  1. When they became stars each club wants to have them so they offer a lot of money.

Professionals with real talent are very few, and the money is recognition of the skills and dedication a person needs to be successful. Competition is constant and a player is tested every time they perform in their relatively short career. Due to their performance they get the best offers in the sport market.

Professional athletes become main targets for advertising because of their global following so sport firms pay a lot of money to advertise their sport suits and sport materials (rackets, gulf clubs, balls, etc.). Sports magazines revealed that many athletes in the world make substantially more money from endorsements than they do from actually playing.

For example: Sport man like Floyd Mayweather (boxing), is making a fortune as a professional boxer and taking a cut of Pay-Per-View fees by representing himself.
