Assuming that Nike gets her from head to toe — that would be Nike equipment, Nike clothes, the whole bit — she would have nothing but Swooshes. That's the number she would automatically get from just signing. Overnight, she would get $10 million to $12 million. It depends on how the contract is structured, but that's what I'm hearing. |
Everyone knows there's a black market out there. |
People are paying $30,000 or $40,000 for a used tire that if it was new would cost $20,000. |
She's not just a 15-year-old girl. She's a 15-year-old girl who happens to have striking looks and also happens to be 6-feet tall. Let's face it, for better or for worse and in her case it's better she sticks out from the crowd for lots of reasons. This is all part of the appeal. |
That's when she's going to have to start winning tournaments to have the interest continue. I certainly feel she will be a big-time winner on the women's side. I'm not sure what she'll do if she ever gets on the men's tour full time. If she were 23 right now, and not 15, she would actually be worth less. She's a novelty because of her age. |
