what is promised vs what will be delivered.

And it's pretty clear that it's messy each from at least one party each year regardless.

Do you think Egor is really getting $800,000?

I bet this is accurate.

I guarantee it is… Egor is making much more than this

There’s only a handful of people who actually know all the numbers.

I got the sense from your first reply that you were saying it was under 800k.

For AJ, it already went from 7 mil to 4 mil so I would suspect you're right.

Does BYU even pull in $500K in women's basketball ticket revenue?

Indy Coug

Oct 24, 9:18am

I sincerely hope this is not true. The highest paid WNBA player only makes $252,000.

Icecat

If it's $500k, it's probably over 4-5 years meaning that the annual number is

Haha nah, it’s definitely $500k. I’m sure it was over 4 years. She got a lot more than that elsewhere though.

The highest paid WNBA player is making over $30M in endorsement deals.

No they're not. This is silly. A'ja Wilson, Sabrina Ionescu, and Caitlyn Clark

Nah I personally know the girl. As much as you want to refuse to believe it, it's legit.

It's entirely possible. But you don't help your believability with your $30MM

I mean, the $30M claim is true. It's spread over 8 years but he's not wrong.

The 4 number is legit for AJ. But in general I think you're right.

Agreed. These numbers floating around publicly are propped up by player agents.
