I've always been curious how much skaters get paid to do ice shows and the like. Does anyone have any idea? Savachenko just gave an interview where she said the Japan leg of the Stars on Ice tour offered her and Robin $45k to do nine shows in three cities. Is that pretty par for the course? As an Olympic medalist/world champion, I assume she would get paid more than a skater who isn't, no?
I also assume shows in Asia like Yuna's pay a little more. Stars on Ice in the US and Canada aren't even close to as popular as they were in the 90s and the last US tour I went to in 2012 was only about 60-70% full. I don't even know how SOI in North America manages to break even what with production costs and their big casts.
