Silver Ferns sponsors have joined together to ensure the world champions receive a bonus payment for winning the 2019 Netball World Cup.Sky, ANZ, MYOB and Puma have all contributed to a payment that will see the players receive a bonus of $25,000 each.The payout comes after it was revealed shortly after the Ferns lifted the World Cup trophy in Liverpool on Monday morning that they will not be receiving any prize money from event organisers.It was a stark contrast to the $3 million the Black Caps earned for finishing runners-up in the Cricket World Cup just a week before.Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern was among the many who called on sponsors to consider a payout for the Ferns considering the invaluable exposure that major sponsors received from the national side's efforts."I wouldn't want to call [the sponsors] out but ultimately they're the ones that derive benefit from us being the best on the world stage," Ardern told the The AM Show."I think it should really just be a question for us, 'Does that feel fair'
