Only heard rumors about that. Not sure how true they are.
Yes, I am pretty sure I remember him saying it on a podcast. I don’t think it was a realistic offer - I think he offered $1 mil for BASS and got laughed out of the room.
Yes, that's the rumor. But then remembered the saying "why buy the cow when the milk is free" and took a bunch of talented anglers from BASS. Some never to return.
You talking bout that organization that can't even find it's own identity?Originally Posted by NW.Ind.Basser
Interesting, I wonder what BASS is valued at? I'm sure quite a bit more than a million.
Google says est revenue is 25m a year.

That's a lot of entry fees.
Literally a ton.

I didn't know entry fees carried weight.
If that is true then I understand why the pros are asking for higher payouts. Seems like BASS could payout more.
Yeah I am not sure. one says 25 one says 15m.
I have no idea what it costs to make a tv show and all the live stuff and all the other things they put on.

True, It could be more than I'm thinking.
If these pro trails were making a ton of money there would be more of them.
That has always been my thinking. I have done the math on a few of the local big trails. Some look like they make really good money but have none of the overhead BASS does.

They must be profiting a good bit to get laughed out of the room at a million dollar valuation.
Right. And if the trails were making a ton of money, the ones who left to start BPT wouldn’t be paying entry fees.
That's for sure...... The Big Money was made by the first and second ownership of B.A.S.S. especially when Helen and her partners sold it to ESPN.
Even with ESPN having the platform they did to pump up and promote bass fishing like crazy they still lost a bunch of money on it. I would guess they aren't making much after all the expenses are accounted for.

That's a bit of a jump! That number if true is just revenue, you need to look at margin percentage and margin dollars.
