That Vince Lombardi Trophy isn’t the only thing that players will take home after the game. They are also bringing back lots of money.
Super Bowl ads may cost a lot of money to run, but Super Bowl champions bring home even more. While hoisting up the Vince Lombardi Trophy is every NFL player’s dream, athletes on both the Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers will be bringing home lots of money after Sunday’s game.
Exactly how much money are we talking about?
Players on the winning team of Sunday’s big game in Miami will take home $124,000 each just for participating, according to the collecting bargaining agreement between the NFL and the NFLPA. The agreement specifies just how much each winner and loser will make in each playoff round.
But losing players don’t walk away with nothing– they each take home half at $62,000.
Similiar the World Series, the Super Bowl allocates more money in a tiered structure: the Wild Card game, the Divisional Playoff Game, the Conference Championship game and then the Super Bowl. The more games you win and the further you advance into playoffs, the larger the pool of money is to divide up. G|G
