This is the Conversation Forum for An Introduction to Sumo - Japan's National Sport << Excellent Chiyonofuji >> Subject: Prize money? Posted Jun 18, 2003 by ColBot   Posting 1 I have often enjoyed a viewing of Sumo on TV (Eurosport German service) without really knowing any of the background, so thanks for a great article. Can you tell me what kind of prize money or other rewards these guys get - and does the envelope the winner receives at the end of the bout have anything to do with this?

I never check these threads!! The top matches have prize money. The banners that are paraded around the ring before a match are those of the sponsors. The envelope does indeed contain the prize money, but it's usually top 15 matches only. sbe Conversation list Most of the content on h2g2 is created by h2g2's Researchers, who are members of the public.
