How much did Chiefs TE Travis Kelce really make from Pfizer vaccine commercials?

Kansas City Chiefs standout and the object of Taylor Swift’s affection, Travis Kelce, is currently making waves in the NFL circles. His increasing fame, both in the football arena and beyond, is poised to significantly enhance his partnerships with various brands.

The 34-year-old Chiefs great player, facing the difficulties of the COVID-19 epidemic, thus sought out an innovative way to increase his revenue by forming an alliance with the pharmaceutical behemoth Pfizer.

Travis Kelce’s Pfizer commercials netted him $20 million

Travis Kelce allegedly made a mind-blowing $20 million for appearing in Pfizer vaccination advertising, taking advantage of a lucrative agreement that came up as the whole country was dealing with the illness.

Kelce’s financial success resulting from the Pfizer collaboration is not only impressive but also a testament to his sharp business skills. Surprisingly, despite consistently delivering outstanding on-field performances that have solidified his status as one of the league’s top tight ends, Kelce’s annual on-field income is currently limited to $14 million.

The tight end’s burgeoning fame extends beyond the football field, amplifying the impact of his brand partnerships. Already a key figure in endorsements with industry giants like Nike, Bud Light, State Farm, and Experian, Kelce’s collaboration with Pfizer has significantly contributed to his off-field earnings, per Spotrush.

Meanwhile, Kelce’s recent foray into a “vax war” with the New York Jet’s quarterback Aaron Rodgers has thrust him into the spotlight more acutely. After an unexpected upset by the New York Jets, Rodgers dubbed Kelce “Mr. Pfizer,” alluding to his connection with the pharmaceutical company. The NFL fans, in a witty turn of events, responded by trolling Rodgers.

The vax war escalated when Rodgers threw down the gauntlet, challenging Kelce to a debate on their respective vaccine deals. Nevertheless, the Chiefs’ two-time Super Bowl winner tactfully sidestepped the offer.

Dana White throws a brutal dig at Travis for endorsing the Pfizer vaccine

UFC President Dana White recently took aim at Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce for his involvement in promoting the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. White has been a steadfast critic of the vaccine and expressed his disapproval during an appearance on the “Full Send” podcast, adding his voice to the chorus of high-profile figures skeptical of the vaccination campaigns.

In his candid remarks, White questioned Travis Kelce’s decision to endorse what he referred to as “garbage.”.

“I don’t know him. I don’t know anything about him, other than he’s a good football player. He’s getting a lot of attention right now. I don’t know why – unless he’s a believer – why would you promote that garbage? I don’t know why you would do it.”

White’s strong stance against vaccines, particularly the COVID-19 vaccine, was evident as he dismissed the necessity of such preventive measures. Despite the ongoing global pandemic, White asserted that promoting the vaccine is unnecessary, reinforcing his belief that it is not something the public needs.

In a mocking tone, White even touched on the ongoing debate surrounding mask-wearing, referring to the people with masks as “nuts” and “crazy.”

“It’s pretty f—ing obvious we don’t need it, but like I say, to each his own man. It’s like people that are still wearing masks. You’re basically just telling everybody ‘Hey, I’m nuts. Check me out, I’m f—ing crazy.”
