    How big will Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports Agency, become?

    Agents across the world have to be concerned at the least.

    I think it just something that seems hip to do now. Lets see how long it lasts.

    IMG isn't ran by a bunch of schmucks either.

    Everything the guy touches is turns too gold, he will barely be involved...

    His roundtable makes decisions...

    It's really just CAA using him as a faceman mostly and nobody knows what they are doing better than them. CAA wants to be known as way more than a top theatrical talent agency, and saw this as an opportunity to get a leg up in sports talent..

    Ever since William Morris and Endeavor merged a few years back there has been even more bad blood in fighting over theatrical talent. Recently WME ran some signs ripping on CAA in LA.

    The only reason these guys are truly signing is because CAA is calling all the shots.

    For the career he succeeded at to make that money, you're correct. I'd like to see him write and revise a legal contract.

    if you consider a person 6'2 240 lbs to be morbidly obese well you're obviously an idiot. Secondly I guess your mom smoked so much crack that you came out of her womb retarded cause you dont know shit. Go back to wearing those phagish florescent clothes you wore when you did that video imitating JJ

    There is nothing the top business school in the world could teach Jay-Z to become more successful.

    And those worrying about bad contracts, really? Do you really think Jay-Z does anything more than put his name on the building and hang out with the players for pub?

    Jay-Z is considered one of the GOAT's in rap, he also is one of the first black people with real wealth. He didn't get there by handling everything himself, he got there just like every succcessful person has on a similar path. They've surrounded themselves with people smarter than him and who excel at what they do.

    Roc Nation gives excellent representation, and it has next to zero to do with Jay-Z.

    On top of all that, the type of advertising revenue Jay-Z will have access to that other major agents wont is literally the deciding factor to go to him.

    Players max out on money in the professional careers, the real money for all major athletes is off the field, and that is a place where Jay-Z, his brand, and his companies will shine.

    My prediction, his firm will absorb a lot of the competition and put them to work for him.

    He is going to end up with the biggest players in every sport. When LeBron opts out after next season he will have Jay's agency rep him.

    Way different situation than Master P.

    Sports agents don't even make that much unless they have elite talent. 3% on a million dollar contract isn't shit. Maybe jay z can land the super stars but for
    How much he gets paid and how little he does he better land the elite talent or its a waste for caa

    Yeah, I'm sure he'll be rolling up his sleeves and getting involved with the fine print himself. LOL.

    Making Jay-Z a frontman = genius move.
