Im LivestreamNeymar gambles away a million francs and cries – but was it his money?
PSG star Neymar lost a huge amount of money playing online poker on Thursday. The Brazilian was extremely emotional in the live stream. However, fans are skeptical.
Here’s the scene where Neymar gambles away the money and cries.
That’s what it’s about
-
Neymar is currently injured.
-
The Brazilian is still in the headlines. This because he gambled away one million Swiss francs online.
-
It was also revealed how much the footballer earns at PSG.
A video scene by PSG star Neymar is currently going viral on Twitter. The sequence, which shows an excerpt from the live stream on his Twitch channel, has been shared hundreds of times and viewed millions of times. You can see the Brazilian footballer first crying and then laughing after he has just gambled away around one million Swiss francs playing online poker within the space of an hour.
However, many fans don’t buy the emotional reactions of the currently injured superstar. On Twitter, a majority believes that the Brazilian is “acting”. And indeed there are indications that point to it. The Twitch video is accompanied by the well-known “Titanic” song and when his teammates pointed out that Neymar “went from one million to zero in 60 minutes”, the PSG star joked with a laugh that he “did that put the video on Youtube».
Online casino is sponsor of Neymar
The Brazilian portal “Globo” reports that the money gambled away would not be Neymar’s fortune. The whole thing was a marketing move by the online casino Blaze, according to an adviser to the footballer. Last December, it was announced that Blaze would become the veteran poker player’s 26th personal sponsor. Spicy: Like all casinos on the Internet, the online casino is not permitted at all in France.
But if the one million francs were actually the 31-year-old’s money, Neymar would probably not be bothered by the loss. L’Équipe has published the top wages in Ligue 1. Paris Saint-Germain dominates the rankings. The ten players with the highest wages all play with the leader. Only then does Wissam Ben Yedder, a player from AS Monaco, follow.
That’s how much Breel Embolo collects
Kylian Mbappé is in first place with around 72 million francs per year, followed by Neymar (44.1 million) and Lionel Messi (40.1 million). Breel Embolo collects around 3.2 million francs a year, making him the Swiss who earns the most in Ligue 1.
Kevin Spadanuda (Ajaccio), Jordan Lotomba (Nice), Yvon Mvogo (Lorient), Vincent Sierro (Toulouse) can only dream of earning millions like this. Goalie Mvogo, for example, receives around 840,000 francs a year, ex-Aarau man Spadanuda has to be content with 240,000.
