All of the players in Premier and Challenger League of MLP have guaranteed contracts.  [b]Plus many make a ton with sponsors, endorsements, etc[/b].   There are only a few of the top pros who still have full time jobs; vast majority are full time pro pickleball. [/quote]

LOL... They don't make as much money as you think.

In 2022, the average PPA pro earned $96,000 in payouts, according to the league.

"The economics are much, much smaller for others who are just getting into the sport," he added. "They're taking sponsorship deals for $500 or $1,000 to be an ambassador of some brand."

96K is not a lot of money when you factor in the cost of travel, room and board.  [/quote]

Those are 2022 numbers. If you are remotely familiar with pro pickleball, you’d know the pro compensation has changed dramatically.  [/quote]

Yes, I am aware about the 2022 stats.  However, I know the person who won the APP tournament in California recently, and her winning prize is 2k, for four days of competition.  [b]She actually lost money after spending on travel, hotel, food, etc...[/quote][/b]

You know you just described 99% of all professional tennis players, right?  I meant that literally...only a handful can even do better than break-even.[/quote]
