Two men make $50k to watch the World Cup, with nowhere to hide
In the middle of Times Square, two men watch FIFA World Cup matches from inside a glass enclosed living room. They're getting paid $50,000 (£37,800) to watch every single match and to create content for fans with the rest of their time. The two beat out thousands of others to score this promotional gig from the job site Indeed and the US broadcaster Fox Sports. The BBC's Nada Tawfik spoke with them about the experience.
