“Let’s say you want a global female athlete. It’s really just Maria.
She is global because tennis is global, [and add] the fact that she is
Russian, so she is not American but Americans think she is American. It
makes her more appealing. Not to take anything away from Venus and
Serena, they are great champions, but they don’t mean as much, say, in
Korea as Maria does.”
-- Max Eisenbud, Maria Sharapova's agent at IMG. I love how he picked Korea as opposed to say, China or Japan. Because I can pretty much guarantee you that the Williamses are bigger there than RussianbutnotreallybutAmericansaretoostupidtorealizeshe'snotbutbecause-theydon'tthinkshe's acommiethey'llbuyherproducts Masha. I love you, Masha, but please tell your agent to STFU.
I wonder what JJ's IMG agent would say about JJ? [giggle fit]
