Brandon Marshall on the Financials of I AM ATHLETE | Funky Friday Clips with Cam Newton

[@urbannuance5151]

I agree with Brandon, simple rules of business. If you didn't invest, your an employee. Sounds like those guys wanted to reep the rewards, without taking the RISK.

[@mjohnson153]

Facts... fool think cuz he flip burgers at McDonald's, give good customer service, clean the restaurant and take care of it he deserve a piece of the company.. no, u get a paycheck for fulfilling your job description. If Brandon putting up all the money and covering their expenses he own the entity no matter what talent or viewers they bring unless a contract says different. Steven A don't have ownership in First take but he is def the talent behind the success of the show. Same thing

[@SummonDRAGOON]

@@mjohnson153 McDonalds is an established business when a cook goes in there to get minimum wage. When you start with 4 dudes to start a McDonald’s for the first time just cause one of the four has the vision, helps establish the business side doesn’t mean the guys who came up with the recipe and helped out with the service guys should get no percent of the company

[@mjohnson153]

@@SummonDRAGOON McDonald's is a franchise which means an individual has to put up money to buy the entity. That makes that person the owner. If u don't buy in you don't get percentages. You simply get paid for services rendered. They were supposed to buy in but they didn't. Instead, they want to put up social currency when Brandon is putting in hard earned $$.

[@Camera728]

​@@mjohnson153 No one was required to commit because there was no formal agreement in place. As the podcast gained momentum, Brandon had the option to reimburse himself for his contributions and distribute shares among all the founders. However, driven by greed, he opted to retain everything for himself. The consequences are evident now, with him being the so called "owner" lamenting financial losses while the former team thrives with one of the top podcasts in the industry.

[@Camera728]

They collectively invested their time and efforts in building the podcast. Brandon had the opportunity to reimburse himself and share the remaining gains with the team. However, driven by greed, he chose to keep everything, resulting in his current financial struggles. Dawg is crying about being in the negative while his former team enjoys the success of having one of the most popular podcasts.

[@awakeandhungry4334]

The show wouldn't have made it without them. That's being proven more and more. What they lacked in up front money they more than made up for in making the channel a success and could've had more in the future.

[@dataengrprospect9207]

I’m with Brandon here. If you are getting paid for a service you don’t deserve ownership. Fuck the naysayers

[@jestenbuckley476]

If u r paying ocho more than Channin u know ur off !! Crowder was the jewel of that show cuz his non filter way !! Remember everyone left !! Also remember Fred did invest and left

[@reddish8692]

Nah, it depends. They'd have made more money together than apart. Plus you can't put a price on a lifelong friendship.

[@Camera728]

They built that podcast together, but Brandon's greed has led to the downfall of his show, while his former team now boasts one of the top podcasts in the industry.

[@yepwhy777]

I dont know man. It seems like everybody keeps leaving B Marsh...that leads me to believe hes not being completely honest 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@Scoot4548]

He’s not lmao. People in these comments are taking this clip and running with it “I’m with Brandon “ lol All the people Brandon he had on his show they’re the problem and he’s not. Should raise some concern

[@koolkids9418]

I don't think it about being honest, you could be honest and someone doesn't like what you said or propose. It more about the communication or understanding that is going on and personal relationships they had and feel untitled to have more money but he mentioned that Ocho deserved more because of what he bring status wide and that true. but I still think Brandon didn't handle the best way but let enjoy both podcasts

[@yepwhy777]

@@koolkids9418 I can't watch IAA anymore. I've tried, but B Marsh was doing too much for me and it seems like he wasn't doing any research prior to guests being on the show IMO.

[@Scoot4548]

@@koolkids9418 this is true

[@koolkids9418]

@@yepwhy777 it seems or you know so, I really think alot people watching the pivot for being bias and previous to that Brandon was new to the space so when we don't allow people to grow and get better, we act like on the pivot they are perfect and do so much research. we gotta but them against each other. Brandon is doing a great job having these one on one with them and seeing the players as human and on the pivot they are balance because they have Ryan Clark if you only had channing the structure would be good because that not his strength.

[@kevinharris3993]

I would like both parties involved to sit down and discuss this because both parties tell two different stories. You don't have to agree, but I think all parties involved love one another. Brandon seems to be hurt and can only be healed when they discuss this like grown men.

[@albundy7623]

I would take the millions I already have and invest in my family. You’ve already got enough. Nothing you do in life should be motivated by money when you’ve been blessed like these guys

[@synista25]

Sounds like he wanted all of them to sign a 360

[@ByGodsGrace99]

😂 NBA Youngboy they ahh

[@cardough550]

😂😂😂

[@irvingtorres5316]

Nahh he wanted employees cause he wanted them to also support house of athlete wich fred and channing but more fred told bmarsh to show paper work so he can match what bmarsh invested.. Bmarsh straight bull crapping in these podcast..

[@leeblanding]

Summary : I wanted to keep 100% of the ownership and short change they ass with salary+profit share , like showtime was doing me, but they were smart enough to know their worth.

[@guccipappi278]

Exactly. The numbers speak for themselves.

[@michaeljackson5790]

Low IQ comment

[@fredrickopiyo3390]

Now, who is popping Brandon and his I am Athlete or Pivot??

[@DB1_Soup]

Y’all realize he said let me finish then and never finished

[@TONYshoutout250]

They only wanted the $ & % of the show when it worked !!! If they had trust in themselves they would've put in like he said.. and he gave them the opportunity to do so right from the start !

[@Scoot4548]

That’s not what happened at all lol

[@MrAWeezy86]

So you're telling me they should have been forced to signoff and invest in Brandon's vision despite not being down for it? They wanted and believed in the PODCAST. Not all the extra stuff Bmarsh was tryna line up. And all of the extra stuff doesn't have any legs without the PODCAST. The PODCAST was the engine and Chan, Fred, and Ocho was what made that engine go, that can't be denied.

[@MrBmajorcotg]

The nuance is that Brandon has this stance when it comes to him, but opposes this stance when it comes to professional athletes and the sports leagues. It's a very ironice situation.

[@urbanchangewithin624]

HE NEVER ANSWERED THE QUESTION

[@LovieandLovelle1975]

❤LOVE ❤

[@spartans231000]

Id like to see him stick a football helmet on that hair

[@fredrickopiyo3390]

Wasn't the company making money??.. Flying, accommodation, meals, attorneys and merchandise is company expenses... Brandon is not being sincere

[@4purs]

Don’t think so they been running it for a year he said he’s down 12mil the podcast didn’t rly start popping until later

[@dcsmokedown91]

This clown really tryna stay popping 😂 pivot on out the limelight

[@carlsmith8143]

Everything was about BRANDON MARSHALL.👀👀🤦🤦🤦😂

[@urbannuance5151]

HE PUT UP THE MONEY!!

[@elizabethgodfrey1033]

Not true! Fred wanted to get a 25% but hadn’t put up shit. Ryan Clark deserted Brandon from the outset after promising him for 1-1/2 yrs. it seems Ryan is the one who first broke the honor bond!

[@CMBtonymontana]

I feel bad for Brandon, look like he got snaked. They didn’t go and build something on their own, it look like they stole the sauce and gave it to ESPN.

[@youngfleat]

Man get the old squad back together

[@mitchy2311]

It's over with. They all moved on while homie 12ms in debt😅

[@Camera728]

for what? so he can keep yelling whenever he's wrong and force them to sign a bad contract? lol
