Average people, no. People most definitely pay to watch olympians. In fact, they spend thousands of dollars to travel across the world to do so.

Whether this can be a career depends on the specific sport.

People travel around the world and pay a lot to see a small handful of big-name sports. The long tail of olympic events is watched mostly by people who came for the big-name sports (or lived there already) and figured they might as well catch something else while they were in town.
