The undisputed #1 ladies’s pickleball participant ever simply signed a surprising long-term cope with Franklin. If you happen to missed it, you’ll be able to examine it right here.
However now everyone seems to be questioning one factor: how massive is the contract actually?
Anna Leigh Waters Indicators Longterm Cope with Franklin Pickleball
“I’m extremely proud to start this subsequent chapter of my profession with Franklin Sports activities,” stated Waters.
PicklePod host and embellished professional Zane Navratil has an concept:
“I’ve received this pegged as an eight determine deal. And here is the rationale that I’ve received. So Ben Johns made $2.5 million in 2024, proper?” That is clearly break up between PPA contract and JOOLA contract. My guess is that based mostly on what PPA contracts had been from Tour Wars, I am considering he is getting $1.5 million from PPA, $1 million from JOOLA per 12 months to get that $2.5M.”
#1 Pickleball Professional Makes over $2.5 million per 12 months
Ben Johns lately advised CNBC what his anticipated pickleball earnings will likely be in 2024. The determine might shock you.
He extends the rationale additional. If Ben Johns was making that a lot in 2021, how a lot is Anna Leigh price now?
“4 years later and doubtless tons of of thousands and thousands extra folks taking part in pickleball, you have to suppose that, okay, this deal in all probability is not 4 occasions as massive… however as an example conservatively two occasions as massive, that places this deal at $2 million no less than.”
Ben famously has a lifetime cope with JOOLA. We do not suppose Anna Leigh received the identical factor with Paddletek, but it surely’s received to be nearer to 5 years to really feel price it for either side.
Zane received into it on the newest PicklePod with new host Nico the Lefty and The Dink’s founder Thomas Shields. This is the clip:
The complete episode goes deep on much more enjoyable matters, like:
- Thomas thinks the PicklePod hosts might take another podcast hosts in a doubles match
- Other than Ben Johns, do another professionals really promote paddles?
- The return of “Guess My DUPR” that includes highlights from Mr. Lead Toes himself, Nico the Lefty
- Zane flames Thomas for what he calls a “clown take”
- And Nico provides some very unsolicited (and questionable) courting recommendation
