Gazza_8 233 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 CRISTIANO RONALDO will be paid a staggering �£900,000 for three hours' work in a bid to prove he's the world's greatest player. The Portuguese superstar is the latest to sign up for A:3K Football, a �£10million gladiator-style test of skill at the 02 Arena on July 17. Less than a week after the World Cup Final, Ronaldo will battle it out with Steven Gerrard, Didier Drogba, Cesc Fabregas and David Villa in a series of challenges. They include A:3K Attack which sees the players locked in a perspex cage with six goals and two balls, trying to score as many times as possible. The event is expected to be played in front of 15,000 fans at the O2 with ITV showing highlights. David Beckham's former right-hand man, Terry Byrne, has helped organise the event and persuade the world's leading lights to compete. He said: "We can officially confirm that Cristiano Ronaldo will be a competitor in this year's A:3K event. "We have already confirmed that Drogba, Fabregas, Gerrard and Villa will also be competing on that one night at the O2. "One more football superstar will complete the line-up - we expect to be able to confirm that name this week." Apparently the other superstar to be signed up is Kyle Lafferty. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
