How does a male tennis player make more than bball players in endorsements?

[Scottie Drippin]

She is one of the top in her sport but only seeing 18m compared to the top players in football and basketball who seeing twice that. I not denying she's big in her sport but when we talk about globally recognized athletes her scale is rather minute.

Show me all the football players making more than 18m in sponsorship dollars.

Especially show me all the ones making two times as much.

Actually, I get that list for you.































































There are none. Don't confuse contract salary for sponsorship dollars, which is the true measurement of recognization. A-Rod gets basically 30m a year from the Yankees, but only makes about 5m outside of the sport because he just isn't the famous around the country much less the rest of the world. Peyton is the top earning football player away from the field, and despite the fact that it seems like he's in every single commercial on American TV, football players are nothing outside of the U.S. so not even his ad money stacks up to Na's. Perspective, breh.

Rashard Lewis is getting paid 22m by a single team. Li Na got 18m from various companies who want her to represent their brand solely because she's a recognizable figure around the world, mainly throughout Asia aka the most densely populated place on Earth and the place where you were of the belief that no one plays tennis.. No one is paying Rashard Lewis because of how visible he is. Why did this even need to be explained to you?

I know when people are trolling, this cat is not trolling.

How golfers make that kind of money is more crazy to me. Must be the corporate image..How many people watch the sport?

Golfers make money in a variety of ways...they can get endorsement deals from everything from golf balls, clubs, apparel...shyt once you make the cut you getting a check. Not even to mention that a lot of golfers get bread off of appearance fees. I've heard of Tiger getting $5 million just to show up, plus all expenses & room are paid for by the tournament's corporate sponsors. Golfers get PAID, them caddies eatin too (5-10% of their golfers earnings )

you just proved my point. I was talking total earnings. She makes $18m in sponsorship but she made $770,854 from her sport this year. There are athletes making twice her total earnings.

Heres the list you asked for she not even in the top 50!!! Highest-Paid Athletes 2012 – World’s Richest Athletes ‹ The Richest People In The World 2012

Oh and nice try with you wanting me to name only football players cause you know LeBron and Kobe making $40m in endorsements.

Why are you talking total earnings in a thread about endorsement earnings?
