Re: WSOP TV Rights?
In other sports, typically a portion of the TV money is added to the purse and passed on to the participants. I suppose its possible that this may happen at some point or as you suggested perhaps the money that goes to the casino could be eliminated.
Until now I would guess that the fee's paid for the broadcast rights were likely very minimal. But the interest and ratings are certainly on the way up which means we could be talking some substantial cash at some point if not now. If that is the case, in my opinion, the players should definately get a slice of the pie.
