So you think the promoter spent the money to fly in SVB, Shaw and Sky. Then paid JJ, Incardona, and CJ to do commentary for 3 days. Spent money on posters and advertising just to make money on pay per view and it not be an actual match? You think SVB and Shaw are down for "money grab streams"? I know SVB doesn't need the money and I would guess that Shaw doesn't either. Both of these guys can make money legit without being part of this hustle you speak of. How much could the promoter possibly pay them enough to do a "money grab" and the promoter still make a profit?
I’m not going to get into specific names. But I do know that getting paid $1000 or $2000 a day or more is pretty good money in this country - no matter how rich someone is or how rich you think they are.
And I’ve heard (seen the texts and PMs) the ppv promoter offering $8k on more than one occasion to players to be on the stream. $3k a day —- that’s only a million dollar a year salary. Yep no pool player would get up and play simply for that.
