Federer's deal, as I said, would not be
as you put it a $15m deal for this year or for having won Wimbledon.
In the item I linked to it says:
"The brand bought Federer's allegiance for almost £10 million in 2006 in what is thought to be the world's most lucrative watch deal ever signed by an athlete."
There's even this from Sportsbusiness Daily - an arguably (generally) reliable source of sporting business new - from back in 2006. >
Big Time: Roger Federer Signs Ten-Year Deal With Rolex
"
Tennis player Roger Federer has signed an endorsement deal with Rolex worth up to $15M over roughly ten years, which is “thought to be the most lucrative watch deal ever for an athlete,” according to a source cited by Daniel Kaplan of Sportsbusiness Journal."
I highlighted the quotes of each you should take note of. It might pay to read a little further than the first result in a google search if you want to find something worthy of quoting.
