It’s rather insane when you think about it. The rookie max extension has doubled in the past 6-7 years. It used to be $80 million.
ESPN and TNT overpaying for the rights has been good to the NBA and its players lol.
player's union
This.
The NBA is benefitting from a bubble right now that is about to burst unless a new Michael Jordan emerges to generate high ratings once again.
ESPN and TNT are not gonna pay these deals once again if ratings stay as pathetic as they've been the last 2 years.
According to sherdog ufc fighters are only getting 20% of the revenuesThe question should be why do UFC fighters get paid so little when they have PPV events with millions of buys.
They are not unionized and frankly the average mma fighter doesn't seem that smart. The matchmakers are watching them bash their faces in while pocketing millions.
Gotta thank Michael Jordan for globalizing the sport like that man. NBA brings in an insane amount of revenue as a result, coupled with great player representation, in an industry that is EXTREMELY specialized and rigorous to get into...and it makes perfect sense why they get paid what they get paid. Deservingly so, might I add.
Quit pocket watching and go work on ya jump shot nikka

Yeah a combination of both since they came in the same year. Lean more towards MJ tho, gotta remember he was the first athlete going overseas like how you seen nikkas like Kobe or Bron goin to China and all that for them Lil camps and shyt.Most popular person probably in the world, team ran it for a decade etc etc etc...hell if I’m not mistaken even Stern himself done credited Jordan for the expansion of the league. But wateva, point still stands in regards to the opNo... They need to thank David Stern.....
