Lil Wayne Starts A Sports Management Company, Signs Soccer Star Cristiano Ronaldo
From hip-hop, to skateboarding, to soccer; Lil Wayne has got it all covered. According to TMZ,
Weezy has started a new sports management company and has signed the
world’s biggest soccer star, Cristiano Ronaldo, as his first client. The
decision to make his first client an international one is a risky
endeavor as Wayne will have to tap into a new market and demographic in
Europe.
Wayne will apparently handle Ronaldo’s
endorsements, marketing, branding and more. Ronaldo is a marketing
machine and earned $22 million in endorsements last year, making him the
highest paid soccer player in the world. The new sports management
company will work with PolarisSports—which is affiliated with CAA
Sports—the group that handled the contract negotiations for Jay Z’s Roc
Nation Sports.
Ronaldo is yet to confirm the signing but
did release a picture of himself and the Prime Minister of Japan
throwing up the YMCMB sign on Twitter:
