yup got it..but to be honest i'm shocked to know that US players r paid so less..i'll tell u something i'm a s/w developer and i'm gettin paid 3.16 lakh per annum...but my frnd who went to US last month get 2.5lakh/month..and wen he will come back he will get his original salary of 4 lakh per annum......so i thought that evry US player r earning almost 1 crore/year....by d way 1 US $-= Rs 60 if u wanna convert
<br><div><br></div><div>Its the salary cap in MLS that causes these low (but very livable) wages. Right now the cap is set to an estimated $3,000,000 meaning that no club can exceed that amount (Just for comparisons sake, Wigan Athletic had a wage bill of an estimated $60,000,000). Of course, we also have the marquee rules which allows us to sign players where only $300,000 of their salary count towards the cap (Example: Theirry Henry earns $3,000,000 in New York but the Red Bulls only pay $2,700,000 of his wages while the league pays the rest).

but in 2011<div>its changes to</div><div><br></div><div>subrta pal- 1.1 crore from club</div><div>gouramangi-1.05 crore from club + 65 lakh from aiff</div><div>sunil chhetri- 90 lakh from club</div>
Bloody hell... notice how this surge happens after we play in the AFC Asian Cup. We were shit there but I guess playing against the likes of Harry Kewell will earn you well.<div><br></div><div>30-50 lakh is where we should ideally be in terms of salary. Its not horrible really.</div>

<br><br>Cost of living in USA is very very high. Cannot just convert dollar to rupees. Purchasing power parity is a better way. A person earning 1000 dollars is equivalent to what we get in 10000 rupees in India-not 60000 rupees. high tax, medical care, transportation, insurance sucks up all the money.<br>
