Andy Murray Won the US Open, Then Panicked Because He Couldn’t Find His Sponsor’s Watch
Andy Murray won his first Grand Slam title Monday night in thrilling fashion over Novak Djokovic, and the first words out of his mouth, according to the Telegraph, were, “I don’t have my watch.”
“I don’t have it, I don’t have it,” he said, pointing to his wrist and looking up to his girlfriend Kim Sears for help.
“Have you got my watch? I don’t have my watch,” he asked of her, before she helpfully pointed to one of his bags.
According to Business Week, “Murray’s on- and off-court annual earnings are estimated at $12 million, according to Forbes magazine.” Coming off an Olympic title and the US Open win, is it crazy to think Murray could double that figure next year?

He’ll probably get about $5 million alone for his role in Goonies 2.

I don’t know. What were his earnings from endorsements? What generally happens to an athlete’s earnings after winning gold and a Grand Slam title? What happens to their earnings when they win their first Grand Slam title? Seems like a great idea for an article, right? I wonder who we know that is in a position to do that research and put that article together?

that’s really sad…one of the defining achievements of this guy’s career, his first major, and he’s worried about fucking corporate sponsors. i really feel bad for the guy…he couldnt even take the time to enjoy something that obviously meant a ton to him because he was worried about a fucking watch.

counter-counterpoint: he’s a tennis player. his business is tennis, not marketing.

that’s really sad
it isn’t like he donated money to Penn State, Spencer, so it couldn’t be that sad.

I watched the award ceremony. I think they handed him a check for $1,900,000.00. I also appreciate his loyalty to his sponsor.

counter-counter-counterpoint: he makes more money marketing than he does tennising.
