Statistically it is Frank Lampard from Chelsea. I will provide you with facts as well. People might argue that Roonie or Henry are because they are more flambuoyant, however, the stats don't lie.

Yes it certainly is. It's the most widespread sport and the Premier League is the richest in the world. It depends however, what you call sport as fishing is supposed to have more participants although professional football is watched every week by over a million people live and far many more millions on television. Top Premier players can earn over £100,000 per week but in lower leagues the average is about £25,000

I am not sure but I think it is Nicolas Anelka. Since he began his playing career in 1995, he has played for 8 clubs, not including his second stint at club Paris Saint-Germain. I think he also has, if i am not mistaken, the highest total for career transfer fees, standing at 69.8 million pounds.\n\nYears             Club \n1995-1997       Paris Saint-Germain\n1997-1999       Arsenal\n1999-2000       Real Madrid\n2000-2002       Paris Saint-Germain\n2001-2002       Liverpool\n2002-2005       Manchester City\n2005-2006       Fenerbahçe\n2006                Al-Emarat\n2006-Present  Bolton Wanderers

Ronaldinho is world's highest-paid footballer    \n\nThe 2005 winner of the Ballon d'Or for best footballer in the world, who plays with Barcelona, will earn a total of 23 million euros ($28.5 million) this year, nearly three times as much as he made in 2005.This total includes a salary of 8.5 million euros in bonuses and about 14 million euros income from advertising.\n\nBeckham came in second on the list, with earnings of 18 million euros for 2006, down from the 25 million euros he made last year.\n\nHe was followed by another Real Madrid 'Galactico', Brazilian striker Ronaldo with 17.4 million euros, England striker Wayne Rooney with 16.1 million euros and Monaco's Italian striker Christina Vieri at 16 million euros.\n\nWhile there are only two Chelsea players among the world's top 20 earners, the club's outspoken coach, Jose Mourinho, topped the trainer list with 10.9 million euros.\n\nFar behind in second place was England's Swedish coach Sven-Goran Eriksson with 6.9 million euros, followed by Manchester United trainer Alex Ferguson at 5.95 million euros.

Zidane had the largest transfer fee.  I'm pretty sure he has the highest salary as well.  If you hold this question open for a few more weeks, the answer will be Thierry Henry.  Next month when Henry signs his new contract, he will have the highest salary.  I think at current it is ZZ first, Ronaldinho second, and Beckham third.

Too many of them that's for sure...  \n\nThis article claims it is Rio Ferdinand:\n\nManchester United enter their first season under the Glazer clan, following American tycoon Malcolm Glazer's hugely unpopular takeover of the richest club in the world of football. So, this campaign could be crucial for Sir Alex Ferguson and his future at the Old Trafford, but the manager has not invested much during the off-season. Sir Alex had been looking for a first-choice goalkeeper and he hopes the signing of Edwin van der Sar ends the hunt. Korean forward Ji-Sung Park, who arrived from Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven, also looks a promising addition, but Ferguson has failed to strengthen the rest of the squad. However, Manchester United start the new season boosted by the news that Rio Ferdinand is staying at Old Trafford. The 26-year-old defender ended speculation about his future by penning an improved new four-year contract. English media reports said Ferdinand wanted more than €170,000 a week, almost certainly making him England's highest-paid player, but the terms of the new deal were not disclosed. However, Manchester United need to avoid yet another bad start in order to finish higher than last season.\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\nAlthough he is captain of the national English team, David Beckham lives in Spain and plays for Real Madrid.

In answer to yur first question currently david beckham is the highest paid this soon could be michael ballack because chelsea have bottomless pockets there is also speculation ronahldinio may sign a new contract that would entitle him to £90,000 a week. In answer to question 2 i would imagine that this is correct as the USA capital of NBA is a much larger country than the UK capital of the FA. Although the only thing that may contradict this is the folowig of football all over the world i.e. world cup to which NBA hasnt got a version of. Hope this helps ;o)
