Maybe it's the nervous fretting about what a plonker he has been doing the twatter purchase. Or maybe he is getting more finger exercise on his phone.0

He defaults.
You go to court to recover funds.
You win.
Debtor declares bankruptcy
He then hides assets illegally which reduces the amount of recovered funds
He gets charged, tried and convicted after pleading not guilty even though he now admits he was.
Gets paid out for his story due to being convicted of a crime
You might consider if you were a lender of money, the fee for the interview is in the wrong hands.
He’s a disaster magnet. He will be paying out for the rest of his life because of his nature and personality.“Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to cycle and he will realize fishing is stupid and boring”

I basically implied what he said... Becker will pocket the money and waste it within a few months... that money will not bring any particularly joy to the recipient... it is sad... I'm also surprised he got paid so much... I mean, he's not exactly a top celebrity in today's world. He won big over 30 years ago and since then he's done nothing noteworthy, other than commentating Wimbledon... ask someone in their teens or 20s and they don't know who the bloody hell he is.MattFalle said:

Who gives a monkey... the point is that you pay good money to get an interview which in turn can generate good money... sales, revenue by advertising etc.orraloon said:

If (say) Channel 4 was to air Boris Becker exclusive interview, who would go out of their way to watch it, over the latest BBC drama? Is Lidl going to pay extra for their adverts, as opposed to having them aired during the latest episode of the Supervet?
It seems to me he did very well to get £500K out of his fading celebrity status.
I suppose it's the same for Oscar Pistorius, maybe 8 years ago an interview would be worth good money, but now? Who even remembers him?left the forum March 20230 -
Agree to an extent but for anyone over 50 he is still a big name and there is something fascinating about someone who seemed to have it all but who can't help pressing the self destruct button.
I mean yeah I was still surprised he was worth £500k but I don't know the going rate for these things. I guess there's not a lot of additional expense whereas what's a 1 hour drama cost ?[Castle Donington Ladies FC - going up in '22]0 -

695,000 followers on Twitter, no idea what Insta or F'book etc would be but lets guess roughly the same.
25 titles as Djokovic's coach
International pundit
Lets say he's quite well known. In fact, we'll agree that more people in their teens know who he is over, say, Egan Bernal. Or Mrckx.

I doubt he'll waste it. He'll spend it like he wants to, the same you or I would..

You mean one terrestrial channel that makes more off of forgotten 70s police shows?

You are arguing with people who remember when it went from zero coverage to a daily highlights package.ddraver said:

Being in a position when you can flick between channels to avoid commentator is not zero coverage.
Brits are weird that they watch sporting events held in Britain but don’t watch the equivalent events when played abroad0 -
You used the word “zero” and I have seen highlights on more than one terrestrial station.ddraver said:

re autobio - milk. Yeah, like everyone rlse. Can't be duller than the dirge generated by 98% of dports people - at least he's got some stories.
But don't worry - 18 months all this will be forgotten.... Just remember Lee Bowyer and Jonathon Woodgate..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.
