Anyone have any accurate details on what the pros are paid from their sponsors?
Not just 1st tier, what about the 2nd and 3rd who are signed up?
Unless you have a copy of the contract (or contracts, as you can get multiple ones - supplement company, magazine company, restaurants, eggs, etc...), you won't know, and it is very hard to find out, as anything regarding that is usually kept quiet.
But yes, the top tier athletes do well over $100K, and the top do very very well.
As for 'second' tier, some do quite well, as well as 'third' tier.
It really matters not where you place sometimes, but what value you give to the company you represent, in terms of publicity, how well you are noticed, speaking, respecting the athletes, and garnering attention for them and the products / items they represent.
