Inter Miami's Lionel Messi earned more than the entire payrolls of 22 other Major League Soccer teams, and Olivier Giroud has $3,675,000 in annualized total compensation under the contract he signed to join Los Angeles FC in July.

There’s no denying that Caitlin Clark has been a huge factor in raising viewership and attendance throughout the WNBA. You don’t have to say it’s solely because of her, but she’s helped. That became extremely obvious when news broke of Clark’s “Lionel Messi-Like” offer to participate in the new Unrivaled women’s 3-on-3 basketball league.

The Unrivaled Basketball League, founded by WNBA superstars Napheesa Collier and Breanna Stewart, is looking to give Caitlin Clark $1 million and incentives to play in the league according to a report by Front Office Sports senior reporter Michael McCarthy.
