I think you are probably right, but I wonder if it isn't even less of a base since its such a long term contract with very nice kickers for WR, NR, medals. Maybe something more like $400-500K/yr with kickers. As a pro athlete I can see taking a lower base for long term certainty with upside.
Please keep in mind I don't really know what I am talking about.
The total number is probably what Josh wanted and Brooks stretched out the years to make the AAV hit less for their accounting, like the mega baseball deals of recent history. Doubt Brooks anticipates Josh will be relevant at any distance in 2033.
He is the middle distance/distance version of Noah. Just a dude pretending to be something they aren't for a brand. You can tell Noah watches Naruto when he isn't pretending to be gangster and cocky, and I feel like Kerr is probably a pretty chill dude who gets fired up and talks some trash so he can get a little attention for his brand. Noah would probably have more in common with Isaiah Jewett than he would with Fred or Coleman, and I feel Kerr would probably be at home with some other quiet distance nerds like Hoppel or Hobbs if it weren't for him wanting to be marketable as a bad boy of track

How does being cocky preclude you from watching Naruto? Anime is literally a main part of Noah's brand... and I'd like you to tell me how he pretends to be a gangster.
No-one thinks Noah has anything in common with Fred Kerley. Your entire spiel is drivel and if he had this kind of "I have to stay in 1 lane" mentality he wouldn't be nearly as successful as he is.
I wonder if Brooks encourages him to start things with Jacob to keep them in fans' minds.
Mind you the number of people in real life who care about what Josh said about Jakob is probably pretty small.
You are right; most running nerds significantly overestimate how much anyone else know about the sport.
You could do a poll at the entrance to a literal Brooks store, and even among the Brook running shoe-buying audience less than 5% could answer the question "What runner is Josh Kerr currently beefing with?
Perhaps 10% could answer the question "What place did Josh Kerr finish in the 2024 Olympic 1500?"
