One of the biggest problems is when athletes take all their childhood friends along for the ride, and justify it by giving them "jobs" as part of the entourage. A lot of athletes don't come from the best neighborhoods or financially savvy households, and those friends that influence them every day might be even worse at managing money than they are. I remember Andre Rison saying in one of the 30 for 30 films on ESPN, "at one point, I was paying cell phone bills for 40 people". Andre made over 20 million in his career. He is now worth 250k.

[@SpencerCornelia]

I remember that moment for how real it felt. He probably was paying more than just the phone bill too

Ja Morant is the perfect example of someone disconnected from reality and undeserving of the opportunities that came their way. The guy got caught with a gun, got a slap on the wrist then did it again. Imagine having a 200 Million $$ contract setting up your entire family and multiple generations for life and you're risking it because you want to feel like a gang member on social media. Its unbelievable. Mind you this is a kid that came from the suburbs and had a very comfortable upbringing - he only started to act tough after being in the NBA

Ja lost about $40M from the first suspension. He had a clause in his contract that if he had made the all-nba teams in the 22-23 year his contract would go from $192M to $231M. He missed the all-NBA team, likely because of his off-court actions, causing him to not get the extra $39M.

It's easy. I remember when I was making 1k per day doing dropshipping. I was 24 yours old, and after 6 months, I thought I had so much money that it would be hard to spend it. I got cocky, I stopped working on my store, and I took a 1-year long vacation. It took me over a year with my spending habits to waste everything. I was broke and started working at the construction site. That was a huge lesson in my life. And with athletes and more significant sums, it's obvious how it will end.

I grew up in College Station and can say he was always a prick while there in college. He always acted like everybody should give him everything and deserved it all. I said ti then and still say it. He was a mid tier college QB saved by a solid team and WR's like Mike Evans making him look better then he actually was when it came to doing anything other then running around.

[@SAsh-zg6ln]

Nah u can’t deny his winning mentality in college and he was elusive af with his feet. And of course he’s going to be cocky when the whole world wants a piece of him. We were all in college once, and I can’t imagine what I would’ve done if I had all that fame basically overnight. I think if NIL existed when he was in school, he would’ve been able to make enough money to be set for life even without playing in the NFL. Could he have done better? Of course. But that’s easier said than done

[@PaulSman123]

@@SAsh-zg6ln so I am a bit older then him but partied in college station a good amount and know a bunch of people there still.

I feel bad that he had the problems he had emotionally but he def never did himself any good and at some point you have to take responsibility for your own actions.

[@SAsh-zg6ln]

@@PaulSman123 true but that’s typical behavior of someone who’s been hoisted to the top and is still young and immature. This is why we have to respect young ones who even at their top are still humble. Also, you said he would act like this after drinking which makes even more sense. Not saying it’s ok for him to do that shit but the kid was getting everything he wanted so of course he felt like he can get away with it. I def agree that his attitude is what led to his demise and I think he takes responsibility now. At least that’s what the Netflix documentary shows. Hope college athletes learn from his story.

I’m pretty sure options 2 & 3 would’ve costed you a few thousand; compared to a 100k watch being stolen. Julio Jones just isn’t bright! Who wears 6 figure earrings to a lake?

[@Harcorwrestler]

Sports are not a “get rich quick” program. Anything that is considered get rich quick starts with an idea and to consider it “get rich quick”, well you have to get rich quick, like maybe within the year of the idea. These athletes start this idea of being a professional athlete at age 7 or 8. It will take them 10-15 years to see any financial wealth. For those 10 years, you have to work your butt off and grind and dedicate everyday and forgo hanging out, going to parties, living a normal life. That’s not considered “get rich quick”. That’s the opposite of “get rich quick”

[@SpencerCornelia]

They’re multi millionaires on their first paycheck

[@Harcorwrestler]

@@SpencerCornelia true but considering how long it takes for them to get there from idea to the contract, it’s years in the making. It’s not like they woke up one day, had an idea of a way to make money quick by becoming a professional athlete, and then made it happen. That doesn’t happen. Sports are different.

[@SpencerCornelia]

I understand your point and yes technically they didn't start playing sports right before their contract. my point was that everyone plays school until their first job. Athletes get rich overnight. In Manziel's case, his first contract guaranteed $4mm+ making him a multi millionaire the first day he began his first job. There's not many jobs/careers that hand you multiple millions of dollars before you begin.

Invest first is the key. If these guys invested that $50M+ they couldn’t easily and conservatively being in $200K per month in passive income without even trying. And then the original $50M principal would continue to grow via appreciation. You could live pretty lavishly off of $200K per month..

Long time subscriber Spence. I’m also a big UFC/MMA fan. The fact that you didn’t even come close to pronouncing Jared Cannonier, the number 4 Middle weight in the organization-Not the world-who is also 39 and has been in the game since 2011 is a HUGE reason why he hasn’t made more money. As the now infamous quote from Dana White goes, “he’s not a needle mover”. But you know who is a needle mover? That was rhetorical, because I already know you know who they are. And they get paid like it. Because they bring people in. Not to mention the UFC isn’t the only game in town. Bellator and PFL are also organizations that have clout and TV deals. Are the fighters too stupid to sign with other promotions? Their contracts arnt anywhere near lead pipe locked as boxing. The ufc has been accused to exploiting fighters for years! So tons of fighters have had the opportunity to sign elsewhere or never sign. The last thing I’d like to say is that the WBC #4 middle weight Maciej Sulecki a guy you have never heard of 6 years younger than Jarrod, who HAS won a title has a net worth of 1.5 million.

[@SpencerCornelia]

There’s no such thing as being overpaid, especially in a salary cap league

[@jimbojones9118]

​@SpencerCornelia there isn't? I completely disagree, the math would be hard to determine but possible - it would be a percentage of how much money the team makes vs their salary. Some athletes are underpaid and some overpaid, all depends on how much they bring in to the team. It's the main reason teams will still overpay washed up superstars, because their brand name brings eyes and fans to the game.

[@SpencerCornelia]

if you want to get technical, then I'm sure we can find examples of 7th men on an NBA roster pulling $10 million a year scoring 2 points a night. Ben Simmons is obviously the best comeback. But when people say "overpaid" they're almost always referring to people making $30mm+ a year (the stars). Even the "stars" that underperform are still the main attraction for a multi billion dollar organization pulling in multiple 9 figures a year through merchandise, ticket sales, tv ad revenue....generally mostly driven by the stars. this post was mostly referring to NBA. other sports would be a little more nuanced.

Yea lol that made me cringe. You can tell this guy doesn't watch UFC or know anything about it...if he did then he'd also know that mid-tier fighters, especially ones with boring fighting styles don't bring fans and eyes to the sport - it's all about the top guys that sell PPVs.

I’m a casual. And mispronouncing names leads to more engagement so I stopped caring. If I get it wrong - more engagement
