You forgot one key thing for the move into the MLS. Messi will be able to have his own franchise in the MLS. Just like Beckham. I think this might be the biggest reason why he went there.
You beat me to it Not only does he not speak English (the most spoken language in the world) He's also introverted ... even his Spanish speaking fans might not gravitate towards like that outside of football
The chance of him succeeding in business is so slim. Apart from selling shirts he he’s too stupid to run a bath for his children let alone run a large business
I'm a huge Messi fan, but honestly, he is not representative like Ronaldo is. He knows like 5 words in English and he's introverted. Those two reasons alone are enough for him not to succeed off the pitch.

Solid video Athletic Interest, you’re spot on with the MJ and LeBron James examples of superstar athletes becoming billionaires through smart investments and business ventures, Messi has the global star power that he will definitely be following in their footsteps to become a billionaire.
I've been a Messi fan since he burst into Barca's first team. Now, some decade and a half later, I've seen more of him off the field than when he first started. It pains me to say this, Messi will never reach Michael Jordan's height in wealth. He's too naive. He's a footballing GOAT but does not have the people acumen or business acumen. Shockingly, he sometimes doesn't even see clearly where his commercial potential is. His fan base in China dwarfs that of the US in numbers and in money potential. But his PR awkwardness presented him in the wrong optics with the Chinese people. I still can't believe in his mis-step there (in HK). I think a good part of his fan base and goodwill there has permanently evaporated into thin air. Kobe Bryant and now LeBron James have already shown the way into the heart of the Chinese fan base. But Messi had awkwardly tripped himself up there.
Why go through all the burden of building companies when he can just live off his image for the rest of his life and still make tons of money? Look at Ronaldinho
Didn't they say the strategy was about anticipating how sports content will be consumed in the future (and cornering those emerging markets)? So I'd guess investing in streaming services. They'll probably create something like a Spotify for football, won't they? Every goal available on demand, that kind of thing.
So basically my takeaway of this is that messi has terrible business sense. Getting the deal with apple and then buying the franchise might be very smarr, otherwise his incapacity of leveraging his brand to create a strong consumer product brand is baffling to me, there are literally hundreds of nobodies who create huge brands nowadays (rouge, five four five etc), he should really leave the investing to the pros. Either get a guy who can create a brand, otherwyjist put your money into PE and that should yield for RoE that thoae stupid business ventures. Then again, not really surprised by a dude thats not even capable of leaening to speak english. Footballing and business genius seem very very different...
Yeah, I can see turning down a lot of cash for a business opportunity, but when the cash amount is $1 bil and the opportunity is NFTs, collectibles and a video streaming startup, I mean, I definitely would've taken the cash. Messi's streak of bad investments seems to continue.
0:15 “Because he dared to be injured” That’s a very unfair representation of what Messi did in Hong Kong. At no point before the match did Inter Miami or Messi say that he was injured. Even at halftime, the organisers were reassured by Inter Miami that Messi will play. The full-time whistle came and went, no Messi. At the end of match ceremonies, the organiser asked if Messi could take the mic and say a few words - Messi inexplicably refused. He was sulking in the back through the entire photo ceremony, and also refused to take a picture holding a trophy with Hong Kong’s Chief Executive. 40,000 people paid a lot of money to see Messi, and he showed no love back. Why didn’t he at least say a few words on the mic? He played 60 minutes just two days afterwards in Japan by the way. Just casual ignorance and racism from the Athletic, very disappointing.

@@ChronicTheHempHog-mf3nh according to Krü esports, the best player in the world is their owner, Mark Trazzeth and as they really think and defend this position so much it’s a meme now 😂 Me when I spread misinformation
the problem he has its does't recognise what people think a out him. He is not the guy you are going to remember how stylish he is or how energetic he is but what everybody knows is how talented he is SO he needs to focus talent related ideas and businesses.
The athlete for sure put in work on pitch BUT if your manager isn’t buisiness savvy you’re NOT getting the Jordan deal, Lebron Liverpool, Serena firm deals etc. The managers are the ones searching for this new opportunity which can make you a billionaire or $100m+ I think that’s way harder job but they are regularly under appreciated
Awesome video as always!! Tbh I don't think Messi is the driving force behind this. He doesn't seem to me like a greedy businessman that wants to take over the world. I feel more like he is surrounded by people which want to make money through Messi. An investment here, an investment there.. and big percentage for the guy that advised him to do that.
Ronaldo would have fared much better in US with him speaking English, the influence of Nike, his son a citizen and many other factors which would have increased popularity of football/soccer in the US. Messi on the other hand has increased the popularity of football in US, but it comes mostly from Latin American fans in US. Messi would have been better off in Saudi Arabia as he was a Ambassador there, and their connections, influence with Messi's influence that crosses language barriers (for example his popularity in China) would have brought fame to the Middle Eastern football league. Latin America has the biggest and passionate football fans, it would increase the Saudi Pro League viewership and broadcast (like Japan's MLB viewership deal with Shohei Ohtani) with Messi's presence. I would have loved to see Ronaldo play in MLS and see him all the time on US media and collabs. Really sad Ronaldo chose money and Messi chose business over growing popularity of football. End of an Era....
I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks and made about $246k,but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million....
You work for 42yrs to have $2m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $20k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
Thanks for continuing updates l'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $42,500 per week even though I barely trade myself.
Messi is the 🐐 in Football, but needs the help of the expert advisors in investments. That's part of life you can't be 🐐 in everything 😅! Can I 🙏 get a ❤ on this comment 😉
His inability to speak English (the most spoken language in the world) might be a factor in his failures outside of football He's also introverted ... the spanish speaking world might also fail to gravitate to him outside of football
3:18 Unfortunately, if the Nike deal didn't happen, there would be no huge revenue shares for athletes' image or name. In his time, his was the first. MJ's shoe deal with Nike was the catalyst of the player empowerment and leverage we see Today. So we can say he is "underpaid" in today's standards BUT without his deal, there would be no standard.

In all honesty, the business of Messi is a bit underwhelming considering his status.

Watched every single video within an hour of release.
Now that's loyalty towards Athletic Interest.
indeed.same here😂😂😂
same these videos are so dope
Messi's inability to speak english can also be one of the reasons why some of his investments or marketing are not kicking off.
You beat me to it
Not only does he not speak English (the most spoken language in the world)
He's also introverted ... even his Spanish speaking fans might not gravitate towards like that outside of football
The chance of him succeeding in business is so slim. Apart from selling shirts he he’s too stupid to run a bath for his children let alone run a large business
That's the beauty about messi.
Bad Boys?
This is so strange. he is a star and introverted... I was watching one of his interviews it seems someone was bulying and he responded
1 min into the video and editor is already cooking 🦅🦅🦅
The eagle screaming everytime the US Flag popped up killed me
Fun fact :Messi is also secretly learning English. You watch. In 15 years he'll speak English as good as Arnold swarzeneger
😂
No cap 😂
He’s been learning English since 2021 ( watch the interview with Guillem Balague that he did when he signed for PSg)
By then we will have automatic language translating neck bands or something.
Each one of your videos is a case study in sports marketing industry.
Great videos as always.
Keep the good work coming, AI
Someone can understand and explain with vivid examples the marketing industry just by watching the athletics of interest ❤
I think off the court/field Roger Federer is the best example of how an athlete increases his wealth!
