The Unrivaled basketball league is willing to give Caitlin Clark an offer even soccer superstar Lionei Messi may not be able to turn down.
"full-court press" to recruit Indiana Fever icon Caitlin Clark to thethat Unrivaled recently signed with TNT Sports, they need as many eyes on the new league as possible — and nobody brings eyes to the women's basketball court like Caitlin Clark.
"The start-up league’s 'full-court press' to recruit Clark is similar to the push by Major League Soccer’s Inter Miami CF to woo Messi in 2023," McCarthy wrote. "The club knew that salary alone was not enough to land the global superstar. So Inter Miami constructed an unprecedented package that included a contract valued at $150 million, partial ownership, and other financial incentives.
"Similar to the 'Messi Effect' on MLS, Unrivaled hopes a 'Caitlin Clark Effect' would drive ticket sales and ratings for TV partner TNT Sports, while attracting blue-chip advertisers."
