50K for first place. I think that a lot of guys got an appearance fee to make the trip over. Who teh fuck wants to fly to India to do a bbing show? Its not exactly the hot bed of bbing. IMO, most guys would have been better off doing the ASC in Spain. Payday is MUCH better
most asian countries incl India are very important for marketing purposes, although there is lots of poverty, theres also a lot of disposable income, indian men are very obssessed with masculinity, malaysia, china, etc are other countries where football(soccer) teams and F1 are looking to expand their markets, also arab countries and russia(and the former soviet republics), russia has a lot of money probs, but also a lot of disposable income
bbing is not f1 nor football, but its clever marketing
