what do u guys think players like peter gade and camilla martin get from their sponsered companies. i heard they get 3-6 raquets, many tubes of birdies and huge box full of clothes. that is the cool but does anyone now exactly what their contract gives them. thx for the help!!
I have no clue, but I can tell you that when I had sponsors as a junior I usually received whatever material I needed.. be it clothes or rackets.. there was no limit.. and birdies I didn't need as they were free where I played.. (the club was sponsored).. stil.. that is about 15 years ago.. I'm not sure how things have changed, but I'm pretty sure that Gade / Martin and the like receive whatever they need of material... and then some.. plus a sum of money...
WOW, u got something more than i thought a pro would get. and u were a junior too. so what are the things u got from ur sponsorship.
Rackets, birdies and clothes are actually nothing. I thought the top pros like Gade and Martin will get at least a 6 digits cash endorsment each year.
every pros have different contract with yonex. Free racquets are very insignificant part of the contract.
Compare it to a tennis-pro, then it's nothing. And remember, that a six-digit endorsement includes 100,000 $. That's not that much... (Tho i'm sure Peter Gade gets more than 100,000$). Plus you don't know what the contract-details are, could be that it's a sum to be payed per contract, not per year. Many possibilities here...
