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.  She actually lost money after spending on travel, hotel, food, etc...[/quote]
