Sharapova, 28, revealed on Monday that she tested positive for the banned substance meldonium in January.
A number of sponsors have already distanced themselves from the Russian five-time Grand Slam winner.
"Running a $30m business depends on you staying eligible to play tennis," Pound told BBC Sport.
