As for taking money from Cuban, this guy made more than $500,000 since the moment the fine was handed down. Besides, I think he came out with his statement that most of the fine is going to Cancer Research in the name of Mrs. Nelson (who is starting her own fight with cancer after Don's fight last year). That PR move alone was worth 500k in advertising.
Just FYI, Cuban's 500k fine goes to the league, what they do with it, I have no idea. He matches his fines in charitable donations, so he gave another 500k to charity, quite a lot of that went to Cancer Research in Mrs. Nelson's name. So it actually cost him a mill, which probably still isn't too much for him. [/B]
You are correct. I messed up on that and didn't bother correcting it because the discussion was moving on the other areas of my post. He said last year (when the total of all fines was about $500k - and matched $ for $) that the money was nothing...he had plenty. Must be nice.
