Yep sports is out of hand but people still pay. It's a monster machine for sure.

Make as much as you can, that is the bottom line. It is all about people making money until it is a rich athlete.

Yeah, Tiger's $ is ridiculous, especially for an ethically-challenged scumbag. But, I saw an AMAZING fact about three years ago. It showed all 200+- guys who kept their PGA tour card for the year (didn't have to go back to qualifying school to keep playing on the PGA tour). The last guy on the list, in other words, the worst golfer for the year who stayed on the tour, made $615,000! So guys who made just over $600,000 didn't play well enough to stay on tour. That puts everyone on the tour in the top 1% of American incomes BEFORE endorsements for their ball, driver, irons, wedges, gloves, hat, shirt, shoes, and sometimes sunglasses.

Who is the highest paid pro bass fisherman? What his numbers look like?

[Tim_T]

Kevin VanDam has earned over $4 million in tournament earnings in his career, only 30 anglers in B.A.S.S. have earned over a million. The thing with the top bass pros is the money they make from their sponsors, big names like KVD make six figures working for their sponsors.

Who is the highest paid pro bass fisherman? What his numbers look like?

I saw an article a couple years ago where Skeet was they highest paid pro fisherman. His yearly endorsements were right about $650K. However, that was about 3-4 years ago when I read the article. I'm sure Skeet and KVD are hovering the million dollar mark in sponsorship money now.
