Not even close , plane ticket over to the meet , bundled expense with another meet. Nobody gets a car and driver ( Bolt maybe for a big budget meet ), you get ride from the airport.
Room and in hotel meals. Webb is no longer a draw , he gets a lane because this is a "b" level meet. Might get $300-500 dollars.
Even his Hengelo event is a promotional event offering prize money at about 60%
the "real" invitational events.
Best case he earns about 3 grand this week winning both.
But it seems we all doubt he'll win both.
