But Lewis just doesn't sell stuff I guess?!

Which part of "2014 most marketable sportsman" is confusing you? Are you purposely trying to act stupid or should we direct some empathy towards you.

I'm still waiting for an answer to this simple question. How does Lewis appear not able to "sell stuff" when he is regarded "2014 most marketable sportsman" .

How does a reputable entity come to this conclusion when OBQuiet itself thinks Lewis "does not sell stuff". IS there a missing link somewhere? "Most marketable" /= sell stuff? Is it a language problem on my end? Or is the guy who actually muttered that having some sort of mental collapse?

Please explain.

Next time try ask for the schooling before trying the boycotting Mcfly

Now listen carefully, Santander paid Alonso's salary and now Honda pay his salary, like PDVSA pay Maldo

McLaren and now Merc pay Lewis directly

Hence one is a pay driver and the other is a paid driver

Lewis and Alonso's salary are partly based on sponsor income directly related to their employment and written in their contracts. So the team sponsors will be indirectly inflating these salaries. Like Santander and Alonso - who is sometimes sneeringly referred to as a pay driver

Ahhh so you were wrong to compare Lewis to Alonso in the first place. I see. Thanks for correcting your mistake.

Perhaps he is the most marketable but he just doesn't have the big endorsements (ie selling stuff) that others have. It is a good question though, perhaps someone has an answer.

what others OB? you mentioned Alonso based on figures from when Lewis was still at McLaren. - so a blatant lie. since then you have twisted your bile by comparing him to Rossi who has won the title 7 times and to Danica who has tits and is in Nascar where the structure is about personal endorsements.

Its been pointed out to you that you are either thick or a l;iar or so blinded by hate that you are now boycotting logic and facts

Why dont you produce the numbers (uptodate) that shows how Alonso or anyone else on the F1 grid are raking in more personal endorsments, or are more marketable, or have a bigger following or are said by real experts to have the high price tag.

Come on, show us you can think your way out of emotional irrational butthurt - show us how Lewis is unwanted RELATIVE to F1 drivers, show us how you know that since his 2nd WDC (which has hiked his price) he is still not wanted by big firms

We already roughed you up over pathetic claims that he was not able to sell cars for Merc because Merc owners dont like him and prefer golfers (we shut you up by quoting his merc bosses on his worth to the brand - but you can try that tack again Im sure if it makes your indignation and frustration easier to handle)

You already pulled the same irrational and pathetic dumbfck redneck stuff about Tiger Woods - we have that idiocy on stored for posterity. Come on OB, lets have your proof that Lewis is also unwanted like Tiger for 'who knows why' like you say

You can ofcourse ignore this polite request, change the topic, run away, lie, or consult your fellow yardstick

Or you can do us all a favour and continue to show what a complete lack of backbone looks like

cookin again your lack of concentration or comprehension or anger is sinking your ship.

The context as per Hammers post above is about Hamilton being "2014 most marketable sportsman". That includes all sports not just F1 as you seem to be misconstruing the topic to be. I had limited the endorsement comparison it to racing examples, if we were compare Hamilton's endorsements to all sports then he really is small potatoes in annual endorsement value. He may be marketable but just isn't being marketed. Maybe that is why he parted ways with his celebrity management company?

I do encourage you to get with the program and really try harder this season to focus and concentrate on your postings and to try and get over your Alonso-phobic issues.

And yes I remember your 'Tiger Woods' train wreck last November when you were claiming that Merc had hired Hamilton for his marketing image. Crazy stuff. Even with all that marketability Merc still doesn't have a picture of him wearing that Merc hat on the main page of their international auto website. They have their favorite new musical artists scrolling by though. https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/

These epic quotes should be framed and saved as a sticky topic. Just in case any of us are having a bad day and need some instant endorphin rushes to brighten the day a bit.

Give it a few weeks and we'll see emo tweets, shares on facebook, etc.....oh man I hope this doesn't affect his driving. Goddamnit Nicole, GODDAMNIT.

So what you are saying is that you still have no proof of this as requested and are still pulling things out your arse crack
Please compare his endorsements and show the potatoes. Give us the upto date endorsement value. Demonstrate that his WDC and his 'most mareketeable status in 2014 is not translating ink endorsements in 2015

Don't even bother with words and idiotic Merc genetic theories again. Just the numbers and links to the proof

Unless you can't

Maybe OB can explain that he has sacked his gf and agent because they were not able to get him endorsements. Maybe he'll do better hitching with Rihanna and releasing a 'stolen' home vid

...He may be marketable but just isn't being marketed. Maybe that is why he parted ways with his celebrity management company?..

That's a very good point, overboost! There is a subtle difference that often eludes people!
Here's the scoop from someone in the know:

The first question asked of the SportsPro 50 Most Marketable Athletes list every year is invariably the same one: “How can you possibly have left out that improbably famous and successful athlete?”...

...There is a distinction to be made, then, between those athletes with mass appeal and those suitable for the most marketable list. With that in mind, SportsPro has surveyed the landscape and put together a list of 20 of the world’s most marketed athletes.

Here's the scoop from someone in the know:

You just demonstrated that although you and OB are pretty identical in knowledge and subtlety, you are opposing his argument without realising, just as sometimes some people oppose their own arguments hen the find it hard to distinguish between things.

OB said theres a difference between being marketable and being marketed - he says maybe Lewis is the most former but not translated into the latter - and uses Rossi, Alonso and Danica as examples

Then you turn up saying there is a difference that eludes people, and promptly show a list that goes directly against OB, by proving that LEWIS is HIGHER on the MARKETED list than Danica, Alonso and Rossi

So according to the two F1 yardsticks,
one says Lewis is highly MARKETABLE but isnt MARKETED as highly as Alonso, Rossi and Danica
one says Lewis is MARKETED above Alonso, Rossi, Danica and thats subtly different from being highly MARKETABLE

Ans the second highest on the most MARKETED list - Wayne Rooney - we already pointed out only makes a bit more than Lewis on personal endorsements, but is a long way behind in total income

These marketing agencies can be a bit like dumb and dumber, producing lists that confuse some people with the ble vs ted on the end of market

Not sure where you read that the list was ranked, as all it very clearly states...

In your defence, I guess it's an understandable assumption to be made.
