In fact I wouldn't be surprised (note: not saying it is the case) if all three of them wouldn't do a Pepsi commercial for near nothing/free.

I would be extremely surprised if this was the case.
Celebrity fees for advertising can obviously be all over the map, but for a national ad, with Pepsi as the sponsor, I would take a stab and say they were in the 100K range. I would also guess Jay Mohr made mohr than the poker guys.
A-list celebrities who sponsor Pepsi typically get contracts in the $5MM range.
Bam Margera (B-list?) got $600K+ for his Right Guard ads.
An unknown professional actor can get in the 20k range for national spots.
I think Negreanu, Hellmuth, and Scotty fall somewhere between B-list and unknown on the grand scale. Pepsi gets a lot of mileage out of that ad, and it was developed when poker was at or near its peak.

Agreed, your assessment seems about right. My point was that if Pepsi came to Phil and said "we will put you in a nationally run Pepsi commercial but wont pay you", I think Phil would do it just because of the exposure. I could be wrong.
