Well, it's been said countless times that football has become more than a sport with time passing and has evolved into a business, a financial machine. There is always going to be money flying around everywhere and, as Joel' mentioned a few pages back
It has to go somewhere. Enter, Ronaldo, Messi, Rooney, Drogba, Torres, Kaka ( etc. etc. etc.). So this was eventually going to happen in the way that sponsorships came into play, the huge impact Sky Sports had and the Premier League did in 1992 when it burst onto British television with matches from the weekend glorified before people's sets. I wasn't born at that time, but I can understand how it diversified the way people watched football from then on. It would never-ever go back.
People and other companies are going to be attracted because it's almost a "win-win" situation. They get money, the players get money, the club gets money and football churns out all of this as a result. Perhaps some may be overpaid towards the end of their careers, i.e. earning around £80-90k per week in their mid-to-late 30's, but as mentioned before, individual deals and their reputations get them such a large amount of money.
I've probably repeated what some others have said.
If the club doesn't pay the footballer that money, where does it go?
