Re: Maxim not letting Erin keep her money
[ QUOTE ]
This dude I work with knows Erin Ness, and he is telling me Maxim did not let her keep her prize money. What the hell is that? I'm trying to get more details... [/ QUOTE ] That's pretty cheap ass if true. They should pay her for all the advertising exposure. --Zetack

Re: Maxim not letting Erin keep her money
I'm hearing that the reason why is that they were doing a story on the World Series and just wanted to send one employee as a focal point for the story. Because she was "working" by playing in the tourney, she isn't eligible to keep the money.

Re: Maxim not letting Erin keep her money
She didn't win anything, she broke even (gotta love that payout scheme). She just paid back the entry fee since she did not lose it. Had she actually won any money, I'm sure she'd have been able to keep it, possibly minus any travel expenses put up by Maxim.

[/ QUOTE ] Thats like saying that since Jim McManus was working on an article for Harpers about women in the WSOP and the Binion murder trial while he was playing he shouldn't be able to keep the money he won for taking 5th in 2000. Thats a bunch of bullshit if Maxim actually did that to her. They should be giving her a nice bonus rather than taking money from her.

Re: Maxim not letting Erin keep her money
I could see how they could do that. From the way the announcers described it they said she won an office tournament to play in the tournament. I don't know if this means people from Maxim put up money, or if the magazine was planning on entering someone and made them play for it. Either way, it could make sense why she would only get a cut of the winnings.
