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 don’t blame her for long term money she will never get this salary in wnba and let’s 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 she’ll definitely be more than fine. And that’s just Nike, she’s gonna have all kinds of other endorsements. I just think a 8 year deal for 28 million is a little crazy, she’s 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.
It’s 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. 🤔
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 doesn’t even need to play in the WNBA and she’s 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 UA-cam comments sections so either stop being a soft little princess or leave.
Or in four years people still aren’t watching the wnba and her value tanks or maybe she plays like shit, in women’s 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. She’s 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 doesn’t translate and her stocks tumble, then it’s better to get as much as she can right now. And if she’s 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.
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. 🏀💯
I’ve heard that the other offers came with requiring her to play college ball for one more year and she wouldn’t go for that. I believe that she made a great choice 🎉
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 🔥🔥
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
Good for her, I'm glad she's representing Nike.and Kobe. Best choice for her. I hope she puts in sales on all her endorsements. She's the richest female on the WNBA this is why the others hate on her. Jealousy
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 isn’t the only thing these athletes get in a signing. They other incentives and undisclosed bonuses and details that aren’t stated but are given
If you black I don’t understand how you guys keep laughing about it. You already know what reputation we have concerning everything related to se* but y’all keep doing jokes about it.
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.
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.
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.
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)
Should’ve asked more from UA and went w them. But for the men that do buy her shoe, they’d probably be more prone to purchasing a Nike Caitlin Clark rather than a UA
Does she get any percentage if the signature show sales or merch? 28 million seems incredibly low for the 100s of millions she’s gonna make Nike. I definitely would’ve went with a smaller term deal. 4 years max. If she turns into the player and superstar we are all expecting in 3 years she’ll be making Nike so much money, hopefully she has an option to renegotiate at some point, but probably not
@@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.
I think it’s 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. That’s 50-60 years worth of salary for the top paid wnba players who make 500k per year max 😂
She will be forgotten about in prolly 3 years unless she becomes the wnba goat… which isn’t that high of a standard honestly. When it comes to sports greatness
@@noonookinz4560 fr that’s 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
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.
CC deserves more, she is the face of the WNBA and bringing in millions of new viewers like me a middle age white guy 👍🏀🏆 I watched the draft and the Fever preseason press conference
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.
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
Under Armour deal at 4 million a year for 4 years is the best deal.
I'd rather kill myself than wear under armour
Not necessarily. Just For the money, yes..

No, it isn't because WNBA will devalue her significantly. So, you take the biggest and longest term deal in this situation.
@@Hellothere854434I fear you’re right, but let’s see
you take the longer guaranteed deal.. spexially playing the wnba wormhole
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 😂
She took Nike for Kobe. She wanted to rep his brand so she took a deal for less money to get her dream
I don’t blame her for long term money she will never get this salary in wnba and let’s 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

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 isn’t the whole year with a couple months off. That’s no free
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. 🤔

Yeah, UA would have been awesome. But I suppose she wanted that 8 yr security.
She should have gotten 80 million.
Ok but she hasn’t even played yet the glazing is fricking crazy
Stupid people say stupid things
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 wanted that long term deal
The NIKE deal is 8 years.That is a long term deal.
She just literally getting a lot of endorsements just let's you know how popular.🏀
Under Armour deal looks better but I suppose she preferred the security of an 8yr deal from Nike.
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. 🏀💯
Under armour didn't offer her the signature shoe. Only Nike did.
She’s worth everything and more.
Facts
wnba players are going to be so jealous of her.
Nike always gets the big names. I'm sure Jordan sent a text
I’ve heard that the other offers came with requiring her to play college ball for one more year and she wouldn’t go for that. I believe that she made a great choice 🎉
Interesting.Did not know that.
That's cool. Soon as Angel gets that Sketchers deal she'll be up

Everybody making fun of her 76k WNBA salary are mighty quiet 😂
I heard *Crocs* offered a deal and so did *Birkenstock*
She is probably getting many offers.
Either way she making more than all the players combiner
Wanting her to be leading face for Kobe shoe is nasty work smh 🤢
That’s why she didn’t need to play in the Big 3😂
Part of that signature has to be royalty too right?
