UP397 Other People's Money: The sports investment podcast

What does sport look like from the money side of the equation? What’s the investment rationale behind buying a football team, cricket franchise, the new sports tech thing or a sports agency? What are assumptions about how the market will develop? Who’s going to win, who will lose out?These are just a few of the questions we’re looking to explore in this series, with my co-host Matt Rogan, co-founder of Two Circles, C-suite consultant and someone who’s sat on either side of the sport and money divide.  00:29 The Concept of 'Other People's Money' in Sports01:11 Investor Decision Making and Sports Business02:32 Seeking New Perspectives 03:36 Due Diligence and Investment Strategies05:48 Challenges and Opportunities in Sports Investments08:27 The Real Role of Private Equity 13:40 Beyond Broadcasting and Media Rights 18:03 Minority Partnerships, Jim Ratcliffe and Women's Sports21:07 Ethical and Philosophical Questions - the Saudi question35:53 Global Investment Trends 40:34 Beyond the sports biz bubbleUnofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.
