Sexton makes a ton of money, but damn I bet he doesn't have much of a life. Dude is probably constantly on the phone wheelin' and dealin'.

He truly is the best in the business. I would hate trying to negotiate with him.

Looks like he has about 75 clients and manages over 1 billion in contracts (Forbes Article on Sexton), but he is not in the top 20 in the business. JayZ is #4 overall. Thought that surprising.

1. Scott Boras: Scott is inarguably the highest-paid sports agents in the world. He is widely feared by competitors and the management of professional teams.

Scott is a lawyer with a $2B worth of contracts to his name. Forbes has named Boras the richest sports agent in the world.

He majorly manages baseball players and some of them are Stephen Strasburg, Chris Davis, Prince Fielder.

Boras earns over $108M a year in commission.

The article I linked said avg agent pay is about 89k per year.

The contract/sponsor negotiations, ego stroking, and constant publicity management would be a pain in the arse to me. I'm sure some would enjoy it, and there is obviously a good living in it. But, has to be a pain in the arse job.

If his stable gets big enough, those percentages will add up to a single coach's mega-salary.
I'm almost certain he's well beyond that now.

Put it this way - if he only got 5% of Gustav's first buyout check of $10 million, that's a $500k payday before Uncle Sam gets his percentage. Boom got a lump sum of $13 mill from SC, so that's another $650k to Sexton.

And that's in just one year from 2 of his dozens of high dollar clients (which number among them the 2 highest paid HCs in the land, Saban and Jimbo).

No wonder he always looks so jolly.
