NUance Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Ronaldinho loses $750,000 Coke sponsorship for drinking Pepsi at press conferenceRONALDINHO, SOCCER | COMMENTS. www.cnnsi.com Ronaldo de Assis Moreira, better known as Ronaldinho, cost himself a Coke sponsorship worth $750,000 for drinking a can of Pepsi at a recent press conference, according to Yahoo! Sports. <snip> “The fact that the player has appeared with a can of Pepsi was the straw that broke the camel’s back,” Coca Cola marketing chief Marcelo Pontes told the paper. “The sponsorship had become embarrassing.” LINK The guy is either a total dick for throwing this up in Coke's face, or just plain clueless. Or maybe both. Quote Link to comment

Foppa Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Poor guy. How will he make ends meet? This is old, but you get the point. 'Ronaldinho agrees £58M contract at Chelsea' Last updated at 11:10 25 September 2007 <p class="article-icon-links-container"> Comments (0) Share Unsettled: Ronaldinho Ronaldinho has agreed a £58million contract at Chelsea - if he decides to join the Blues. The Barcelona forward has been reported to want to leave the Nou Camp and his agent has accepted a five-year deal worth £11.6m a year, according to the Sun. But the Brazilian could still reject Roman Abramovich and choose to go elsewhere. If Chelsea agree a fee with Barcelona, the World-Cup winner could be unveiled at the end of the season. The 27-year-old would be the highest-paid player ever on £223,000 a week ? £88k a week more than Blues skipper John Terry. Chelsea will not have to pay Ronaldinho's £85m get-out clause after his row with Barca ? but they would still have to cough up a world-record £70m. Ron's current contract has three years to run and is worth around £135,000 a week. AC Milan are also interested but will not be able to match the Blues' offer. Quote Link to comment
