The World’s 50 Most Marketable 2014


After extensive external consultation and internal discussion, SportsPro has settled for the fifth time on its annual list of the world’s 50 most marketable athletes in association with Eurosport. There are plenty of new faces and, as ever, a vast array of talking points



Nobody sensible ever wrote a list and expected others to agree with it. Five editions of the SportsPro 50 Most Marketable Athletes rankings have confirmed that much, if nothing else. It is a quixotic task, however carefully it is approached. There are always those baffled by inclusions and infuriated by omissions. But, hopefully, what begins every year as a blank sheet of paper at least ends up as something worth talking about.

There is a fresh yet familiar look this time around. A remarkable 27 of the athletes listed are new entries but only one of them makes the top ten, which includes seven of those at the head of the rankings last year. Of the 22 who return from 2013 – there is a single re-entry – 14 go down, seven go up and one goes nowhere. There are 13 women, one fewer than last year, and 37 men.

Smashed. No Federer? Are they kidding?

Perhaps you were drunk when reading that news item.

These are 50 most marketable athletes as opposed to 50 most marketed athletes.

They have clearly explained it there. The idea is to identify sports personalities that
are on the rise whom the companies get them at a cheap price, before it becomes
even difficult to get hold of his agent.

Then why are Bolt, Andy Murray, Djokovic, McIlroy, and Christiano Renaldo on the list? They've been around for years, and are world famous, successful athletes. None could be considered on the rise.

They are not in the top 50 marketed athletes. This list considers anyone outside of
the main list. That is for a new company looking for a sportsman to market their
products, Andy and Novak are still potentially within their reach whereas Roger and
Rafa are unaffordable by most companies at this point. You can see both lists if you
take time.

You should also remember that sports success does not always turns into marketability
automatically. That is why you see some people who you think have already achieved a lot
are in this list.

Ronaldo isn't on the list of the 50 most marketed sports people? :huh: Then who is?
