Message: [QUOTE="oldude, post: 4024573, member: 7511"] These are truly uncharted waters. $1 million might just be the floor and not the ceiling. As evidence I point to Athing Mu who turned pro a few months back at the age of 19 and signed a 6-figure deal with Nike, with performance bonuses that could make her a millionaire. Subsequently, Mu blew away everyone in the US Olympic trials in the 800 meters. Yesterday she followed that up with a gold medal at the Olympics, once again blowing everyone away. If someone most Americans had never heard of a few months ago can make $1 million, how much is one of the best known female athletes in the country worth? [/QUOTE]
