plus, the argument, in my mind, was never whether Tiger or Ronaldo was more marketable, but whether or not Messi and Ronaldo were considered iconic

I also think endorsement money is a bad metric, because sports with a wealthier following have higher endorsement deals.

Golf is way overrepresented relative to the number of people who follow it.

Ronaldo is a soccer icon. Tiger is an icon. Kelly Slater is a surfing icon. The Babe was an icon. LeBron and Kobe are basketball icons. Ali was an icon.

Not sure if this has been posted or not. I'd wage this is the stupidest significant bet of all time:

"A Caesars gambler placed a $20,000 wager that pays $20 that Woods will not win all four majors this year. The ‘no’ was a 1,000-1 favorite (minus 100,000)."

Exactly

Also if he didn't show up with a bag of cash, the wire transfer could have cost more than the $20.
