it's all about those endorsement for any athlete. That's reason why they should guard their public image very well.
One slip, one major mistake and na then u go wonder how u take dey earn such small salary being world best player. until u remember say na endorsement big up your pay.
To dey talk anyhow on internet, rough-handle any girl u meet for nite club, etc. no be am. Cos those companies go start withdrawing their endorsement one by one.
CR7, i know how much that one dey make from endorsements, always way more than his football salary every year.
