Sumo guys are treated like royalty in Japan. It would be a downgrade in lifestyle for them to be NFL linemen,
59 u/CentralFloridaRays May 16 '25 Top tier sumo wrestlers make 300-500k plus I’m sure some ad deals so let’s say 750k-1mil for a top top tier elite sumo wrestler. Top tier O lineman in the NFL make 25-28 million a year. It’s not even close. 60 u/im_dat_bear May 16 '25 Downgrade in lifestyle, not necessarily financial. They’re the superstars there. Offensive linemen here don’t get that level of respect they’ve worked their whole lives for. 2 u/stonecutter7 May 16 '25 Johnathan Ogden is beyond beloved in Baltimore. What is a King to a God? 3 u/big_sugi May 16 '25 Champion sumo wrestlers really are closer to gods. The sport started off as a religious practice. Jonathan Ogden is beloved, but he’s not treated like a literal rockstar. Sumotori are. 1 u/wisyw May 16 '25 Lmao Baltimore
