According to the PBSI official article, it is up to the sponsors to bid for players they want to sponsor for the next 2 years. Look like Yonex have big budget to outbid Victor for Jonatan Christie, Gideon Markus and Kevin Sanjaya, meanwhile Li-Ning targeted and bid for certain players only like Tontowi Ahmad and Liliyana Natsir.
well yonex should have outbid victor for korea, knowing victor's first bid before sponsoring korea was just luck said in a video by VICTOR . wonder whats the problem this time Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
maybe, Korea likes victor alot too imo, since they usually sent technical stuff to cater to all the players. especially LYD Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Well Fernaldi is not in the picture so will he still be in a contract with Victor?? Because I thought some one commented before that he has also changed sponsors hence and thus I was eager to know about which Yonex racquet he will be using. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
i saw his name tho in the article though i dont understand the content Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Only because he is a pro wanted to know about what racquet in the Yonex line up shall suit him only just out of curiosity. And surely it won't affect my choice though Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Yonex will sponsor both Gideon and Kevin for 2 years (options to renew contract). Gideon is using and testing new racket in Djarum Superliga tournament (see pic below), he no longer use Victor MX90 racket.
This era different, last time after London the people that went off were mostly at the end of their playing life, this time round peeps like LYD and WSX still have quite a few good years left in them, hence the massive signing spree I guess...
