For paying that much in legal fees, was it worth it to make a switch to New Balance? Or, smart thing would've been for him to show the New Balance contract without the reductions for Nike to match it, or Nike to turn it down.
Seems like a costly mistake by him and his team.

100% irrelevant

$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.
First it was only for 6 months but many people pay those thing. They are called expenses.
No one is saying he's rich it's way more than ad admin. Even at $30k it's a lot for only 6 months of work.
Nor has he traveled outside the U S.

You mean running around a track on circles not really contributing to society in any meaningful way.

How is it that one determines one's contribution to society? How would you personally come up with a better method than whatever the market is willing to bear?
Perhaps it would be something like "Trust 'Must be tough's infinite wisdom"? Or perhaps with your brilliance you have an even better method.

55k? He lives in California? 55k isn't a lot. That's an entry level job at a big company.
No, it is a lot. 55k is lot of money for a single guy (im assuming he is single?) in California or elsewhere.

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
I hope you're kidding. Hawi is far and away the best in the business, AND he's a lawyer.

Sorry, Hawi is NOT a lawyer nor is he the Best in the business. If he was the best he would not have cost his client thousands of dollars in legal fees.
Agents get 15% ($8,250)
55,500 -8,250 = $46,750
Taxes 30% federal plus self employment ($14,025)
$46,750-14,025= 32,050
I'd assume between rent and living costs he has prob under $10,000 left over.
