It's mental but it works out at about £414k a week.

Footballer salaries are approaching that now - look at Rooney for instance.
 
I would find it very hard to stay as motivated on a 13 year contract :lol:

Theres only a few player on or in the 300k/week plus club in football, those being Ronaldo and Messi. The rest are 250 and below.

In baseball however, numbers like are common place:

Cabrera 10years, $290m
A Rod 10years, $272m + 10 years $250m
Cano 10 years, $240m


Top 11 are all baseball http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_sports_contracts

However, I cant quite figure out wages like that are plausible. Ye MLB is 'big', but surely football, in particular the Premier league is bigger globally.

Looking at this is frightening like, elite QBs in the NFL earning over $1m a game, F1 drivers $2m~ a race.
 
Worth pointing out that not all of their contracts is guaranteed money.

It's guaranteed plus incentivised as in all US sports. Teams also build in the option to 'cut' (release) players at any time too although their are financial implications to it it doesn't mean they're tied in for 13 years.

MLB contacts are fully guaranteed. NFL contracts are not. Stanton does have some sort of opt out clause after a few years if he wants out of Miami, but if he wants to stay, the team is on the hook for the whole thing unless he voluntarily retires.
