He's worked running sports agencies so I'd find it hard to believe it was 300 million since he's never had huge huge clients, maybe 30 million. If he is worth 1/3 of a billion then great.

Blackdude Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Just one thing. I don't see Radio-Canada being involved in it. They've never done sports since they lost La Soriée du Hockey aside from Olympic sports except for the time they had Impact games and they were always on Saturday at 2 PM. You won'T get any night games with them. (Yes I know they showed an away game in Carolina that was delayed due to thunderstorms super late, but that's the exception, not the rule) TVA won't show any sports on their local TV. They have a daily 30 minutes show about the city's sports (haven't watch the show though because it's not my city), but it's at around 2 PM, so not an a timeslot that would give the team some coverage. The thing is that RDS and TVA Sports have 4 channels between them that if there's a place you want to be in on TV. (I didn't count RDS Info, becase they only show events if there's a time conflict) Both of those networks have a journalist who works with them out of the city mostly to cover the Rouge et Or and the Remparts and sometimes the Capitales. I do think that it would be hard sell unless they're taking it from another TV feed. TVA Sports pretty much fired the crew doing Impact games and got a subcontractor to do the games. RDS doesn't bring a crew for a lot of events. I do think that if a contract is done on the English side, a deal with a French side can be easily done. And if it happens, they would probably get more viewers. Look at the MLS all-star game. There wasn't a big difference between the viewership on TVA Sports and TSN.

MtlMario Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Speaking of TVA, when Garber was in Mtl about a month ago, he was interviewed on the Impact this week show(French) and during the interview he mentioned the new Cdn league twice but the French translation at the bottom of the screen was not mentioned at all. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Radio-Canada.ca has pretty constant articles of decent quality. I wouldn't be surprised to see some nice CPL articles in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Are the Brazzers and Pornhub guys soccer fans?? They would bring marketing and promotion to a new level if involved in a team.

(Still have no idea how much money Fath has) $115m is a lot but it's well below the other known players so far (Bluebombers and Young). I have a good feeling they're looking for people or groups who are worth around $300m on the low end for stability. Anyone else in KW have that kind of cash on board ya think based on buzz?

One of the best fan bases in all of North America and they hate MLS. Almost 8,000 fans at a NPSL playoff game is crazy. They'd probably average 10,000 plus in CPL and would provide a stable spot for 10ish more Canadians to play pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The USSF gave Club Tijuana the go ahead to play regular season Liga MX games in San Diego a little white back (though the FMF disallowed it) and basically allowed Chivas to put their u23 team in MLS for ten years, so it's not entirely unprecedented for the USSF to allow foreign leagues to have teams play in the US. As long as the USSF has the same level of control over DCFC as we have over TFC I don't think there would be an issue unless Detroit gets their shit together for MLS.

Rheo Posted August 6, 2017 Share Posted August 6, 2017 Sadly it looks like the Detroit MLS bid will come through. They're getting the stadium land they need with government subsidies. Then to make matters worse they're giving a big FU to DCFC by trademarking DCSC. Really hope the team fails miserably johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
