Charles Barkley caused a stir this week when he met with LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman to possibly discuss a potential media role. So what would it take for him to leave behind his role at TNT and lose his sponsors?...

quote:
“Some type of broadcasting would be fun,” Barkley told SiriusXM, via Awful Announcing. “But if I’m gonna have to lose TNT and lose my sponsors, it will have to be something crazy numbers-wise. I’m taking this meeting, I got no idea what Greg’s gonna say to me, but if I’m going to lose TNT and my commercials, it will have to be a ridiculous number for me to move on.”

Barkley currently makes $10 million per year, per Andrew Marchand of the New York Post. He has three years remaining on his contract with Turner Sports.

As LIV gains more and more players, and the do-gooders move on to the next trendy cause du jour, I wonder if sponsors will continue yanking their endorsement deals.
