Thats a massive difference in profits for Ironman.
If you compare Kona one day with Kona two days yes. But look if you compare it with the income of Ironman of all of their 140.6-es.
A two day Kona brings in 2500*1100= 2.7 million $ more than a one day Kona.
There are about 36 Ironmans. Lets say conservatively with 2000 participants per IM. That brings 2000*600*36= 43.2 million $.
So the income of Ironman increases with 2.7 / 43,2 * 100 = 6,25%.
And that I do not call a "massive difference".
This difference even becomes smaller -relatively, as a percentage- if you add all of the 70.3-s and other income of Ironman.
