I forgot all about the sanctioning fees. The mens show was $10,000 and the womens was $4,000. Those are the normal numbers. Also, in regards to the spnsorship money. Not counting the Hummer and from what was listed on his poster and website; myself and 3 other very prominent promoters figure the most those sponsors put in equals no more than $80,000. If so then these other guys would be pissed. All the prize money was covered from this. And as you know sponsors don't always pay on time or all of it at once or whatever. Allot of those sposnors listed were not cash sponsors. Do you think any of those magazines paid a dime. I highly doubt more than just a few of the local sponsor gave cash but rather than product. Now the big question is how much VYOtech put in exactly. They provided the 1st place and the Hummer. That right there is a $55,000 investment. I want ot know who paid for the convention center which is definitely the big cost here besides the prze money. Who paid all the travel expenses for Sean, Manion and the judges. They are there for 3 days, plus airfare, plus per diem, plus pay. That adds up too. I just don't se where everything is. Ticket sales at the expo was non-existant. The other shows did they cost money to see. Even if he sold 1000 stickets at an average price of $50 that still just $50,000 plus the center gets there cut usually. But no way in the whole wide world was there 1000 paid tcikets. And unless they pay an unbias accouting firm like Arthur Anderson to keep track and monitor ticket sales then whatever they say will be balloned all out of proportion to make them look good. Which is fine but not real.
Okay off to the gym now I go
