The Cleveland Cavaliers are the new highest-paid sports team in the world, with players making an average of $8.7 million during the 2016-17 season.

This is according to the annual "Global Sports Salaries Survey," published by Sporting Intelligence. The study looks at the first-team pay for 333 teams across seven different sports in 17 different leagues around the world.

Thanks to smaller rosters and television revenue that is skyrocketing, NBA teams shot up the list this year. Of the 25 highest-paid teams in the world, 18 are from the NBA.

I wonder if this is only base salary because I'm pretty sure the big soccer clubs get large bonuses for playing in multiple competitions

If I'm not mistake, only the top players like messi and Ronaldo. Others probably make 2-3 mil a year and that's playing for a top league like the epl or la liga

Nah I think for the big teams the entire first team will make BIG money but your right, after the top 12-15 players for RM, Barca, Bayern etc. they make like 1-3

Now I thought the the clubs will sometimes pay the players income tax and $5M will be net income
