"One of the few to say no to millions": Mouratoglou's shocking statement about Djokovic
In his interview with the famous British journalist, Piers Morgan, Novak Djokovic surprised by revealing a little-known aspect of his relationship with major brands.
"I have turned down many companies and large checks, because I cannot represent something I do not believe in," he confides.
This statement immediately triggered a wave of reactions, but one of them particularly stood out on social media: that of Patrick Mouratoglou.
"Novak is authentic. One of the few for whom money has no value"
On Instagram, the French coach stated the following: "This is why I like Novak so much... He is an authentic person. Money will never push him to do something he does not believe in.
Many think it's easy because he earns a lot. But most players who earn the same amounts do not turn down contracts."
"Those who have a lot often want even more"
Mouratoglou concludes by going even further, exposing a reality often unknown in professional tennis:
"Do not think that those who have a lot of money do not want more. He is one of the few for whom money is not a value, which is difficult for many to say.
When you play tennis for 20 years, you earn nothing. And suddenly, thanks to these 20 years of work, you can earn money.
When you are 35, your career is over. You have to find another way to earn money, and it is not easy. So it is logical that they try to earn as much as possible during this short period."
