Show Me The Money

We liked the InnerView with Hutch, but he, like almost everyone else,
dodged the question about money. So the question of the week is one
for those who have some insight:

What is the going daily rate for pros to go racing? We assume that
guys get package deals for a regatta or an ocean race, but the daily
rate is the one we’re interested in. Last we heard it was around $500,
but there is some thought that guys like Cayard now get between $1,500-$2,000
per day. Can that be true? Talk about overpaid…

Weigh in with what you know, or think on the topic.
