What is your opinions about funny prize moneys in isu grand prix ?
(That discussion started at this thread)
European Champ. Prize money *:
1. $22.000
2. $16.500
3. $11.000
4-10. $3.300
11-24. $2.200
Total Ladies: $103.400
Total Men: $103.400
to contrast with Tennis tournaments total prize *:
Tier III ~$200.000
Tier II >$600.000
Tier 1 > 1.500.000 to 4M
I know FS is not popular as tennis, but difference between prize moneys are incredible.
Evgeni Plushenko says that: “I’ve won all the titles a figure skater can win. But you can’t make much money if you’re an amateur. The prize money in Grand Prix amounts to five thousand U.S. dollars only. And I have a family to support. Therefore, I’ve made a decision to join the professional sport. I will do business, I will take part in some ice shows in Russia and North America,”*
