All The Twenty Minute VC coverage
Andrea Gaudenzi says tennis can grow from $4 billion to $10 billion if it finally sells itself as one sport
The ATP chair’s big pitch is simple, and maddeningly hard: tennis has the audience of a giant and the sales machinery of a group project.
Ahmad Nassar says future tennis pay could give Federer $10 million and another Australian Open champion $5 million
The PTPA chief is arguing for “fair share” over revenue share, which sounds reasonable until the popularity contest walks on court.
James Haskell says Wasps offered him £120,000 while he was playing for England
The former England flanker makes the grim rugby money case, players deserve more, but the business model can’t pay them.
Charlie Methven says Ipswich Town spent more on transfers than Barcelona, AC Milan, Juventus and PSG
The Premier League transfer market has reached the point where a promoted English club can look richer than European royalty.
Nikhil Mohindra says padel participation will overtake tennis in 10 years
The Team GB padel player makes the bullish case for the sport, then accidentally explains why the boom could also eat itself.
Charlie Stubbings says the FA can oppose Gianni Infantino because FIFA money is only 0.5% of its revenue
The sports-business argument here is blunt: England has enough money, status, and safety to stop pretending it has to kiss the FIFA ring.
