Michael Phelps' Weird Endorsement Deal
Michael "Don't Look At The Face" Phelps has $5 million endorsement deals with VISA Inc., Hilton Hotels Corp., AT&T Inc., Kellogg Co., Speedo International Ltd, and…PureSport.
Never heard of PureSport? That's because it didn't even exist 3 years ago.
Before the Golden Boy got gilt, he and 3 teammates agreed to endorse the sports drink based out of Austin, Texas. In Beijing, every time Phelps climbed out of the pool, a coach handed him a bottle of PureSport, and before you know it, everyone wanted some of his magic carbo-protein cocktail.
Now the seven strong company slaps Phelps' face on everything, and the exposure has earned them a spot in sports stores shelves, though they still cannot afford TV or print ads. The company gets Phelps for 7 days out of the year and "books the hell out of him." In return, Phelps gets a 5% cut.
Folks in the know say that the close association with a start-up could mean serious disaster for Phelps' image if the company bombs, so Golden Boy better start working it.
Fortunately, it seems like girlfriend Caz is already a big fan of his protein drink!

Disgusting
hah
Very smart move by the PureSport people and if they do well Phelps 5% could be a nice little payday for him. I don't think his reputation will suffer too much if it all goes pear shaped - he didn't invent the stuff. He's just striking whilst his iron is still hot - so to speak.
EEEW HIS FACE IS FUGLY!!
god fix your teeth please!!!
I don't think he's gunna say no to anything, how many things is he already endorsing? Like 10?
Perez is once again reporting crap incorrectly because Phelps was on THE DAN PATRICK SHOW on Tuesday and cleared up any rumors of him dating anyone.
.
But it's not like Perez does any research on anything other than Madonna or the Jonas Sisters to know when he's wrong anyway.
