PSG Reportedly Offer Kylian Mbappe Highest Ever $1.1 Billion ‘Lifetime Contract’

Paris Saint-Germain have made Kylian Mbappe a 10-year, €1 billion ($1.11 billion) offer to extend his current deal according to a Defensa Central report carried by SPORT.

If accepted by the 24-year-old currently linked with a potential move to Real Madrid, it would be the highest-paid sports contract of all time and provide the Frenchman with a strong chance of topping Forbes' list of The World's Highest-Paid Athletes each year for the forseeable future.

Mbappe looked close to joining the La Liga giants ahead of last season as the five-year terms he agreed when arriving from Monaco in 2017 neared expiry.

At the last minute, however, the Russia 2018 winner ditched Real Madrid president Florentino Perez at the altar and put pen to paper on an extension at the Parc des Princes.

But he doesn't get any "Fight of the Night" bonuses, so.....

 

[GilErick]

He might chose to go with soccer and miss on reebok bonus

You just have to give teh UFC some time to develop.

Compared to many other "staple sports"... MMA has moved past its infancy, and its awkward teenage years... & must now continue to carve out its place in teh sports world as a fresh new grown up.

The UFC and MMA as a whole has grown at a very rapid pace consideriring how young it is, but never in a million years is it getting anywhere near soccer. Dana is ignorant AF about the sheer scale of soccer to entertain such a ridiculous thought.

World fucking domination.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Dana had a foreshadowing of the success of Power Slap but confused it with the UFC is all.

He had to have meant the UFC will be bigger than soccer in the U.S.

 

[Here's Johnny!]

To be fair he said soccer not Futball. American soccer isn't the most popular sport to watch.

But now Messi is in "US Soccer", MLS might realistically get bigger than NHL in this decade.

It's definetely a lot more entertaining than soccer. Seriously, they need to do an overall on soccer. Less people on the field and make the field smaller.

We all know that was a delusional thing to say. MMA is not family friendly and it’s very nature of violence is a turn off to many people. For those reasons, it will always remain relatively niche compared to major league sports.

 

[CasualBot]

Trump, Musk, Dana White... are the modern bullshit salesmen.

Convince idiots to give THEM money ... but not their employees.

They tried to change the rules to attract more American fans, but it just pissed people off.

 

[Neck&Neck]

Mbappe wouldn’t even make it on TUF, so it’s whatever
Soccer is dying bro

 

[fishNjits]

He meant bigger than soccer in Iowa.
