Default Re: How big is winning 5M?

[ QUOTE ]
This is a question for all of you Americans. I live far away from the US, so I'd like to get the proportions of winning 5M$ in a sport event, considering the WSOP as a sport event, of course.

So, how much can an individual win, by taking 1st place in a one, really big tennis/golf/boxing/swimming/squash/chess whatever event? Where does this 5M$ win stand in proportion?

Winning The Masters (golf) is about $1M.
Boxing is probably the only thing listed that can pay comparable purses to $5M.

Swimming/squash pay beans. Don't know about chess.
