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

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

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.

that’s really sad

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

I know it’s my fault for reading Dan Shanoff for any reason, but good lord this was dumb:

That is the only way to grasp the roadblock in front of Andy Murray during his prime: Roger Federer, only the greatest tennis player of all time. Rafa Nadal, probably in the Top 5 all-time (if not Top 3). Novak Djokovic, who will probably finish his career in the Top 3 and is at his peak right now.

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.

Shoulda just splayed logos across his shirt and shorts, then thrown on a ball cap while drinking a Gatorade (or Coke or Pepsi).

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?

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.
