Methodology:

  1. Live Rugby Tickets set out to discover how much current Rugby players could potentially earn from OnlyFans.

  2. They began by creating a seed list of the top 100 worldwide Rugby players using Rugbypass, which ranks the top 100 players based on their Rugby performance in 2022.

  3. Next, the experts used Social Blade to collect the number of Instagram followers each contestant has. 

  4. Live Rugby Tickets then converted each contestant's Instagram follower count to potential OnlyFans earnings, using a conversion tool from Cam Model agency

  5. This provides a monthly estimated earnings figure based on 8% of an individual's Instagram followers subscribing to their OnlyFans.

  6. Live Rugby Tickets assigned a value of $9.99 to each potential OnlyFans membership. This figure was sourced from a Business Insider article that interviewed one of the platform's top earners.

  7. Monetary figures were calculated in USD ($) and then converted to GBP (£) & EU (€) using the Xe currency converter.

  8. The player's current club earning was compared to potential OnlyFans earnings to determine how much more/less they’d earn if they set up an OnlyFans profile.

  9. All statistics were collected on 17th July 2023 and are correct as of then.
