Former Chelsea star Oscar fined £4,620 for mass brawl - but will earn nearly £3million during eight-match ban

Now you'd think that Oscar - the Brazilian midfielder who used to be seen flitting in and out of Chelsea matches - is most definitely "not that sort of player".

When he was at Stamford Bridge he never used to say boo to any geese, but it seems as though everything has changed for him every since he made the move the Chinese Super League side Shanghai SIPG in December.

The CSL outfit, who are managed by ex-Chelsea and Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas, have seemingly brought out the dark side in the 25-year-old, at least if the huge brawl which happened against Guangzhou R&F at the weekend is anything to go by.

And after inciting the huge fight by blasting the ball at an opponent, Oscar has been fined £4,620 and been banned for eight matches - ruling him out of action for Villas-Boas' side until August 13.

But thanks to his huge wages of £20.8m a year, the midfielder can sit back and watch the money roll in during his enforced time away from the game.
Because according to Bet365, Oscar will earn a staggering £2,971,436 during his 52-day suspension, which amounts to being paid £57,143 a day and means that he can earn enough to pay that £4,620 fine in less than two hours. - Mirror
