Tournament of Champions

that seems like something that is on the border of being unethical. i guess if there are people who willingly enter into the agreement, then it is fine, but in general it seems like taking a free entry into a tournament and then selling pieces of yourself is a bit strange.

i wonder how much she got for 20% of herself? i would assume that they put odds on her winning the event, and that they then calculated the percentages based upon that.

It seems very wrong to sell yourself to family/friends. I mean its one thing to go to a colleague and say "Hey, want a shot at this?", but to run up to daddy is a bit different story...

well the 2+2 post she said she sold 20% of herself which would of been like $40,000 to her friends and family... whats wrong with that? she is giving people she knows and loves a chance to win money and she will still be getting something regardless so its win-win really.

Unless of course she lost, in which case it would hve been lose-lose.

I imagine she sold herself for a discount.... just a guess.

Well...regardless, the rumor thats been going around RGP was she split 50/50 with Helmuth, even though I doubt that for the above reasons.
