So Boris has made $55K this year and his agent is crying poverty

Wall Street Hedge Fund owners make $55k every week and have no talent at all (unless you consider being a greedy psychopath a talent).

Yeah but they aren't asking for legal donations.

Also, to those who called Hawi a genius for beating nike. It only cost him $50k and it could have been easily avoided. Hawi is an idiot by all accounts.

Back into you Nike cubicle, troll.

I work in the legal industry. We typically don't touch anything for less than $100k. Even at lower tier law firms, a few lawyers working for a few weeks is easily $50k+. Hawi's claims are totally believable, with or without proof.

You should go do it for a couple months and bring back a million dollars since it's so easy.

Yes, $50k is a good price. The firm will get some good PR beating Nike. Might be why the price is reasonable for such a case.

I'm sure the firm will let him pay over time. Shouldn't be an issue because he can make that money over time.

Costs aren't small for an international athlete even when you're not taking on the legal might of Nike. This isn't the equivalent of being paid wages of $55k, more like a small business taking in $55k. He's a contractor, not an employee.

55k? He lives in California? 55k isn't a lot. That's an entry level job at a big company.

The average lawyer in the United States is paid $78,242 per year.

Boris has made at lease $55K this year. While it's not as much as if he had been under contract, it's still more than the average family of four makes.

Now Hawi is claiming his legal bills exceed $50K, without offering any proof.

What a joke

55k minus regular living costs and

Legal Fees

Coaches

Therapy

Agent

This. Since it takes not talent and being a psychopath, you seem pretty qualified. Go get your $55k a week.

You are probably living in your parent's basement.

1. $55k works out to < $30k after everything. It's nothing.

2. You confuse BB's income with his manager's? The manager gets about 10%. One strongly worded letter from a Nike lawyer and the agent is losing money for years.

Sometimes I think that the sport's problems are brought on by people who think $55k is a living wage for a pro athlete. Meanwhile, USATF execs are clearing easy six-figures for a sport no one watches but every four years.

Now that Boris has a new shoe contract maybe it is time to get a real agent - somebody like Flynn who knows what is going on

Its actually pretty hard to be a psychopath consistently and get away with it to adulthood without anyone catching on.

Its pretty obvious most of us suck at it.

Except for the fact that they can do differential calculus in their head on the fly. Sure, if that's not talent to you then tell us your position at JPL.

You're thinking of wall street bankers, creampuff. They are just middlemen that just sell stuff and get paid millions for it.

$55K before federal and state income taxes, house or apartment payment, car payment, car insurance & gas, health insurance, food...this is about what an admin assistant makes in a lot of companies. You can definitely survive but thete isn't a lot left over for luxuries.

For what Berian does 150K is about the minimum he should get. To be a 1:43 runner you are an incredible athlete. We don't support our athletes enough.
