Problem Statement

In each cell of a table with mm rows and nn columns, where m<nm<n, we put a non-negative real number such that each column contains at least one positive number.
Show that there is a cell with a positive number such that the sum of the numbers in its row is larger than the sum of the numbers in its column.
