From http://www.roddickonline.com/ Reebok and Roddick Seperate Reebok Announces End of Roddick Contract Reebok announced today that they are not continuing their endorsement arrangement with Andy Roddick when the current contract expires at the end of this month. This announcement was not unexpected. Trade sources tell Daily Tennis that Roddick’s representatives are seeking a huge amount of money for his endorsement. So much, in fact, that both Reebok and Nike are not likely to step forward and pay the requested amount. Now that Reebok has decided not to proceed with Roddick, it will likely be in a position to negotiate an endorsement contract with Venus Williams, whose endorsement contract with Reebok expired last year. Speculation about Roddick’s contract is now centering on Lacoste as the likely suitor. Reebok response Reebok International Ltd. on Friday dropped tennis star Andy Roddick of Austin as a spokesman for its athletic shoes, apparel and accessories. The Reebok-Roddick relationship dates back to May 2000. But effective May 1, Roddick no longer will endorse Reebok products. "Throughout our relationship, Andy has always been a loyal ambassador for the brand and has continuously proven himself to be a player capable of bringing intense energy and excitement back into the sport of tennis, with a talent and charisma to forever change the game," Reebok (NYSE: RBK), based in Canton, Mass., says in a statement. "As our contract came to a close, and after carefully considering what is in the best interest of our business, Reebok has elected to not continue this partnership." A representative of Washington, D.C.-based SFX Sports Group Inc., which manages Roddick's career, couldn't be reached for comment. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 大概说一下 Andy与Reebok的合约在这个月就到期了 而Reebok也不打算继续和Andy续约 据Reebok的说法 是Andy的"representatives"要求的签约金太高 所以无法达成共识 .................到底是多高啊.... 高到Reebok不愿意续约 Nike也觉得太高 所以也排除Nike是下一个合作对象的可能性 也许是SFX(Andy的经纪公司) 认为还有可以议价的空间吧..... 直到现在SFX并没有对此发表声明 下周就会揭晓Andy代言的品牌 现在放出的风声 最有可能的 会是Lacoste^^" 齁....这跟上次Party "不小心"穿错衣服有关系嘛!!XDDD -- 我不习惯Andy穿别家啦~~~(虽然并没有偏好= =") --
