Somebody is being exploited, if you can turn off your man crush on Jordan for a minute you will see it
What business is it of yours and mine what someone else thought MJ endorsement was worth?  You aren't paying him and you aren't wearing any underwear on TV.  For that matter what business is it of ours what the other workers involved were paid to likewise participate in the production and sale of the underwear.  You aren't working at a textile mill and I'm convinced you didn't own a portion of Haynes.  As long as no forced labor was involved and the workers (including MJ) were free from undue coercion or violence then we have no business whatsoever objecting to the contracts they decided were more than fair.  Furthermore if you bought the Haynes underwear you likely did so freely.

In all likelihood MJ's endorsement increased sales and the price charged for the underwear.  It was this prospect which may have brought about the decision to employ these workers.  Apparently if they willingly agreed to work for Haynes they are pleased to have the opportunity.
