Anyone ever listen to Joe Rogan or Schaub on agents? Worse yet is Dolce. They rip on these guys constantly.
Schaub just did a huge rant on agents.

The guy in the thumb ...google Ali Abdelaziz FBI Informant and read the article. It's an eye opener. Conor McGregor outed the guy on a live press conference. It's a good watch.

Martins agent is exactly what Schaub talks about.

I'm wondering how many riders currently have agents...and how many of the riders have once had agents.

I think Roczen's agent has done a great job for him up to this point. I don't know what the other agents are doing that a rider couldn't do themselves.

What I don't get is why these guys seem to want to air dirty laundry.

If they wanted to thank someone, they could have done so without a worldwide billboard, saying "Hey Thanks, but I'm telling the world I'm out of here"
It's like posting on Face book thanking your Chick for all the awesome blowjobs while driving on road trips, and then telling her you're dumping her for everyone to see.

Or, Is this a cry out to say he wants someone new, or is tired of paying someone for something he could do himself?

Agents can be good and bad but they’re usually always expensive. Once you’ve been through the ropes enough, you get to know the ins and outs yourself and there’s not much someone else can do for you that you can’t do yourself, so long as you are willing to.

Good for him, I say.

Yeah, I get that this is more about him leaving the agent he was with and the sports agency he was paying.

His contract with Geico is already signed. If he looks like he's going to race after this new contract is up, maybe he'll get another (or the same) agent. As for now, he doesn't need one.

Pretty sure Jeffrey Herlings has always represented himself, and I believe he's done pretty well.

I think some guys probably need agents to guide them in the process, but a lot of riders would do just as well to save the money and go it alone. Totally depends on the rider...JMart has always struck me as a pretty smart kid, and he works his tail off....

I would guess when you get to the "superstar" level (e.g. Roczen, Tomac, Dungey, etc.) they need an agent just to keep up on all of the sponsorship opportunities, so it's probably money well spent....

Sports are simple: If you're doing great, the people who wanna offer you something will find you. But without an agent there is no filter, to filter out the people who need something from you and the not very interesting offers. Also without an agent you've nobody who "hunt new deals".

Everything has his ups and his downs. In Europe there aren't much riders working with agents if I'm informed correctly. Also because the big hitters are mostly working with family and the others aren't interesting enough, aren't making enough money earn something on them as agent.

And yet, if he didn't make that Instagram post, and word got out that he wasn't using an agent anymore, there would be a dozen or more threads here speculating on why he dropped them. Too many times, these guys are damned if they do, and damned if they don't.

I’ve never understood the need for agents to do endemic deals

I think Peely mentioned in the past he's a Lions fan, so that explains a lot...

He still has to pay his negotiated percentage of all deals signed for the duration of said contracts while he was being represented. This is about when he moves up to 450's.

All you need is a good Contract Lawyer in MX.

Herlings his personal big sponsor and friend is working for him as a agent to help him out with new sponsor deals. Don't know if he really works as a agent like you used to know.
But just doing the talks for him together with Jeffrey

You got a problem with me pulling my pecker? It's cheaper than dinner n a movie Holmes. And the pack is the ONLY TEAM in the NFL that will never move- no buy me a new stadium or else bullshit. Owned by the people for the people. And I've been to lambeau son, it's epic. So don't be coming at me with your fake ass NFL teams or your celibacy crap. Peelout.

The UFC doesn't care about the fighters. Don't the fighters work or contract directly for the UFC? Or am I misunderstanding. If the UFC required BAR certification for agents, wouldn't that mean that either the fighter or the UFC would inevitably pay more for the fighter?

What does the requirement of schooling and BAR certification do to the price of the agent?

The contract is relatively redundant. I don't believe you can maintain your BAR certification if you're a felon. So no criminal history is a bit more vague than specifically a felon, but if you're going to require a BAR cert, you're getting a non felon.

In the end, I see where he's going. But there is a side of the conversation he's not considering.
