Celtics are on the block after taking NBA title. The team’s ownership group, Boston Basketball Partners LLC, has decided to sell the franchise for estate and family planning considerations, according to a Celtics statement. The owners expect to sell a majority interest this year or early 2025, with the remainder closing in 2028. The Celtics are going on sale at a time of surging valuations for pro sports teams. That’s prompted more franchises to sell minority stakes or offer up control. In the past year, the NBA alone has seen three franchises change hands, with the Phoenix Suns, Charlotte Hornets and Dallas Mavericks all going for $3 billion or more. Sportico values the Celtics at $5.1 billion, the fourth-highest in the league. The current ownership group, led by Wyc Grousbeck and including Stephen Pagliuca, bought the team for $360 million in 2002. #estateplanning #premiumfunding #lifeinsurance #premiumfinance #taxstrategies #estatetax #PPLI

Yesterday I wrote about the importance of live sports and sports to streamers…and well here we are And if you didn’t read my post: Live sports are crucial for streamers as they drive growth, retention, and sustainability. They provide a consistent draw for audiences, which is essential for platforms competing in the streaming wars. The acquisition of live sports licenses can set a streamer apart and reduce churn by attracting and retaining subscribers who demand access to live sports content.
Looking forward to more fun with the National Football League (NFL) this summer! Big thanks to the team at Cold Open for helping us continue the franchise journey we started last year with QUARTERBACK!

The NFL London Games alone won't boost the sport’s popularity in the UK – it needs its own franchise. The NFL has been growing in popularity in the UK since 2007. Its organisers have been repurposing Wembley Stadium and Tottenham Hotspur's White Hart Lane into American Football stadiums. Ten per cent of UK sports fans say they like to watch the NFL, according to Ampere Analysis, which is a credit to the London Games' success. Retrofitting stadiums have worked well to introduce new fans to American Football, although if the NFL wants to keep fans engaged, the UK needs its own franchise. A UK-based franchise would deliver purpose-built American Football stadiums, regular matches that fans could attend, and a grassroots culture in the sport. Only until serious planning and investment are made to launch a UK-domestic franchise will we see American Football truly take off in the UK. #NFLLondonSeries #stadiuminnovation #sportsfans #sportsbiz
Superb overview of sports finance today
Post #SuperBowl and there’s still so much to discuss around football! Goldman Sachs’ Greg Carey delved into all things balls, dollars and cents with Forbes #SportsMoney. In addition to discussing our own work advising and financing leagues and teams, he also highlighted the valuation gap between American and European football franchises and the influx of new capital flowing into both. Highly recommend a watch (though I am unabashedly biased), even for those like me whose sports knowledge is nearly nonexistent. https://lnkd.in/eT3JZRE8
Did you know that the New York Jets' victory against the Philadelphia Eagles is the first time that has happened in the regular season in NY Jets franchise history? Check out my article on Empire Sports Media where I discuss more about the game. #NewYorkJets #NFL
Good ownership in action
One thing I've loved about this franchise is that we're going to be a contender every year. For those who do not know the name Zach Currier, imagine one of the best two-way players in any sport. This guy is a lockdown defender, a loose ball magnet, will score several goals, and immediately makes our team better. In addition, we got a few draft picks to help us stay young and fast! Great trade for the Seals! https://lnkd.in/ekPfMZsp
Selfless leadership and full team commitment yield great results.
The Lions are one win away from the Super Bowl.
