Hmm, both are very good at what they do, and have a knack for getting their clients what they want. I don't know enough about being an agent to really say for sure, but Rosenhaus as becoem more widely known (mostly due to the sport he provides hsi services for) and has gotten more attention, though that dould be a detriment. I'd say Rosenhaus but really I have nothing to base it off of. He is a really cool guy though Rosenhaus, I met him at Eagles camp in the summer, really down to earth and chill when he isn't in "super-agent mode".

Boras seems to control everyone with talent in the MLB.

If the NFL didn't have a salary cap, i'm sure Rosenhaus could con teams into paying guys the ridiculous amount of jack Boras gets his clients.

But, with that said, Boras got Andruw Jones 18 million, so he wins.

Didnt he also get Pay-Rod that quarter billion dollar deal with the Rangers?

Rosenhaus is pretty much a legitimately good guy and most teams really don't have a problem dealing with him. Scott Boras is Satan.

Well he has pretty much gotten him half a billion, ontop of all the endorsements. The only difference is that A-Rod is worth every bit of it. Andruw Jones came off an absolutely horrible year and he still conned the Dodgers for 18 mil.

I wish I had the talents to get a ****** agent, let alone one of them.

I know its like a broken record, but I honestly wouldn't be a big money grubber or anything. I wouldn't be taken advantage of, but I wouldn't be asking for crazy amounts of money either. I would feel uncomfortable with it.

Boras would have evaluated the profit he could make from saving the kid and the kid would drown while he pondered.

He's kind of annoying though. Have you seen his youtube site/blog?

"Kevin Smith is the best running back in the draft"
"Jack Ikegwuonu is the best corner in the draft"

Scott Boras is asking for $13 million a year for Jason Varitek, wants a historic contract for the old Manny Ramirez, and is comparing Oliver Perez to Sandy Koufax and Randy Johnson, so...

Just promoting his clients. Everyone does it.

Can't really compare money, baseball contracts are ridiculous as with basketball...Fitzgerald is making what 10 million a year, while Marbury is making 20 million to put into perspective.

I just respect Rosenhaus because he started his own agency from the ground up himself, he rounded up the top athletes in Miami like Michael Irvin, Warren Sapp, and got those guys to sign with him with no credentials to show for, no previous clients, he's just 110% for his clients and is a hard worker...It's not like he had something handed to him to get where he did, and while he's perceived as the ***hole to everyone he doesn't care as long as he makes his clients happy.


My respect level for him went way up once I read up on him when I wanted to get into the sports agent field.
