Default Which \'TV Pros\' are really broke?

Negreanu made a statement I think in one of his blog entries that I found facinating. He said that many of the so-called TV pros are actually broke, are getting staked in the tournaments you see them in on TV, and couldn't hack it in the big cash games played at Bellagio.

This has the ring of truth to me, but I can't figure out who he might be talking about.

Thoughts?

One thing I'll say.

I think there were alot more broke "pro" poker players 2 years ago than there are now.

Is there a story behind this? I keep hearing about how shitty he is with money but there has to be a good story.
