Mexico City /
After the scandal that has triggered knowing the millionaire contract he has Lionel Messi has with the Barcelona, Media like El Mundo have been given the task of comparing which other international athletes have contracts as high as the Barça club striker. However, no one comes to the Argentine although there are several who win millions for every game or fight, such as boxers.
One of them is the contract of Trout Mike Nelson, outside of Los Angeles Angels, who on March 19, 2019 signed a $ 430 million contract until 2030. This was possible thanks to the money received by the Angel team from the Fox sports chain that paid for the rights of MLB 5 billion 100 million.
Muhammad, the most expensive contract announced
To him is added the case of Patrick Mahomes, quarterback of the Chiefs of Kansas City, Who has a contract for $ 503 million for the next 10 years. The current NFL champion earns approximately $ 3,100,000 per game. In this case, the investment would pay off as the player is installed in the Super Bowl LV and could get his second championship with the Chiefs in a row.
However, according to the Spanish media that revealed the document on Lionel Messi, in the case of Muhammad the situation is delicate as there is a salary cap in the NFL of $ 198 million that makes this deal difficult and that you need money from the televisions that buy the rights to be able to settle these amounts.
The Spanish environment recalls other cases such as Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, Who signed a contract in 2018 for 11 fights. Each of these battles would represent a gain of $ 33 million. However, the agreement with DZN could not be fulfilled due to the pandemic.
