UFC Looks to Tribal Land to Be First U.S. Sport Back

from Bloomberg Business of Sports · host Bloomberg

Eben Novy-Williams and Michael Barr are joined by longtime Boston radio personality Mike Lynch to discuss a host of issues related to the business of sports, including the UFC's decision to host an event in two weeks on tribal land in California. Like many in the sports world, UFC is likely feeling financial pressure to host events in some capacity so that viewers can watch them from their couches. UFC is owned by talent agency and media giant Endeavor, and a pair of private equity firms. Also talked about is a lawsuit filed by minority owners of the Arizona Diamondbacks, who say they're being illegally forced to sell their small stakes in the team, and a bizarre sequence from Tuesday night when FanDuel briefly posted, then removed, betting odds on the 2020 presidential election for its gambling clients in West Virginia.Hosts: Eben Novy-Williams and Michael BarrProducer: Tim HerroSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
