And they weren't even the best paid athletes.
Six day bike riders got 100 a day for beginners up to 1000 a day for the top star just after 1898. By the 20's it was higher, especially if the crowd put up some nice sprint prizes, which could often be $200. Alf Goullet and his partner earned 50K on the last day alone on 1921, and got a 10K appearance fee for his last race in 1925.
