Players Salaries: 1989 PBA Season

Since the Players' salaries has been a hot topic these days, this is what the PBA cagers were receiving monthly as it was published on sports magazines way back in 1989.

Among the imports, it was Purefoods' reinforcement who got the largest figures of P136,000.

For the locals, Samboy Lim was said to be receiving P90,000/month although this was denied by the SMB management when it came out, and is slightly receiving a much lower salary than 90K.

While Cayetano Salazar of Anejo had the lowest salary of P 4,000/month

Wow, layo pala ng declared salaries of players nun compared to now...

Yes, I believe si Big J has had other endorsements, and probably receiving more.

natural lng nman un, wla nman msam dun, khit nman ngaun meron dn tnatwaga na mga bonuses and extra perks. kgya ng won games bonuses, tpos pg umabot ng semis and finals ung team may additional bonuses dn mga players tpos pg nag champion pa lalo na mas malaking bonuses natatanggap nla, which is legal in the pba, even nowadays meron tlga nyan at ina-allow nman sa ng pba

with the amount they receive during those days, kita mo naman yung level of plays nila. ilang beses ba na injury si samboy sa halagang 90K? kahit maliit ang sahod nila, binubuhos naman nila sa bawat laro yung perang binabayad sa kanila. unlike ngayon, malaki na sahod nila, pero most of the time eh pa cute lang at ayaw pa masktan ng mga lintek!

Mababa pa naman ang cost of living nun eh, ang pamasahe sa jeep alam ko lower than P1 or baka P1.50 lang.. Sa rate ngayon na P7.50, inflation has grown to about 200%-300% (approximately).. So yung sweldo nila nun, times 2 or times 3 muna (or baka mas mataas pa) bago natin icompare sa value ng pera natin ngayon.. So to speak, tama lang yung salary nila nun.. Madami ka ng luho at approximately P100,000 per month.. Not bad really..

At iadd ko lang pala, P21 lang ang palitan ng US dollar to peso nun..

>Meaning..mas mahal mabuhay ngayon..thanks sir Mon23!

Mura pa bilihin nyan at mababa pa palit ng dollyar for sure
kaya maliit pa ang sweldo

mura pa ang cost of living sa panahon na yan, unlike ngayon lahat mataas na so para sa akin parehas lang yong sahod noon at ngayon.

agreed ... ang pinupunto ko dito yung LEVEL of GAME na pinanonood natin noon. oo nga at 75 centavos ang pamasahe ko noong elementary ako at 1.50 lang ang coke 500 ml, pero kung papipiliin ako ng panonooring era .. doon na ko sa maiikli ang shorts at halos lahat nagpapakamatay sa loose ball. nakakamiss yung duraan at sikuhan under the basket. those were the days, ngayon masyado ginagaya ang NBA.

akala ko tim cone... tim coloso pala ^_^,

Lakas pala magpasahod ng Shell noon...Bobby Parks 121k compared kay Sean Chambers na 40k...tapos si Benjie Paras 75k, almost twice ang sahod kay Jawo...

Bad call for Kelly..:(

nakakagulat mga sweldo nila kung sa ngayon siguro yan pambili lang ng isang jordan shoes haha

sa pagkaka alam ko un sahod ni Jawo ay puro investment sa negosyo at hindi cash..

ginamit lng ni Jawo un utak nya n mas malaki pakinabang if share ng company ang pagtutuunan ng pansin kesa sa monthly income bilang player that time

Mukhang SMB players ang maliit ang suweldo, sa mga perks at benefits siguro nila ang malaki. "The Director" 17K lng pala noon...

ANEJO pla ang pinakamamabang magpasahod noong 1989 season..

PBA player pala dati si Michael Phelps. hehehe

mas malaki pa ang sweldo ni caidic kesa kay jawo dati ah..:)heheh

- Wow, Benjie Paras as the Top earner among all those players.

Malaki naman yang sweldo na yan dati halos katumbas ngayon...pero magkano kaya ang minimum pay ng player sa PBA, aabot din ba ng 100K per month!
