Re: How much does someone make for being sponsored by a poker site?

Negreanu may be the most marketable player in the game right now, with Ivey and Hellmuth the competition. Educated guess says Daniel gets less than Joe did for his title year but as much or more than Joe now. If I actually knew the numbers though, I wouldn't make the comment.
On why Fossilman doesn't weigh in here, I don't see much incentive for him to tell people what he's making or how it compares to his colleagues.

I think Phil Hellmuth has a way higher Marketing Value than Daniel Negreanu. He is probably the best known poker player around the world + he's got all the records.
I also think Phil Ivey is not thát great for marketing, he might be the best cash game player in the world but for the big public this doesn't mather, WSOP and WPT are way bigger for the common public. I think somoebody like Chris Ferguson might be a lot better for marketing. I think Mike Matusow is really big also, simpley because they're recognizeble, and have more TV time.
