If Mbappe goes to Al-Hilal for 300m we can kiss this sport goodbye lmfao. AFC CL is already boutta be fucked over by what the saudis have been pumping into their teams...
They've accepted the bid.... That's crazy what fuck-you money can do
@MHPengwingz @Astrealix honestly, who do they think is actually going to watch that football?
@WorldcupCSR @MHPengwingz @Astrealix
No one has to. That’s the point. They can drain Europe of all talent and still not care if anyone watches. It whitewashes their human rights abuses and makes it so we can’t really see the best players play. LIV Golf is the same.
Agree. LIV put their US TV rights with the CW, that's how much they care about having an audience or not. They can boast that they run a tour of a "rich person's sport" and say look how posh we are. The fact that PGA sold out eventually does not help.
Amd the salary oml
Meanwhile my local club can't afford the ~6 million HK dollars (bit under 1 mil USD) to turn professional...
