While competing, she certainly makes more money per minute than these jabronis.

Actually I see the list and it's the highest paid pitcher that stands out to me. Pitchers pitch once every 5 games, so his $$$$ is probably higher than Ronda's even if it's a full 9 innings pitched every start.

Take Cliff Lee for example making 25 million a year. He averages 35 starts a year, thats around $714,000 he makes every time he pitches. He averages around 6 2/3 innings per start. The average game is around 3 hours, so hes in the game for around 2 hours, half of which he is on the bench so he is pitching on average a hour a game. So hes averaging around $714,000 every hour he is physically competing. Ronda makes more than that on average in less than 5 minutes of work.

Who do you think gets more money regarding practice and gametime work?

I'm not sure I understand the question. NBA players by far have the highest average salaries in American sports.
I didn't see them listed but are you sure? I thought nba contracts on the high end were 20-25 mill a year and the NBA is 82 games long so I don't think they'd be paid higher than ones listed and that we're specifically talking about(Ronda/Pitchers)

I honestly lost track of what we are talking about lol. But yea, basketball you average the most, but you do have to play a lot of games. Being an elite starting pitcher is the way to go. Only have to make 30 appearances and all your money is guaranteed.

I'm surprised the Indian Premier league is second, or is this some other league I am not recognizing?
