There was an ad during the Super Bowl 2024 that starred Lionel Messi and made $21 million. How much money did the famous Argentine person get?
Just like every other year, the Super Bowl 2024 gave the biggest brands in the world a great chance to promote their goods. For the big event that took place at Allegiant Stadium in Paradise, Nevada, a lot of famous people showed up. People thought the event was nothing less than amazing. This year, pop star Taylor Swift was the main act at the event.
The $21 million ad that Messi made for the Super Bowl
Because of this, the Super Bowl is a great chance for businesses all over the world. There are companies that are very successful that spend a crazy amount of money to sell their goods for a short time or a small area. A lot of people from all over the world watch the Super Bowl, which is the most-anticipated game in the American football season.
When the Super Bowl came around this year, there was an ad for Michelob Ultra beer that showed Lionel Messi. At the start of the 90-second ad, the world winner can be seen ordering a beer at a beach bar.
With the Super Bowl ads, Michelob Ultra had to pay a total of $21 million. Messi was told by the waitress that the drink he wanted would not be available.
When a football came his way, Messi was able to wait for it and then start showing off his skills right away. In the ad, Messi is shown with actor Jason Sudeikis and former American football player Dan Marino.
Lionel Messi was paid $14 million for his 90-second ad during the 2024 Super Bowl. Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Steve Martin, John Travolta, and Jeremy Renner are just a few of the famous people who have been in ads for the Super Bowl 2024.
Businesses had to pay $7 million for a 30-second ad. A big audience and the chance to become famous aren’t the only reasons why big brands want to show off their goods at the Super Bowl. Stakes of respect are also at stake.
The first time Lionel Messi was in a commercial was during the Super Bowl. An awful lot of people in other countries know the Michelob Ultra beer name. People in the United States have a lot more respect for the Argentine star since he moved to Inter Miami in the summer of 2017.
In an exciting extra game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 25–22. This meant that the Chiefs won the Super Bowl overall. The Kansas City Chiefs have won the National Football League Finals three times in the last five years.
Because Messi wasn’t there, Inter Miami was sued several times.
More than 1,000 reports have been sent to the Consumer Committee of Hong Kong from people who live in and visit the city about striker Lionel Messi’s absence from the practice match between Inter Miami and a Hong Kong national team. According to the South China Morning Post, the total amount of claims is more than HK$8.9 million, which is more than US$1.14 million.
About buying tickets for the game, the Consumer Committee has gotten 1,038 reports that need to be looked into. Two hundred and sixty-five of these were from tourists.
Through a 4-1 score, the American team emerged successful, even though Hong Kong held the lead on Sunday. A crowd of more than 38,000 people watched the event. According to the radio station RTHK, a lot of them were upset that Messi wasn’t on the field.
People chanted “We want Messi” and “Give us our money back” and booed.
Messi had to be on the field “for at least 45 minutes unless he is sick or injured,” according to the South China Morning Post, which claimed its own source. This was part of the deal to host the friendly match.
Tata Martino, the head coach of Inter Miami, said that the Argentine star wasn’t with the team because he was hurt.
Inter Miami has said sorry that Lionel Messi couldn’t play in the practice game that took place in Hong Kong. Fans and officials are upset about this choice, but the Major League Soccer team eventually decided that it was necessary.
With eight wins, the Argentine holds the record for most Ballon d’Or wins. He did not play in Sunday’s game at Hong Kong Stadium in front of 40,000 people because he was hurt. The medical staff looked at him and decided that it would not be safe for him or his partner Luis Suarez to play anymore.
We know that Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez’s departure from Sunday’s game made people sad, and we’re sorry that they couldn’t play. Even though we tried our best, we know that there was sadness. We’re also aware that the late choice has made our fans in Hong Kong and Tatler Asia, the company in charge of planning the event, unhappy. In a statement given to Reuters, Miami FC said, “We want to make it clear that, unfortunately, injuries are a part of the beautiful game and that our players’ health should always come first.”
In answer to angry fans and the government’s complaints about the important soccer player’s absence, the event’s organizers said they would give some tickets back.
Messi, who is 36 years old, came into the game in the 61st minute of Inter Miami’s friendly match against Visel Kobe in Tokyo. At the National Stadium, huge blocks of seats were empty, and only 28,614 tickets were sold. It was three days after this match.
The friendly matches between Argentina and Nigeria and Ivory Coast that were supposed to happen in Hangzhou and Beijing in March have been canceled. People think that this number is due to Lionel Messi, who is a great football player.
It was just last week that Inter Miami beat the Hong Kong national team 4-1 in a friendly game. Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China. Forty thousand people in the stands were upset that the 36-year-old expert did not play in the game. They paid $640 for a ticket to see the Argentine singer perform.
When the game was over, the fans in the stands made their opinion known that they were very unhappy. They shouted “We want Messi” and “Give us our money back” because they thought they had been ripped off and not been able to see Messi play.
Following that, 1,093 complaints were sent to the Hong Kong Consumer Committee against the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner. They put in claims for more than $1.14 million in reimbursement right from the start.
Tatler Asia, the company that put on the match, said in the days afterward that it would refund ticket holders for 50% of the cost of their passes.
As soon as we found out that Leo Messi would not be playing, we asked that the owners and leaders of Inter Miami make him stand in front of the crowd and explain why he would not be playing. Messi wasn’t there. He instead played in a game against Vissel Kobe in Japan three days later, on February 7. He was paired with Luis Suarez. At the end of the game, TIPS.BET chose the winner with a score of 3:4. As the business said in a statement, “This is yet another slap in the face for us.”
The leader of the US national football team, Tata Martino, tried to hide the mistake by saying that Lionel Messi wasn’t able to play because he was hurt.
The Chinese officials in charge of sports decided to take away Argentina’s power over Chinese soil because of this.
“Following recent events and the discontent created among fans, we have decided to cancel the scheduled matches of world champion Argentina that were to take place in our country in March,” based on government officials.
