Manchester United owners, former Formula One owners show interest in new IPL franchise

[cricketjoshila]

These are staggering amounts. Do these teams get good returns on their investments? Somehow not sold on the valuations. Is IPL so profitable?!

See the buy amount is spread over 10 years and then it goes away. But you keep the team in perpetuity.

Plus you get the AD visibility like no one else.

Lucknow Lancers

Ahmedabad Aces

My choice names.

Hopefully Goenka comes up with a better name for Lucknow than the Rising Pune Supergiants.

Hopefully.

Soon expect teams like Kkr or RR to be acquired by big corporates. The amount of money people are willing to spend to own a IPL team means non billionaires will sell out and get huge profits.

Liverpool co-owners Redbird Capital Partners have a 15% stake in Rajasthan Royals.

Yes they do. I expect atleast Adani to try and buy out a team. He has now missed twice.

Lucknow Lancers

Ahmedabad Aces

My choice names.

Lancer would probably get some flack because of Mitsubishi Lancer.

Ahmedabad Aces are alright but bland.

Names need to be standout in my opinion, that's where the brand begins.

Whoever needs to make a good name will probably be beating his/her head on the wall.

Rising Lucknow Supergiants?

 

[topspin]

Quite possible. T20 cricket is the future and and IPL is the highest form of T20 cricket. In fact, it is better than bilateral ODI cricket already.

Thank you BCCI for this experience.

Indeed, thank you BCCI for this experience
