Maybe the better question is, who wouldn't ?
Innova probably wouldn't. Discraft? No. I think it depends on how he performs this year. My guess would be DD or Lone Star.

What I find odd is that I can find 6 different molds with GB stamps on them and 14 variants of those 6 molds in different stamps or plastics...I mean...that is a lot of support from Prodigy...isn't it? https://www.prodigydisc.com/search?q=gannon%20
Any company dropping high six to seven figures on any of these athletes should be doing that.Didn't he already have a major knee surgery before the age of 17?
Whatever company takes the chance on him, should probably also get him a personal trainer.
A good company can always be above one good athlete going away. We throw discs because we like the athlete so if the athlete show disapointment in the product/company most will side on his/her side.
Hopefully it gets sorted and both can come away decently happy.
Also signing kids and not be 110% at fullfilling the clauses is just shoddy and shows lack of investment in a professional business relationship, especially if his so key to their earnings. Missing a 500 payment is just laughable, throw in 500 extra for making prodigy semi relevant in the top.
I throw discs that fit my game, regardless of which pro is throwing them. I suspect I'm not in the minority.
Prodigy is saying a majority of his beefs weren't actually in the contract, and they addressed the ones that were (two missing bonus payments and sales data). They're claiming he is still under contract because they satisfied the complaints within the 30 day cure period and are now suing for losses as a result of Gannon's premature announcement.
In the Termination Notice, G.B. also complained that he and his mother were told they would be able to view "regular sales reports" of his disc sales to reconcile with his PDI commissions. Put simply, nothing in the Endorsement Agreement obligates PDI to provide G.B. with "regular sales reports."
small point of clarification: they said that the "regular sales reports" requirement was not in the contract as well. so just the $200+$300 payments
According to Disc Golf Dot Law, 'compensation' isn't defined in the unredacted portion of the contract, which will be held against Prodigy for writing the contract and not defining terms.
The court would then determine the definition of 'compensation' which may or may not include sales figures. Accountants will vehemently demand that sales figures are a necessary component.
Something like 97% of cases are resolved outside of litigation, so we'll probably never get a resolution satisfying enough to an online forum.
(Sidenote: my wife is a paralegal. She watched this Nick and Matt show, pointed directly at Matt's pullover and said, "don't you dare ever wear a shirt like this.")

sure, I was just pointing out that according to Prodigy the ONLY thing they had to cure was the $500. according to them they didn't NEED to provide the sales figures, but they went ahead and did it anyways, so either way it's a moot point.
It's like a title fight. Don't leave it up to the judges.

The closest thing we have to sales data across brands in infinite, which is very flawed by who buys discs where, but I can tell you I don't recall seeing prodigy or their discs on those lists. If I had to wager, I would say Manufacturers ahead of Prodigy in a guess-ish order would be:
Innova
Lat64
Discraft (maybe ahead of Lat? but lat does so many others)
MVP (axiom/streamline/mint/tsa/wild)
Yikun
Gateway (AGL, Reptilian, BZ, old Wild disc...)
Then we are getting close, but I think these are on par or still ahead of prodigy 2022
Kastaplast
Discmania
LSD
Below we have:
Daredevil
Clash
Launch
Disctroyer
ABC/Essential? (whos making the dino discss now?)
Trash Panda
Franklin
Prodigy does so poorly here, they have sponsored a pro or two, and generally all they can talk about 9 months in is how much they wish they could throw other stuff... Or how some of the old prodigy stamped innova still floats around...
And I am not salty I love some prodigy A2s are a class of their own (though not much use to me) really enjoy M4s, FX2, H3V2, MX3...

Awe c'mon, I'm sure we'll soon see a resolution that will be completely satisfying to all of the diverse personalities on DGCR. So satisfying that all discussion on the topic will cease and the focus can return to religion and DGN.
