I heard an interview a few years back from a US Postal spokesman trying to justify the $40M+ they spent on cycling. Didn't make clear if that was annual or if that was aggregate sum of all of the years they were primary sponsor for the team. Unless I heard him incorrectly, he actually boasted of a $7m profit as a direct result of their $40m investment in cycling.
(Did I get that wrong or is that a -87% loss?)
