Rumours and Stuff

Rugby there is the issue...

Imagine buying into a Rugby club then the ARU signs a deal to play the games only on Pay TV or on the Free to air channels 4th channel.

How do you sign sponsors when they don't get eyeballs on their product. Very bad investment.

Substantively similar TV rights deals were in place when the Melbourne Rebels came into existence. They had full info.

Now you're just victim blaming.

If your investing money into Australian Rugby atm you may as well put in the pokie machines.

Because either way you aint getting a return on your investment.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I'm not sure all sports 'investment' is about making money. Plenty of them are just vanity projects for wealthy merkins.

So a Beef with covid?

If Covid didn't come along you can get they would still be involved in the game.

Nah David Argyle comes across as a bit of a Nathan Tinkler or a Clive Palmer only with less cash. Unreliable and full of tall tales.

That and/or marketing for their other business interests.
There’s been a big push in Vegas for sports teams because then it becomes an event destination to profit what Vegas do well, hotels and casinos.

Surely there must be a rich Saudi sheik that would love to by the eels.

Yes. It's quite surprising they aren't coming out of the woodwork, really.

They owned the team prior to the shit TV deal didnt they?

The TV deals have been shit in terms of viewable audience for ages. So yeh. The more recent ones have just been cheaper (i.e. Stan money v Fox money).

and hookers.

They don’t make money off prostitution. That’s illegal. Or drugs for that matter.
Make a bit off these “business networking event fees” though

 

[84 Baby]

But seriously even then it’d be casino takings 99.999999% of profit, accomodation/food 0.000000999999% then a pittance for everything else, then sports interests run at loss

If there's fans there will always be a club. Did the Wolfpack ever have a customer base? Or did they all die off like Norths fans?

Bears fans haven't died off

 

[TheCrowe]
