Professional sculling in England faces dwindling backing
The London Sportsman notes a revival of professional sculling fading due to scarce backers, high costs, and competition from other sports. It argues gate money and steamboat fees deter entrants, with potential scullers needing 50 to 60 pounds for gear and training before a race. It compares boxing’s purse dynamics to sculling’s harder financial path.
