Michael Jordan’s former manager David Falk went on WFAN’s Boomer & Gio radio show to talk about his relationship with the former Chicago Bulls champ in late April 2020. He said that he brought Jordan the $100 deal that entailed, other than giving his name and likeness, one two-hour appearance to announce the deal.
“God bless him,” Falk added. “He’s been so successful, it gives him an opportunity to do whatever the hell he wants or not to do things he doesn’t want. I really admire that. He’s very, very selective in the things he wants to be involved in.” Other than that, he didn’t give any other details about the deal or who it was with, but Jordan very much just didn’t think it was worth it.
As reported by CBS Sports, Falk also said in the interview that this wasn’t the only time Jordan turned down a fat check for very little work. He also apparently turned down $7 million that would have required him showing up to a one-day golf tournament in Asia. Although that one sort of makes sense: $7 million probably just barely covers gas money for a trip halfway around the world in Jordan’s Gulfstream G-IV. Not to mention the jet lag.
