Proof that money was not the main motive for the indian premium league matches?

Question

i have a debate to stress on the point that money was not the main motive of conducting the Indian premium league matches. So i need points and instances to stress my point.

Answer 1

Making money was one of the motive of the IPL, but there was i nice motive behind it also.

The BCCI wanted to improve the standard of the domestic cricket in India which in turn would attract crowd to the cricket field even for a domestic game.

Also it made our domestic circuit global, now everybody in the cricket playing world knows Yousuf Pathan, Ghoni Abhishek Nair, Ojha etc which are domestic players.

So except making money IPL achieved much more.

Answer 2

other points given in by BCCI is

Answer 4

They offered tons of money to Dhoni, Symonds and many other players. If they were after money they would have bought both of them a lot cheaper. If you own a team, win or lose you make money so why pay more money to win? Practically speaking if you play cricket, you win some and lose some so what's the point in buying expensive players?

Answer 5
