New, news:Jordan’s historic deal with Nike, now Caitlin Clark: How Sonny Vaccaro backs Caitlin Clark as equal to Jordan?
Sonny Vaccaro maintains that Caitlin Clark could have negotiated a contract with Nike that was similar to the ground-breaking one Michael Jordan signed early in his career, and he suggests that Clark could have done so for a significantly higher profit.
Renowned shoe business leader Vaccaro was taken aback by Clark’s comparatively meager 28 million dollars over eight years from Phil Knight’s organization, given his significant part in Jordan’s historic transaction.
According to him, she might have demanded a larger yearly salary as well as a cut of all revenues from Clark-branded goods, similar to what Jordan did with Nike in 1984.
Michael Jordan signed a 2.5 million dollar, five-year contract with Nike on October 26, 1984, which was three times the amount of money that was being offered by any other team in the National Basketball Association. But as was already mentioned, Jordan’s true wealth came from the royalties.
At first, Nike estimated that the original Air Jordan shoe would bring in $3 million in its first three years of sales. However, the shoe exceeded expectations spectacularly, making $126 million at the conclusion of its first year of sales.
Jordan made far more money than his first payment because he obtained a 5 percent royalty on each and every pair of Jordan shoes sold, which is what Vaccaro feels should have happened with Caitlin Clark.
In regards to Caitlin Clark’s Nike contract, what did Vaccaro say?
Vaccaro believes that a number of parties, including Clark’s representatives and other shoe firms who pulled out of the negotiations, should be held accountable for what he perceives as a lost opportunity. This ultimately allowed Nike to present what seemed to be a good bargain for the company.
“They should have negotiated for a share of everything,” Vaccaro, 84, said to TMZ that his deal was similar to Jordan’s.
Even with the apparent failure, Clark doesn’t seem very discouraged by the result. Ultimately, 28 million dollars is a significant number, especially in light of the fact that her WNBA contract for this season only pays for 76,000 dollars.
In addition, the young athlete probably becomes excited about the idea of owning her own unique Nike sneaker.
