Shohei Ohtani’s “secondary income” is over 15.3 billion yen a year, up 5 billion yen from the estimate at the start of the season, according to a US reporter. Dodgers pitcher Shohei Ohtani’s “secondary income” is attracting attention from the US media. Ken Rosenthal, a talented reporter for The Athletic, wrote an article focusing on sponsorship deals. They point out that this could exceed $100 million (about 15.3 billion yen) per year. In March, before the start of the season, American media outlet Sportico estimated Ohtani’s sponsorship contract to be worth $65 million (approximately 9.99 billion yen). After that, there was the issue of former interpreter Mizuhara Ippei being sued, but Ohtani’s momentum shows no sign of stopping. “Ohtani’s position has become even stronger, with his endorsement deals approaching $100 million a year and potentially even exceeding that figure, according to an industry source familiar with his income.” Ohtani joined the Dodgers in December last year for a 10-year deal worth $700 million in total. It was the largest contract in major league history, but the majority of it, 97%, or $680 million (approximately 104.6 billion yen), was to be paid after the contract expired. Rosenthal even points out that “he knew that moving to the Dodgers would only mean more sponsorship deals.”

>>17 Even though baseball pays so much, kids still play soccer instead of baseball. How boring is baseball?😂 After all, what makes athletes attractive is the sport, not the money. Baseball is such a boring sport that it’s been removed from the Olympics. That’s all there is to it.
>>25>>27 For the sake of their interests, they pretended that Otani hadn’t gambled lol The Abenomask contractors are also included lol It’s possible that Otani and Mizuhara were gambling together. It’s possible that Ohtani and Mizuhara were gambling together. It’s possible that Ohtani and Mizuhara were gambling together. It’s possible that Ohtani and Mizuhara were gambling together.
It looks like there will be more to come. He’s ranked 13th in the Forbes rankings, but if you look at the top names, it’s all 40-year-old guys like LeBron, Ronaldo, and Curry.
That’s amazing. I’m looking forward to seeing how he does in the Paris Olympics. Soccer has started, but when will baseball start competing in the Olympics?
All sponsors are Japanese corporations, advertising is aimed at Japanese people watching in Japan, they don’t sell in the US and have no intention of selling there (Yakult, Mitsubishi Bank, etc.), taxes are paid to the US, a real idiot community.
