Russian tennis star Maria Sharapova recently revealed why she came up with candy brand, Sugarpova in 2013 and said she wanted full control of a business and not just be a marketing face.
"I already had two feet in business, because I was part of brands; I did a lot of advertisement or sponsorship stuff, and at the end of all of it was like, I was just a very small piece of the end result. I was either the face or I contributed in some of the marketing or in my opinion or a design aspect," the five-time Grand Slam champion was quoted as saying by Tennis World USA.
