ONE MAN'S PAIN .... LEADS TO DAVIS INKING DEAL FOR MIGRAINES
Published February 5, 1998
Super Bowl XXXII MVP Terrell Davis has signed a
multiyear deal with Novartis Pharmaceuticals to be its
spokesperson and to raise awareness for Migranal, a new
migraine treatment, according to Adam Schefter of the DENVER
POST. Migranal is the same nasal spray Davis used to treat
his migraine during the Super Bowl. Davis and Novartis will
also partner to form the "Terrell Davis Foundation for
Migraine Education and Treatment" (DENVER POST, 2/5).
Davis' deal with Novartis garnered front-page attention in
the BOSTON GLOBE where Larry Tye reports it is worth
"several hundred thousand dollars a year." Davis: "I'm not
putting my John Hancock on something I'm not truly behind."
Part of what made the deal "attractive" to Davis is the
agreement that each time he scores a touchdown next season,
he and Novartis will both contribute money to the new
foundation on migraine research (BOSTON GLOBE, 2/5).
