Since when has the IPT given a rat,s a$$ what we or the players think? Don't you know this is all part of the plan?
IMO, I actually think all the small prizes will be paid out. The larger payout winners will be offered 20% cash [ or so] or a monthly instalment in smaller amounts. This will make the top players even more dependant on the continuation of the IPT.[QUOTE}
This is one of the very likely possibilities that have been suggested so far. It may also be the reason for the current silence from the players, they may be in the middle of negotiating with KT.
The same thought had entered my mind several times and, as Gabber suggested, if KT offered the players a choice between a negotiated settlement (perhaps 20-25%, or monthly payments, or both) and promises to continue the tour, or shutting down the tour and NOT paying anyone, what do you think the players would choose? I think the players would accept a deal rather than have the tour close down.
What would YOU choose? How long before KT would decide to try the same move again?
