Well, no one wanted it before Vic tried to play the hero... $$$ is everything, isn't it?
I see the headline:
"Games authorities pursuing 'hundreds of millions' in compensation". Sheesh... Hope not! |

When there's smoke, there's fire.
I don't understand how it could cost $6B-7B to host the Games.

Well, Comm Games are not Olympic Games, but for the Olympics even the security cost alone is crazy high:
"Sydney spent $250 million in 2000 while Athens spent over $1.5 billion in 2004, and costs have remained between $1 billion and $2 billion since."
