There Is So Much Money Out There It Has Lost Its Value…Or has it?

  • In 1968 the Wimbledon Total Purse was 26,150 Pounds.
  • This year’s Wimbledon Total Purse is 28,100,000 Pounds ($41,050,000).

You think that is amazing, look at the picture below. It is astounding that the second place guy is not bursting out laughing at his little trophy. (If you can’t see his trophy, magnify the picture.)

I’m not saying this is a picture of the Wimbledon winners but it must have been pretty big tournament because the winner with the larger trophy looks like Rod Laver.

Good Afternoon: I don’t know if has lost its value. I do know that I don’t have enough. The sport that amazes me is the NBA as I understand it their salary is guarantee so you a three 65M you get it injured, can’t play you get it-I guess they insure for that and maybe if fired for moral matter, murder, beating your wife you probably don’t get it-It amazes me as even with ticket at 200 face and number of games tickets can’t do it so it has to be tv rights, I don’t know how much that is but no owner has put his team in bankruptcy that I am aware of.
