Re: Boris Becker joins PokerStars team
This is all stupid.
i smell poker bust soon...common who gives a rats ass about some wanker who used to play tennis in germany??? honestly. They going to sign the canadian curling team? WTF?? I hate they star signings. and i'm sure he got sqadidly in terms of money. probably live tournament buy-ins are paid for and he gets stars money and maybe a small cheque on the side. still pretty good for being washed up though! |

Re: Boris Becker joins PokerStars team
Well he is still huge in germany. Except for Michael Schumacher, probably still the biggest name.
When he turned 40 a few days ago it seemed to be a big deal and he was certainly on all the german tv channels that I*m unfortunate to have on my tv. I'm sure if anyone can bring even more germans to pokerstars, it's Boris. Even in other european countries, the Uk too where he has been Wimbledon commentator, he is still a bigger name than I think 99 percent of active tennis players and certainly bigger than any poker player. So like someone said, a huge signing that can't have been cheap, unless Boris really loves poker I guess. I know he has had huge deals in the past with big sponsors like Mercedes. |

Re: Boris Becker joins PokerStars team
This is incredible news, I've been on the online poker sidelines for the past few years waiting to see which site would sign up Boris Becker. Now that Stars has signed him, I'm going to open an account there. I need help with rakeback, funding options, etc. What would be a good place on this forum for this? Thanks and cya at the tables!!

[/ QUOTE ] not sure as to which effects this will have on the german poker market, but this is HUGE when it comes to getting tons of press. after all, he still is one of very few true german sports legends - he basically CREATED tennis in germany and has been in a love/hate relationship with just about every german ever since. i mean, he dropped tennis like 10 years ago and still has cover stories about once a week or so (alas re: his murky private life [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]). [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] pokerstars for making this deal. becker is known for making good choices concering his testemonials - he helped aol take off in germany some years ago. letīs hope thereīs more to come.

C'mon, you guys are totally wrong, the only choice for Absolute would be Nikolay Davydenko.
