Doug 0 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 If they lose money overall then they are not pro. If they make money and live from it which can include endorsements then they are pro. Link to post Share on other sites
primetime 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 Peyton Manning gets tons of money from his DirecTV Deal, and he still plays football and is considered a pro.

primetime 0 Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 I always thought there was something fishy about that Tiger Woods guy. perfect example....if a pro golfer stops making money..he loses his Tour card. Ty Tryon signed a huge contract from playing golf and he can live on that forever..He lost his TOUR card , is he still a professional if he plays and doesnt make any money from playing?

David_Nicoson 1 Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 I don't think they make millions from books, games, and site endorsments. Most people would never buy a poker book, and of the few who would most won't even make it through the first chapter let alone read it and have the desire to buy another book.
