Federer will top sampras's career prize money

[Hewittseason22]

If federer keeps this rate, He will easily top Sampras's total career prize money
Federer already has made $14,466,783 , Sampras made 43,280,489 in his career. Federer's got about another 10 years left in his career, he's going to top that prize money so easily..
It sucks that Federer and Sampras has played only once and sadly federer won and he has winning record against pete, thats awful. i wanna see a exhibition match between those two i bet you pete will kick his ***

...um, of course he'll get more money! It's called inflation!

 

[zenmaster]

the tourneys give out more money now

 

[R-U-BUSY?]

of course he will...and agassi's kid will win more prize money than Federer. Its called inflation.

I totally agree. With a single slam winning being close to or at $1 million USD these days, it wouldn't be long before a guy who wins 2 or 3 slams makes more money than Pete did after he won 5 or 6 slams.

I haven't done the math, but you can't compare in terms of money -- you have to look at stats.

If it was all up to money, where would Don Budge, Rod Laver and others be these days?
