From a fan stand point it seems pretty ridicules to watch millionaires argue with billionaires about contract disputes, when most fans are barely making $40-50 grand a year. But when you view a situation like the New York Jets and Darrell Revis hold out from a business positions, one can understand a player of his caliber taking a stance and demanding more money. In the defense of the professional athlete (especially NFL players who’s contracts are not guaranteed), they have to get all the can while they can because the average career is short lived. Inaddition, these team owners are making tons of money off of these players so they deserve a fair compensation in relationship to the revenues they are capable of generating.
In the video above LeCharles Bentley doesn’t blame the Jets’ Darrelle Revis one bit for holding out and he explains why, check it out.

Even though she isn’t the toped ranked tennis player Maria Sharapova still is the most bankable woman athlete in the world according to Forbes. Grossing $24million last year, Sharapova is rivaling many of the top paid male athletes; check it out:
The U.S. Open kicks off at the end of August, and the world’s best female tennis players will compete for the final Grand Slam title of the year. But the real action is off the court, as these women jockey for lucrative endorsement deals with apparel, shoe and racket companies.
Serena Williams may be the No. 1-ranked player, but she can not match the earnings power of Maria Sharapova. Thanks to a bevy of endorsements with blue chip companies like Nike, Sony, Ericsson, and Tiffany, Sharapova pulled in $24.5 million over the past year, making her the highest-paid female athlete in the world. She earned $1 million from prize money, with the rest derived from endorsements and appearance fees.
Sharapova has struggled in recent years on the court with injuries, but has bounced back in 2010 with two tourney wins. She also signed a massive eight-year deal with Nike at the beginning of the year that could be worth as much as $70 million. The deal provides royalties from her own tennis line, as well as a line of bags and shoes through Nike subsidiary Cole Haan.

There’s been a lot of negative thing said about Lebron James and his lack of loyalty to Cleveland Cavs since his decision to sign with the Miami Heat. One thing that has yet to be said is that for him to put his closest friends in a position to manage his brand at such a young age and keep all the checks in the family, how much more loyal can you get. Here is an interview from Inc with Maverick Carter, Lebron’s friend and business partner discussing managing the Lebron Brand, check it out:
In 2006, NBA star LeBron James launched a marketing company, LRMR Innovative Marketing & Branding, and tapped Maverick Carter, a former high school teammate who was then just 24, to run it. The business helps James sign up and work with corporate sponsors such as State Farm and McDonald’s. Carter spoke with senior reporter Jason Del Rey about what it’s like to manage the brand that is LeBron James.
When LRMR was founded, some observers suggested that LeBron shouldn’t put a friend in charge. What was your take on that?
You know, Bill Gates and Paul Allen, they were friends, and they started their business together, and it wasn’t a big deal. But obviously LeBron is a high-profile guy, and the nature of the sports business is that when a young athlete turns pro, he hires an agent who’s been in the business forever, and if he does anything different than that, there will be an uproar.
