That's a pretty big EV. We were discussing last night whether there would be any way to chop that.

Very smart of FTP to get this into the media.

Now win or lose people will be discussing the fact that he was a FTP qualifier in all articles about him during the next two days.

AFAIK its a sponsorship fee and not a lump sum payment. In return for the 10 mil he would have to do commercials, print ads, etc. for the next few years.

For 10m I doubt he'll mind.

It is a 10-year, $1 mm/year exclusive promotional and personal services contract. The terms are (or were) on the FT website.

Cheers
