chester97 0 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 I don't know anything about what their contracts are but if you make a televised final table a lot of companies will try and get you to wear their gear and pay $10,000 for it. I suspect more for something like the main event.Markso far this is the only one i will believe, considering he actually made a final table yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites

benhoug 0 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 This is from Mike Paulie's latest entry on Pokerpages.com:Last year when Minh Ly lost heads up to Doyle Brunson's 10th bracelet, (That's me you can see over Doyle's shoulder on TV) Minh not only got second place money but an extra $50,000 for wearing a Doyle's Room logo shirt on the telecast. SWEET!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Ron_Mexico 4,230 Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 well , considering the huge boom of online poker, and poker in general, its proven to be a billion dollar industry.compare that with something like Golf, and Tiger woods who was getting paid 90 million over 5 years for endorsments from Nike, Titleist and amercan express.obviously poker pro's wouldnt be as much, but someone like Brian Balsbaugh poker agent, needs to feed his kids too., so i doubt they settle for little when it comes to the big namesohh, hey, I think you dropped something, let me help you pick that up.they make millions, if not billions.

Jam-Fly 8 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Well, some pros get paid 10k or so for wearing a hat at the final table of an event. But people like Lederer, who own part of FT would get alot more. I dont really know, but Hellmuth mentioned numbers as high as 100million, but he is in the more businesses than just online poker Link to post Share on other sites
Wandigo 1 Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 I read an interview with Raymer regarding the fact that he quit his job as a lawyer after he won WSOP.He said that he did not quit his job because he won the WSOP and could afford to do so. He quit is job because Poker Stars paid him more than his previous salary to endorse and represent Poker Stars.I think winning millions in the WSOP had a little something to do with it...
