Not only you add match fees but you add the National League money the board provides. Then you add the Premire League money the clubs pay per year. This is before any adds they do. Shakib, Rasel, Ash, Mash, Habibul Bashar all do some type of TV advertisements.

Yes, you can't compare with the Kobe, Tiger and King James. You can't compare US top athletes to other nations. If the #1 draft pick rookie who have zero experience gets a signing bonus of $30 mill (Garanteed money) + the salary, how can other sports in other countries compete? Actually with the exception of few formula one drivers they are uncomparable.

If you compare with Football players in BD (highest paid professional athlete before cricket) these boys are doing fairly well.
