Why does Brazier deserves so much money? He only has one great performance so fast.
Well he's about as young as can be, he jogged a 1:45, he PRed to win in his first national championship race. In said race he broke a 50-year-old record previously held by the USA's most famous distance runner, thus landing ESPN time alongside basketball and baseball highlights. These are not easy things to do, and not one of which was accomplished by Berian when he went big time. Look at other guys who blew up young and went pro, e.g. Webb, Wheating, and Centro. Sponsors take big risks on the future.
