Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 2665436, member: 1969"] One of the major problems is that they have to create a "reason" why this is so important to the players. And the reason they have come up with is that the money prize of $9m is so huge. And that legitimately may make them take it very seriously. I think overall that is a turn off to fans. Think of the majors. No one cares that the players are playing for $2 million winning prize. The fedex cup they stress that the winner is making $10million and I am sure it makes the players take it serious;y... that has never really drawn fans. Fans are more concerned how significant the event is to the players, not that they are getting worked up by cash. And with respect to the cash, I really doubt they are guaranteed to make 9 million. I suspect the players like TNT, are partners in the event. If the PPV numbers are great they probably a cut even greater than this If the PPV numbers suck they probably make much less. [/QUOTE]
