Prize Money

**juara** · 07-08-2009, 10:35 PM

Just curious, is there any price for the player who lost in the first round, secound round, third round or quarter final in the IBF's Grandprix?

I know in tennis, even a player lost in the first round, they still get the prize money (only in WTP, ATP tour) not so sure for Satellite or challenger tiers.

For example, you can refer to this site:

Note that the titles in the two tables were switched maybe by accident.

I guess the percentages would be different depending on the tournament.

prize money is peanut compare with the sponsor deals that the top players getting. Lin Dan reportingly earning in the region of 2 million USD in 2008, that's before he won the olympics gold. imagine how many folds increased since then!

You can get the sponsor deals only when you eat a lot of peanuts.

Lee Chong Wei just got another Rm 500,000 endorsement money from 100 Plus, the most popular isotonic drink in Malaysia. As long as you stay on top, more sponsors will sign you on. The money can be BIG !!!

haha, i saw a big billboard with LCW holding a racket and posing on it when i was in malaysia, not sure what advertisement is that

**kinoko** · 08-31-2009, 11:07 AM

well
1. too few players sitting on leather seat, the rest barely survive
2. their productive time is pretty short

i dont know for other countries, but if vita earning that much in a year, thats not much considering once shes retired, no one knows whats gonna happen or IF ANYTHING appreciated after knowing how they run things in indo.

alan and susi managed to created astec which i wish all the best for them. but how many retired players appreciated? have they been supported? or they are considered expired assets? i agree with ctjcad, how many LD LCW TH out there?
