pay players well. Although this might not be the case in smaller domestic leagues, salary levels really ramp up when players make it into major domestic leagues.

The pick of the bunch is the FA Premier League in England. This has an average salary of around £3m for players who turn out for top sides like Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Manchester City.

NFL

Although this was traditionally the top paying sport globally, the NFL has slipped behind other top competitions in recent times.

However, this does not mean however that NFL player is poorly paid.

On average, they take home around £2.5m each year for their exploits on the field. This is a deserved reward for all the stress they put their bodies through.

Top paying sports leagues worldwide

Finding out interesting things to enrich your life is always worthwhile — this could be anything from the top 10 richest Nigerian actresses in 2021 to which artists in music are the hottest right now.

Finding out which are the top-paying sports leagues globally is also fun and a great addition to anyone’s general knowledge.

As the above shows, there are some which reward players richly for their effort.
