I've seen this thing where people paid to fill a stadium to watch dudes throw a rubber ball into a metal ring. They did it over and over again and everybody got all excited about it.
So does high pressure welding, being a surgeon, pilot, watch maker, and dozens if not hundreds of other more necessary careers.
Someone plays baseball for 6 years of school goes pro starts making 30k a game couple years later they are making 600k a game. There are thousands of other people who have necessary skills and dedication and help the world function that even 30k a month of 6 day a week 14hr days would be more appropriate.
Folks are making money off this though, just like folks do on youtube and tictoc and sports. You think the athletes pay comes from the seat sales? Television, radio, sponsorship ads, cameos and endorsements, selling merch etc.
