Friday Five - 2024 PBA Tour Money Leaders

[@BornIn1500]

Minimum salary for NFL rookies is $795,000. The top earner in the PBA made $265,792. The 5th highest didn't even top $200,000. This is why a lot of the top bowling talent in the nation won't even take the chance of coming on tour. The money just isn't there.

Sucks

[@jeremyjones9467]

Gotta think about advertising tho, Pete explained this and you gotta think about amateur tournaments also that they compete in

[@Ty2Tymezzz]

you gotta include sponsorships, advertisements, and amateur tournaments they bowl too, yes it’s not the 800k in the nfl but it’s still well over 6 figures

[@rogerrosen2323]

@@jeremyjones9467 yes baseball is better then getting cte and injuries yes bowling is self employed some have u tube channels themselves and they have few opportunites against many people

Bowling is not sports just game 😅

[@robertblaney5033]

Adjusted for inflation, PBA bowlers today make far less than bowlers from the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s

[@Michaelholt32]

These guys deserve a lot money they work their asses off just to get on to tv so many games they gotta play ej got 265 grand but after paying the taxes that’s down under 200k

[@JCPhotography1542]

[@TheGlassbro]

Nice to see a couple rookies (Kyle/Anthony) on the list!

[@pyraminxstar]

@ weird joke mate…

[@DoomSlayer3493]

Anybody know why Kyle and his dad get particularly emotional over victories? Just curious.

[@Itsjustvon1027]

[@Michaelholt32]

Ppl complaining that these guys don’t earn enough well newsflash they also have other jobs other than bowling
