"Hey, I know it wasn't great, but what right do you have to complain?"
"As a loyal viewer, I feel they owe me."
"What? They're giving you thousands of hours of entertainment for free. What could they possibly owe you? I mean, if anything, you owe them."
".....Worst coverage ever."

Well the bid Doyle Brunson made for the world poker tour was about 100 mil if I remember correctly.

but the article also stated he had "unspecified backers" or something to that effect

[Aceshigh7]

It was 700 million, and there was no specifics about how much of the offer was Doyle's money and how much was the unspecified "investors".

[FoxwoodsFiend]

One of the better players at the Borgata told me that he is a close personal friend of Phil Ivey's and that Ivey had a bankroll of around $30 million. The guy seemed very credible, but take it for what it's worth.
