236 Two-headed Dragon(2/2)

"Help me, and you are also helping yourself, Mr. Donald, I just found a win-win opportunity for all parties.

What do you think is missing from the sports entertainment group I just described?”

Obviously, it is not a lack of a chairman. Of course, the real estate businessman feels that if Bai Quinn invites him, he can also reluctantly serve him. Anyway, he also knows entertainment and sports very well.

Bai Quinn couldn't let the atmosphere be cold for too long. Seeing that the real estate businessman was reluctant to answer, he simply reminded: "Rugby..."

"It's football!" The real estate businessman immediately realized, "Turner Sports lost the NFL broadcasting rights! By the way, how much did ESPN get? Oh, $500 million a year... This time he bought it out by his family. In the past, you two shared it equally!"

To be honest, the words of real estate businessmen are quite heart-wrenching. If Turner Sports is a listed company, its share price will drop by at least 30% if it loses its NFL broadcasting rights.

But Bai Quinn pushed over and said, "Yes, we lack football, so we need you."

"Do you want to restart USFL?" The real estate businessman's voice became sharp because he was too surprised.

USFL, full name of the NFL, was once a challenger in the professional football industry, and launched a charge against the huge NFL.

However, the outcomes of the two are completely different.

AFL eventually merged with NFL, while USFL ceased operations in 1986.

The real estate businessman is one of the shareholders of USFL, the former boss of the New Jersey Generals, and the last person to "send" USFL away.

Many industry insiders believe that it was the flirting operation of real estate merchants who were in power in the USFL at that time that led to the USFL bankruptcy.

What is most criticized is that real estate businessmen have switched USFL game time from spring and summer to autumn, and want to compete with the NFL in terms of game time.

The result was naturally that he was beaten very badly by the big brother.

Then he launched an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL and invited many politicians to stand up for him, hoping to make the NFL bow down and absorb the USFL into the NFL system, just like the merger of AFL.

Since you can create a "two-headed dragon", it is not impossible to create a "three-headed dragon" Gidora.

It's really not possible!

The NFL also mobilized all resources to engage in offensive and defensive battles with the USFL in various battlefields such as courts, Capitol Hill, government agencies, etc. The final result was that the monopoly lawsuit lost, and the bosses of the USFL teams who could not afford to burn money fell apart, and the USFL was forced to go bankrupt and close.
