Not necessarily. Just For the money, yes.. BUT, Nike has Much more influence⊠So just the fact that her face is going to be in Nike Ads for the next 8 years, will give her Much more exposure than the under armor deal would, since Nike is much more popular & the deal is for twice as long, which will therefore give her more exposure to secure More deals with More companies over the next 8 years.
I donât blame her for long term money she will never get this salary in wnba and letâs say she gets hurt or her hype dies down she will still have that annual 3 million a year and if she invest her money right she will be fine
Yeah sheâll definitely be more than fine. And thatâs just Nike, sheâs gonna have all kinds of other endorsements. I just think a 8 year deal for 28 million is a little crazy, sheâs gonna be way more valuable
Yall the U.A. Deal WASNT the best one. Her team chose right for her. Because just the fact that her face is going to be in Nike Ads for the next 8 years, will give her Much more exposure than the under armor deal would, since Nike is much more popular & the deal is for twice as long, which will therefore give her more exposure to secure More deals with More companies over the next 8 years.
Itâs probably not guaranteed but that would be an extra 3 mill if she fulfilled all of her obligations for almost a decade. People have no sense of business acumen.
So she lost $500K per year and got locked into a 8 year deal (she'll be 30 then) instead of a 4 year deal, where she could've probably commanded her real value in her prime. đ€
You're right she could command her REAL VALUE in her prime...all 100 dollars of it lol. Caitlin knows the deal, Rob the bank while the robbing is good because this is the biggest payday she will EVER see.
Bro you make less than 50 k a year why are you counting her millions of dollars .. This is just one deal of many sponsorships she has Caitlin doesnât even need to play in the WNBA and sheâs done more for the game since they opened in 1997
@Anthony-ky2ct one can say why are you counting the other persons dollars. This is a hamster wheel that will never stop spinning. At the end of the day she ain't paying any bills in the CZcams comments sections so either stop being a soft little princess or leave.
Or in four years people still arenât watching the wnba and her value tanks or maybe she plays like shit, in womenâs basketball take the guaranteed money
She really shoulda took the under armour deal. Steph will be retired in 4 years and she would be set up to sign again and would be the face of the company. Could be a 10 yr 100M deal at that point. And she would be branded along with Steph. The most like-able super star. Sheâs trippin. Nike will bail if shit gets tough for her. Bad advice in my opinion.
Wrong, she can renegotiate down the road if she can sustain her popularity in the WNBA and play at that high level. But if her game doesnât translate and her stocks tumble, then itâs better to get as much as she can right now. And if sheâs not happy with the extension later on, she can still jump ship like a lot of NBA stars have.
just the fact that her face is going to be in Nike Ads for the next 8 years, will give her Much more exposure than the under armor deal would, since Nike is much more popular & the deal is for twice as long, which will therefore give her more exposure to secure More deals with More companies over the next 8 years.
Iâve heard that the other offers came with requiring her to play college ball for one more year and she wouldnât go for that. I believe that she made a great choice đ
Anybody that knows Kobe knows how much he pushed woman's ball forward and he would love seeing a woman as good as CC be the female face of his brand đ„đ„
Nike is the best deal. The "Signature Shoe" gives her additional money on product sales. That's 8 years of building her brand and selling shoes while playing in them. The ceiling is MUCH higher with the Nike contract.
Under Armor was the best offer. 1, she would have displayed independent thinking, and (2) it was the better monetary offer. I love this girl, but I hate she went with Nike just because Nike is the bigger name.
I am happy for her. I accept the best deal with the best footwear company in the world. They will give her her own sneaker and if she does well, I know what she will do. So she will retire and the new generations will continue wearing her sneakers. Curry is a living legend. but I made a bad decision due to mistakes they made in the presentation, who cares, blessings to everyone
Maybe she just chose the shoe she likes, has worn, wants to wear, and comfortable playing in. Regardless, anyone implying the Nike deal was less valuable than any of the other offers do not understand business. There is much more to consider rather than making your speculations.
I think if Under Armour went more years she would have taken it. Hard to pass up the Kobe line plus your own signature shoe. She is worth every penny. đđŻ
That's great she carrying on the legacy of Kobe!! Can't wait to see her shoe...hope they really put thought and a great design to one of the first women sneakers. Should have a 3 somewhere on it...
Yall gotta realize that money isnât the only thing these athletes get in a signing. They other incentives and undisclosed bonuses and details that arenât stated but are given
This is a smart deal because her value was huge in the NCAA, but will go down sadly in the WNBA. NCAA final viewership: 10mil, WNBA final viewership: 800k (most watched in 20 years)
Shouldâve asked more from UA and went w them. But for the men that do buy her shoe, theyâd probably be more prone to purchasing a Nike Caitlin Clark rather than a UA
I think itâs a good deal but she could have bet on herself by signing shorter term and renegotiating if/once her legacy and popularity grow. People will legit be watching wnba for the first time because of her if she starts dropping 40 every other week and her shoes sell well the 28m will be way under her commercial value. I guess she did play it safe though incase of injury or anything bad. Thatâs 50-60 years worth of salary for the top paid wnba players who make 500k per year max đ
If you black I donât understand how you guys keep laughing about it. You already know what reputation we have concerning everything related to se* but yâall keep doing jokes about it.
@@anon2414 Lebron is probably the greatest example of getting an insane amount of money before ever playing their first game. That gamble definitely paid off.
It's okay, just because she doesn't have a penis doesn't mean that the world is ending. Time will show who she is sure enough. And if she doesn't do well we all can have a good laugh and move on.
She will be forgotten about in prolly 3 years unless she becomes the wnba goat⊠which isnât that high of a standard honestly. When it comes to sports greatness
@@noonookinz4560 fr thatâs why I am glad she took long money for her sake she going to get 3 million regardless unless she do something really stupid to get her endorsement deal terminated
Does she get any percentage if the signature show sales or merch? 28 million seems incredibly low for the 100s of millions sheâs gonna make Nike. I definitely wouldâve went with a smaller term deal. 4 years max. If she turns into the player and superstar we are all expecting in 3 years sheâll be making Nike so much money, hopefully she has an option to renegotiate at some point, but probably not
CC deserves more, she is the face of the WNBA and bringing in millions of new viewers like me a middle age white guy đđđ I watched the draft and the Fever preseason press conference
Nobody buys womans bball shoes. That might change with clark but all the deals are an overpay. Not much risk for a billion dollar company either. If i was clark id take the biggest bag and run
How is she getting what she deserves? Wtf has she done? She has zero trophies or hardware to show that âshe deserves itâ. Meanwhile you got players have ACTUALLY COMPETED IN THE W. Players who have won mvps, fmvp, dpoy in one year and still donât have shoe. But because she can shoot from anywhere, she deserves this? The first white player to get a shoe without ever winning meaningful basketball. I mean itâs be hard to even find a guy player who can say they never won anything and has a shoe ON TOP OF being the face of mamba!
Maybe she can pay the WNBA salaries instead of the entire league being in the negative every year, and taking money fron NBA to pay all those salaries. You never hear any of those women ever in interviews say thanks to the NBA players....ever. I wont be watching.
Nike gon sell off the logo! I would go nike too! Nike does so much! I would want something like Iverson had with reebok! 30 years later 50 million or close to it.

No, it isn't because WNBA will devalue her significantly. So, you take the biggest and longest term deal in this situation.
@@Hellothere854434I fear youâre right, but letâs see
you take the longer guaranteed deal.. spexially playing the wnba wormhole
She took Nike for Kobe. She wanted to rep his brand so she took a deal for less money to get her dream
Set for life if she manage her money , definitely richest wnba player ever
That's only one deal.Who knows how many more she will get.
Trust....won't last long đ

â@@wubbied4575chill bro.
â@@wubbied4575đđđđđ I'm dying.đđđđđđ
Then start sending money to the WNBA, they are paid off the revenue the WNBA generates.
~80k right out of college is extremely competitive especially for a job that isnât the whole year with a couple months off. Thatâs no free

She should have gotten 80 million.
She just literally getting a lot of endorsements just let's you know how popular.đ
She about to make more money than the whole wnba put together with just 1 shoe deal lol
She probably has incentives based on sales of shoe, plus Nike will market her, when was last time you saw an UA Steph commercial on TV
She really shoulda took the under armour deal. Steph will be retired in 4 years and she would be set up to sign again and would be the face of the company. Could be a 10 yr 100M deal at that point. And she would be branded along with Steph. The most like-able super star. Sheâs trippin. Nike will bail if shit gets tough for her. Bad advice in my opinion.
She shouldnât take advice from someone who signed a contract to make less than 50 k a year

@mr_anderson143 IT'S NIKE!
You don't turn down the opportunity to work with them in sports

Yeah, UA would have been awesome. But I suppose she wanted that 8 yr security.
wnba players are going to be so jealous of her.
Under Armour deal looks better but I suppose she preferred the security of an 8yr deal from Nike.
Iâve heard that the other offers came with requiring her to play college ball for one more year and she wouldnât go for that. I believe that she made a great choice đ

Caitlin looks just like Burt from Burt and ernie
It's interesting that companies will pay so much on a chance that a rookie will be just as good or better in the NBA/WNBA then they played in college.
Itâs not about how good they are. She has star quality and influence in addition to her skill. The influence is what these companies are paying for.
Yup and Jordan talking ish about LeBron after LeBron got his huge Nike deal when Jordan himself took a deal before even playing in an NBA also.
@@queendeche4555 Understood, but star quality and influence can also change depending on how well she plays as a pro.

And WNBA dudes are mad đ
Thatâs lowkey mad low for her , she should have asked for more
The deal is for $28 million.She will be making far more,than any other player in the WNBA.
Sheâs a woman, her prime is now, she got the bag, congratulations!

The fact that she was pitched as being the female face of Kobe Bryantâs shoe line is laughable and itâs honestly a disgrace

She said she looks like Anne Hathaway lol
Everyone acting like they the expert whoâs been offered million dollar deals and knows what to do. Yâall poor just stfu
