Max definitely wasn’t making up a hypothetical scenario when he mentioned the Eastern Europe part lol

[@BOZ_11]

Can we talk about how the tournament organisers take more than 85% of the aggregate tennis related income?

[@ririta81]

True it is a big industry

[@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten]

​@@ririta81 What does that have to do with what the OP said?

[@ririta81]

@tijgertjekonijnwordopgegeten I don't know tiger it made me think a lot about the purpose of doing sports. Is it money and being a consumption product or being great and looking for glory.

Why don´t tell to what can go wrong with such "privat investments" ? The majority will go miserable. From 10 high potential with age 12-14 years, 9 won´t get it even with max. support. If you don´t get under ATP 100/130, you will never live completly from your earnings. Look for Henry Squire for example, he has been german champion U16/U17/U18. When I remember back, he played finals of U18 Australian Open in the doubles. He was stuck inbetween ATP 500-800 for 3 years and played german Tennis Bundesliga and some Challenger/Futures, which he won last year 1 or 2 of them. This year he made the qualification of french open, won the first round and lost in a close match to Felix Auger Alliassime what give him his first big salary-check, 2nd round is about > 110.000 $ . In Halle ATP500 with a wild card, he lost against Tsitsipas also in a very close match 6:7/6:7 and is now about ATP 180. Now, after more than 5 years, his "explosion" came and perhaps he is able to live completly from playing as pro. But how many failed on this hard way ?

[@gc8410]

Exactly. If you picked 100 players with 500k at 12 years old and got 20% of future prize money, let alone 20% interest. You’ll still going to be losing money. He is basically saying it has to be pure charity.

I am curious as to why this show has the most consistently boring guests . No pros / former pros / coaches … want to come on? Can you please use the mcafee show as an example of successful programming? You’re ruining the potential of this

[@FelixFelicis968]

I disagree. These guys are fascinating. Maybe just not your cup of tea also we've had Danielle Collins a current successful top 20 pro right now. Former pros Clijsters and James Blake. So either you're trolling or don't actually listen to the podcasts/watch the show.

[@TanNguyen510]

No one want to hear about why Rublev chokes all the time buddy. I love the content this show I pushing.

[@TanNguyen510]

If you want that loud mouth espn ass show. Go there
