The Las Vegas Thread

I don’t know what success will look like after five years but you‘ve got to set a target of some sought to measure it so 1% isn’t overly ambitious, is it? If it’s a flop, they’ll decide after if it’s worth another five years of investment, I guess.

The EPL averages 500k, so yes 3.5m is overly ambitious.

Where did I say that moron?

Oh so you agree with what I said, you are just having a sook about who posted it.

The Yanks have never embraced soccer, rugbah loig is a different beast.

That is how I look at it, Need to have a goal. Whether they get it or even close we soon will find out

Give him a few hours, He is finishing off Gil

Easily. We're all still talking about afl, right?

We're talking about everything on here, not just drop ball

If it just makes a good profit that enough

Las Vegas are already paying the nrl to host it so if it’s a success that amount will go up

getting league into America isn’t a massive priority

taking over the south pacific is

I totally get where the anti brigade are coming from in thinking it’s a waste of money or it’ll flop but I don’t get the anger (it at least feels angry) at anyone who dares to be optimistic. I don’t know if it will work or not but I love the daring.

Now there's a new name for RL rugbah loig lol

Can you quote literally any pro afl posts in my 11,000 posts? You're obsessed with me, so you must have some you can find.

So do you believe that it's only possible to be an NRL fan if you think we are going to get 3+ million viewers in America?

I think they'd sook anyway.

What is the alternative to trying it?

Unless we are all prepared to Drop $100-$200 a month to stream RL, at some stage the TV money will bottom out.

If you compare RL to other sports/comps we need to get some big money in.

Cricket has India - That will ensure the sport survives.

Soccer is Oil money

RU - has the private school elite.

US Sports speak for themselves.

RL has nothing like that, So I have no problem with trying something like this

If V’landys doesn’t trademark it first

The NBA averages less than 2m

Has The NBA’s In-Season Tournament Paid Off? These TV Ratings Suggest Yes—Probably.

NBA TV ratings have inched up in recent weeks, with quarterfinals games for the league’s first-ever In-Season Tournament beginning Monday.

Averaging over 3m would make it bigger than pretty much every sport other than NFL. That's not optimism. That's delusion on the level of the afl fans that thought they'd take over China.

 

[Maximus]

So you are pro Vegas?

I've already answered why I'm opposed to it.

I don't support Vlandys using the sport to promote his gambling interests, and he makes clear every time he's interviewed that gambling is his top priority in it.

The weirdest part is how much they want it to fail. It’s pretty pathetic really.

Except the story on the previous page, He didn't mention gambling once.
