I'm sure we'll get some inside info here, but I'd guess around
$100,000 for the big guns.
Interestingly, I might have given the same answer 30 years
ago - 1981, probably jai-alai's high water mark.
Of course, $100,000 in 1981 would be about $250,000 in today's
dollars. You can see how much the compensation has fallen.
