PBA Bowlers & Ball Sponsorship
« on: February 05, 2011, 02:27:16 AM »
I'm just curious mostly at what do you think a professional bowler is paid by a ball manufacturer for yearly sponsorship.

Does anyone know what the TV viewership per tournament has been this season compared with the averages between 2000-today.  Am I correct is assuming that the sponsorship money is where the PBA derives the highest portion of its revenue or are there other factors (some are mentioning that ball manufactures are paying the PBA so the players can use their balls - does Louisville Slugger, Mizzuno, Nike have to do this is baseball too?). 
 
Sorry if this is taking the miscellaneous board off-topic but I'm really intrigued by the PBA and the problems and changes that are shaping the new tour.
