But the more interesting story isn't at the top, it's in the layer underneath. Richard Gillis talks to David Dellea, Christophe Sommer and Matt Del Percio about where capital is actually moving, what the $400 billion ecosystem really means when you strip out the double counting, and whether anyone has the nerve to call time on the bubble question.Altman Solon's Global Sports Survey: The Next Frontier of Sports Investment is available now. Altman Solon’s 7th Global Sports Survey provides a comprehensive view of the evolving sports landscape, featuring insights from 250 sports executives globally, including rights owners, investment professionals, and media companies, as well as 6,000 sports fans across the U.S., U.K., Germany, Spain, Italy, and France.Download the report for free by clicking this link: https://altsl.co/4n1i7VBUnofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.
