The Inevitable 2021 Pros Switching Sponsors Thread

Any kind of slaw is awful.

Don't you mean ... slawful?

Flat seasoned TLs have been in high demand for 20 years now

Then why can't I get decent offers for my seasoned pearlies?

Pork chops and applesauce. Staple or option?

Couldn't find the clip where Homer yells at Kronos for applesauce to go with his pork chops, but here is another pork chop clip.

Has Texas BBQ changed sponsors? Or is their contract not up yet? I could see Memphis making an offer; the two of them would be unstoppable on the same team.

They aren't at liberty to discuss details just yet.

Nate Perkins said on Smashboxx last night that he was Ezra's agent for the offseason, and spoke with multiple companies on his behalf. He said it was something they planned on announcing, but he gave smashboxx that exclusive. Definitely doesn't mean he's going to Discmania. He said ezra and him were working on a short term contract, because they still don't know his value yet. Pretty interesting concept being that he is a sponsored pro for Discmania, but it sounds like being an agent for other players is an interest of Nate's.

Also mentioned Paige pierce is close to being a millionaire, and he thinks people need to know that, but they don't right now. Pretty big statement.

If you listen to Nate for 10 minutes it's clear that he is pretty intelligent. For Ezra to take a long deal with a smaller AAV he is selling himself short long term. As long as he doesn't have a big injury he should refine his game more and continue to grow on social which is a valuable commodity by itself.

I would assume any short-term contract with a major manufacturer, would include the ability to extend after the first contact expires at a substantially different level.

The more I learn about Nate Perkins the more I like him. Hustling discs out of his van, helping Ezra negotiate his contract. Good ****.

 

[Hampstead]

Yeah, Nate seems like a genuinely good guy.

interesting to hear Nate P say that he got $20000 for the 10000pc of NightStrike Discmania sold, wonder if $2 a disc is a "norm" for players to get from Sig. discs

I've heard that same amount but in euros. I'd guess that only Paul and Paige are getting double or more per disc while majority are getting that 2.

What's the wholesale price of the sig discs? Do they differ per disc as they do once we see them at retail?

You'd imagine that the different price of sig discs at least partially reflects that differing pro-payout.

 

[Jolt]

So for Ezra finding a sponor that can give him a good Sig.Disc and can make that disc in a large number, might be worth more to him than a ok salary.

Even at Paul´s $250.000 a year salary. . his money from discsales are probably close or even more than that.

Wholesale prices on the sig discs vary from company to company but they are all higher than "regular" discs.

Within a given company between signature discs are they level or a constant uplift from the same non-sig discs where they exist (i.e. accounting for plastic)?

Makes sense due to the royalty per disc going to the player. Everyone makes the same margins.

McBeth, Sexton, and I were having a conversation at the 2015 Rumble during a backup, and Paul said that they receive about $4 each for "Tour Series" discs like Sexton Firebirds.

He also said that discs cost about $0.25 per disc and that DX plastic is actually slightly more expensive to make but they have to keep their price-points where they are because of durability.

Sig/tour discs are more across the board. Within a company one player's sig/tour discs tend to cost the same as another players given that it is the same plastic.

Ezra to Discraft

I'm happy for him. Discraft is obviously a pedigree company. After this contract I'd like to see him go elsewhere where he can be "the guy", but I think it's good for him to spend some time growing his game and career with Discraft before making that jump.
