...a lot...
Edit:
I am not sure what he means by 'pagar' but I know "una bola" = a lot
Pagar sounds weird, because as you might know in the black market everything is more expensive, since what's being bought isn't readily available for purchase.

Chileno: ¿puedes explicar más, por favor? No entiendo esa expresion. Gracias.♥ - Daniela2041, Aug 9, 2015
Es que quiere decir, "It's going to take us a long time to pay it off?" - Daniela2041, Aug 9, 2015
O en español "Tardaremos mucho en pagarlo" ¿Es correcto esto? - Daniela2041, Aug 9, 2015
I need to know exactly what it is meants by "pagar", read my edit. - chileno, Aug 10, 2015
I should have supplied the first part of the sentence, "En de dos mil y dos mil, eso vamos a tardar una bola en pagar." Daniela's "long time to pay it off" I think fits best in the context. - EKolbinsky, Aug 10, 2015
You see how important contest is. By providing the full sentence you got a good answer instead of guesses. - gringojrf, Aug 11, 2015
I second "pagar" being in reference to "pay-off". - Kiwaiano, Aug 11, 2015
