any ways, i do not understand what the whole hullaboo is for IPL putting in money. Earning money is everyone's right and sports is one of them. Not long ago sports was not considered an career option, now atleast some sports rake in some decent money..

There is also this thingie about other sportsperson bemoaning lack of interest in anything other than cricket, but then what prevents the sports bodies of the other sports going the cricket way and pulling in money by building glamour. Would love to have a EPL kind of stuff happen to football and hockey but why blame cricket and BCCI in particular for the mismanagement in other sports... and by the way anyone not interested in cricket or IPL in particular may stay away from watching it. Its not been forcefed down anyone's throat.

so why crib and yes brrrrrrrrr [thats slang for chill]

It will be a success. I can't imagine the branding that goes along with these international stars playing for different team. ICC is thinking of not having other tours during this tournament in the future. That will be a blessing.

Money: yes BCCI has it.
One example: BCCI officials were at NFL(US football League) office to understand how to run a professional league etc last year. One of the after hours parties, the NFL folks were surprised by the money spent by BCCI during evening outing(including minmum 10k$ wines).

In India people are interested in international matches not regional matches even if stars are international. I hope BCCI makes huge losses It is not their money so they dont worry.
