Radz sells Eleven Sports
Radz has sold his sports media company Eleven Sports to the DAZN Group.
Radz will become an Executive Director of DAZN..
No mention of how much he sold it for and doesn't impact us directly.
But worth a mention.
Shame he didn't include us in the sale, DAZN are absolutely minted, owned by Ukrainian born businessman (and UK and American citizen) Len Blavatnik.
He has a net worth of £26billion
As an aside, it's not known if Radz and his ex business partner are still being sued for £750million by the Chinese investors who bought his last company.
They filed paperwork years ago at the High Court in London but its not known what happened.
Anyway
Fancy a football club Mr Blavatnik

Re: Radz sells Eleven Sports
I read DAZN had posted a loss of $2.5bn last time. and that the owner has bailed them out for $4.3bn to erase the debt.Cjay wrote: ↑Tue Sep 27, 2022 11:51 am Radz has sold his sports media company Eleven Sports to the DAZN Group.

Be surprised if he hasn't taken some cash to though otherwise that's very risky for Radz.

Having had a read it seems DAZN are aiming to be like the Netflix of that market and there owner is willing to cover short term losses for potential long term gains.
It's brave but I suppose he knows what he is doing there owner
You don't accumulate his wealth if your an idiot.
It's incredible really that someone could just effectively give away $4.3billion which is basically the entirety of Mike Ashley's wealth who is another very wealthy man.

Re: Radz sells Eleven Sports
Had never heard of DAZN until I noticed their name on the podium in the photo below, which was on the BBC Sport website a few days ago, although perhaps not the DAZN that initially caught my eye.Cjay wrote: ↑Wed Sep 28, 2022 12:15 pm You're right it seems Carrick

What is the bloke on the left writing down?
Re: Radz sells Eleven Sports
Whether dazn will be a success long term is a bit like playing roulette
Very popular here in Germany but in the last six months they doubled the subscription price from 15 to 30 euros (was running at a clear loss beforehand) which has made them rather unpopular here and I think led to a lot of cancellations (me too as they only have weird football rights and lots of random sports)

I feel in the interest of research into DAZN you should watch all her weigh ins just to see if DAZN sponsor them all.
That is your mission
