Maria Sharapova would have made '$20 million more' if she followed Tiger Wood’s strategy, agent Max Eisenbud reveals

Sharapova’s manager revealed how the Golfing legend managed his commercial commitments with his busy schedule. Eisenbund revealed that while Woods took out three weeks for shoots and shot three advertisements in a week, Sharapova only had sixteen days for all this.

Mark Steinberg was a colleague of mine who worked on the 13th floor, I spent a lot of time with him to figure out how does Tiger do it, you know, Tiger had a lot of deals. The key is how do you maximize your earnings but still win. What he'd like to do is take weeks of the year to do his shoots, so what Tiger would do is take three weeks to do five shoots a week in those weeks. Max Eisenbud said on Served with Andy Roddick.

He further talked about Sharapova’s strategy for handling commercial commitments along with the tennis schedule.

Basically, we figured out that we have sixteen days a year that would not interrupt her becoming a great tennis player. She could've made $20 million more if we added four or five days more, but we stayed true. Maria Sharapova’s manager said.
