Interesting question for Gwin

So best in the game gets 1/50th of what a pro footballer gets

Interesting question for Gwin

I thought he'd be getting more, tbh. It's a damn shame

[Duane_Bosch]

I thought he'd be getting more, tbh. It's a damn shame

Agreed. For people like us that sounds like a lot. But for the best guy in the sport. That's not nearly enough.

 

As a comparison Jordy Smith who is yet to win a world title earns $2million a year and John John Florence earns $5million. I'd love to know what a mid pack tennis pro makes a year.

Let's not even get started on boxers and MMA fighters...

ja, me too. But when the live coverage is free on the web you know there's not much revenue in it

And I suspect that's gonna escalate...WSL have brought a dude by the name of Joe Carr onboard...he ex-UFC senior exec and played a role in taking UFC to Pay-Per-View's Fight Pass.....no more free web-casting!

[Stretch]

I remember Greg saying that he earns the equivalent of a protea cricket player

[SwissVan]

Sadly yes that sums it up

[Headshot]

greg said you were right: was a rock that caused the wash. and yes, he mentioned your name Myles.

 

however, VitalMTB forensic photography shows the wheel slip by dust evidence

Mmm I agree last time I saw a pattern like that it was from my own front tyre and I didnt get up as quickly as Greg... He was damn lucky he was still walking and talking after that one. I guess its just one of those things - he looks like all his good a fraction of a second before the wheel goes out. Maybe weight distribution was off or he got slightly out of shape as the wheels touched down.
