How negotiations in big name sports contracts have changed over the years

from The State of California

The Bay Area last weekend played host to the NBA All Star game. Next year it will be home to the Super Bowl and matches for the FIFA World Cup. The big games have gotten big – but the money in sports has gotten even bigger! The past two baseball offseasons have brought the two largest professional sports contracts in history. Record deals have also been seen in the NFL and NBA. As part of Audacy Conversations "Big Games, Big Money", KCBS political Reporter Doug Sovern spoke with longtime sports super agent Leigh Steinberg about how professional sports contracts have grown to become so large over the years.
