The influence of Argentine soccer superstar Mez is not to be underestimated, and his personal charisma translates into huge economic value. According to Forbes Financial Magazine, the market capitalization of Internacional Mayamil Club has surged by 72% in the past year to exceed US$1.03 billion (HK$8.1 billion), a leap that is largely attributed to the significant increase in the club's revenues after the signing of Misi in June last year, as well as the expectation of profit growth in the new season, which has led to the club's market capitalization to climb upwards.
Just one month after joining InterMiami, Mays helped the team win the North American League Cup. Tickets for every game during the tournament were hard to come by, and with the 36-year-old striker's jersey selling like hotcakes, InterMiami will earn a whopping US$118 million (HK$920 million) in 2023, twice as much as in 2022.
The "USMNT Cyclone" continues to gain momentum, as tickets for the 2024 USMNT season sold out as soon as they were released at the end of November last year. In addition, the team's recent global pre-season warm-up tournaments will also generate significant financial revenue.
