I shared the news that Dima and Timo will get paid USD16000 per match in the Chinese super league.
A forum member said that is not enough. So what is enough? What is inline? What is more correct?
I don't have all the stats, but I do believe USD16000 per match is a big number in many sports.
What do you guys feel the income of a table tennis player should be? Baring in mind, we need to compare with other non tier 1 sports. If you like to compare with Basketbal or Football, then maybe Dima should join the NBA rather
Some extra info about Chinese Super League:
Date: 17 May 2014 till 10 August 2014.
Top players earn RMB 2 million a season (3 months) - USD320 000 or USD100 000 per month.
Higest was RMB 5 mllion a season (3months) - USD800 000 or USD267 000 per month, but they have since lowered the cap down to RMB 2 million
The above is also based on match appearance, so the max they play, that is the max amount they will get paid etc.
USD16000 per match x a possible of 18 matches (not including 2nd round),
Which is USD288 000 a session
Potential 2nd round is a max of 3 matches so an extra of USD48000, so making it a total of USD336 000 a sesson
