Jimmy Fusco co-produced an event with Grady Mathews back in the 1990's, but I'm not aware of any other events.
Perhaps you mean Allen Hopkins and the SBE.

This video here, shows a very concerned Barry B. describing why Shane is only getting 25 g's for his win at the 2012 US Open.
Considering this video is him after the event has finished, I think it's safe to say that he knows at this point he is not paying the top 6 or whatever it was. So the check he's presenting Shane with, and posing with with a big smile and all... is actually worth just as much as small check he might have given Shane later.
He talks about how he's paying out the bottom of the field, because it's important to reward those people for showing up, and one would tend to think that because he talks about how it used to be 50k for first and now it's only 25k, that he had a handle on how to run a tournament now, and would be actually paying the winners this time.
After hearing this video, you might think of a saying your Mom might have told you when you were younger.
"That's what you get for thinking"
Video of Barry B presenting Shane's check and talking about the money situation. This is before everyone here found out there was money problems... again
