Speaker 1: You're listening to Bloomberg Business Week with Carol Masser and
Speaker 1: Bloomberg Quick Takes Tim Stinovic on Bloomberg Radio. It was
Speaker 1: gonna bring Baron Davison because he's listening here because we're
Speaker 1: talking about sports obviously everything and anything, but you're listening
Speaker 1: to about kind of what's going on geo politically. UM.
Speaker 1: Baron is founder and CEO Baron Davis Enterprises. He's a
Speaker 1: two time NBA All Star, sirial entrepreneur, He's an investor,
Speaker 1: He's founded several companies. You're a busy guy. I've been busy.
Speaker 1: How do you what well, you know, you're listening to
Speaker 1: us and there's just so much going on UM today.
Speaker 1: When you think about geopolitical events, how do how do
Speaker 1: you think about it? And how do you think about it?
Speaker 1: Because you are an investor, I'm I'm assuming you watch
Speaker 1: the financial markets for sure. I think, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: like if you pay attention to the world, the rhythm
Speaker 1: of the world, the trends of the world, I think
Speaker 1: that you know, as an investor, you can always pretty
Speaker 1: much tell when history is going to repeat it so right,
Speaker 1: and so you know, I would say for an is
Speaker 1: like studying history, understanding you know, what's happening from a
Speaker 1: global perspective, who's being affected and how that works all
Speaker 1: the way down the pipeline to like someone like me
Speaker 1: or us right just living citizens, um you know, uh
Speaker 1: in in the United States. And so for me, I'm
Speaker 1: I pay attention to you know, our our our thought leaders, right,
Speaker 1: our presidents, and and our global leaders, because they should
Speaker 1: be the ones, right who who should align and be
Speaker 1: able to fix the problems right or help kind of
Speaker 1: cure and solve problems. But I think that you know
Speaker 1: where we are today with Bloomberg, and you know, just
Speaker 1: events like these, we have to also do our job
Speaker 1: from you know, the bottom up right, and you know,
Speaker 1: a lot of the economic problems we're facing, a lot
Speaker 1: of the hardships. I think it's it's more community oriented
Speaker 1: and figuring out how to you know, contribute these macro finances,
Speaker 1: you know, to these micro financial businesses that can sustain.
Speaker 1: So with that being said, where are you seeing opportunities
Speaker 1: right now in the market. A lot of opportunities I'm
Speaker 1: starting to see in the health obviously in the healthcare space,
Speaker 1: health tech is is hued. I think financial education, financial literacy,
Speaker 1: so fintech. And then you know a space that I'm
Speaker 1: super passionate about is this whole new Web three gaming,
Speaker 1: you know, n f T market. Let's define Web three
Speaker 1: for our audience because we have Web one, which is
Speaker 1: the traditional sort of you know, uh, processing of information
Speaker 1: and seeing something like a newspaper online. Web two traditionally
Speaker 1: referred to as Facebook, social media, Instagram, smartphones. And then
Speaker 1: here we are with reb Web three where we talked
Speaker 1: about the immersive experience. Yeah, and I think the immersive
Speaker 1: experiences like once again, like every time we go through
Speaker 1: an iteration is like core cutting. And I think that
Speaker 1: you know, Web two was really about you know, your
Speaker 1: information being trust you trust your information for someone to
Speaker 1: give you in information, right, And so that was the
Speaker 1: case with Facebook until it all went wrong. Right, And
Speaker 1: so now this whole Web three approaches, how can we
Speaker 1: create communities around the same thoughts right where we can
Speaker 1: actually have a decentralized approach, meaning a community voting approach
Speaker 1: to say, hey, we support this, we support these initiatives
Speaker 1: and these values. And now the data is coming off
Speaker 1: of Web two, right, and now Web three is saying
Speaker 1: you should own your own data, and then you should
Speaker 1: be able to license your data to a Facebook or
Speaker 1: a Snapchat or an Instagram because that that is your content.
Speaker 1: So you know, I would say, you know, Web three
Speaker 1: is really for the independent, the publisher, right uh, the artists,
Speaker 1: right the person who thought that they never had a
Speaker 1: chance to you know, get their artwork scene or or
Speaker 1: get their talent seing. And this is this communal approach
Speaker 1: of developed web developers, right uh, community managers, marketing and
Speaker 1: social media managers, UM, studio production, VR, visual effects, things
Speaker 1: like that that people are coming together, you know, in
Speaker 1: the thousands and saying, hey, we love this project. We
Speaker 1: all want to be a part of it. And the
Speaker 1: incentives are really like about the artists. And so I
Speaker 1: think this next wave of you know, economics is really
Speaker 1: going to penetrate to Web three. When you think about
Speaker 1: you know, health insurance and you think about privacy, you know,
Speaker 1: you think about being able to create a system of
Speaker 1: micro payments where you know, the bottom can benefit just
Speaker 1: as well as the top. And so that's where I'm
Speaker 1: most excited about. Are there companies in particular that you've
Speaker 1: put some money towards our some investments in that you
Speaker 1: that kind of play to that, Yeah, you know, we
Speaker 1: have a partnership with Immutable UM, you know in the
Speaker 1: mutables chain, agnostic and marketplaces and protocols UM. So we
Speaker 1: we have a partnership for m t U, which is
Speaker 1: our adventure studio. And Web three UM we made an
Speaker 1: investment and uh and and and companies before like Web
Speaker 1: two companies that can now have the opportunity to migrate
Speaker 1: over so UM a fantasy app called Sleeper right which
Speaker 1: already made gift emojis and had you know this community
Speaker 1: community interaction of like day to day UM communication from
Speaker 1: a fantasy team. And so now I think they have
Speaker 1: the ability to kind of transfer into you know, this
Speaker 1: whole Web three n f T space. Well, let's talk
Speaker 1: about the n f T space. And you think about
Speaker 1: sports memorabilia like you talk about you know, individuals athletes
Speaker 1: like owning their own data, but also owning and really
Speaker 1: being able to monetize memorabilia like this could just explode
Speaker 1: or or should explode. No, I mean it should write
Speaker 1: uh absolutely UM, And I like right now to give
Speaker 1: a shout out to my team more than us. We
Speaker 1: came up with a concept of being more than us,
Speaker 1: like having a collective of people and keep adding collectives
Speaker 1: of people to do collectives of projects. And I'm super
Speaker 1: excited about UM. Our project called History of the Game.
Speaker 1: And History of the Game is to decentralize the Hall
Speaker 1: of Fame, right because where you know, I always ask players,
Speaker 1: whereas the Hall of Fame, you know, it's like Springfield's
Speaker 1: like have you been no? And you know the legends, right,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm in the green room with Bernie Kozar and
Speaker 1: Jim Brown, right, and I'm seeing legends like Spencer Haywood
Speaker 1: and basketball and George the Iceman government. Yeah, it's pretty cool. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And it's and it's like, if we can build this
Speaker 1: metaverse experience, right, whereas this never ending louver of storytelling,
Speaker 1: then those older players they get to give us the
Speaker 1: history of the game and bring us to modern age
Speaker 1: and so you know, back to history. At the time,
Speaker 1: we're living in decades that are evolving every three years,
Speaker 1: so every three years like a decade. Well, and you know,
Speaker 1: it's funny that you say that, bar because I also
Speaker 1: do think about what you said about UM kind of
Speaker 1: ownership of the information and then financial literacy or or
Speaker 1: areas that you're investing in, and I think about this
Speaker 1: is an opportunity for athletes to actually have some financial
Speaker 1: futures when so many right get out of the game
Speaker 1: and they're not in a good way. Yeah, and and
Speaker 1: I think there is a revolution that's happening, right if
Speaker 1: you look at this summit here, you know, with Bloomberg
Speaker 1: at the super Bowl, you look around there are a
Speaker 1: lot of athletes, a lot of athletes who have venture funds,
Speaker 1: family office, startup companies, um. And I would say that
Speaker 1: was not happening you know at the capacity and the eighties,
Speaker 1: the nineties, even the two thousand's, and so you know,
Speaker 1: now these athletes are at these summits, right, Bloomberg is
Speaker 1: reaching out to the athletes, right and and and I
Speaker 1: think people are starting to find in their commonplace right
Speaker 1: and and for us, it's all about business inside the game.
Speaker 1: What is the business inside the game of your industry
Speaker 1: right that you can learn from and your sport that
Speaker 1: you can translate, you know to life after your sport
Speaker 1: and you think how you got you can help other
Speaker 1: players to cut and stuff. Thank you so much, Thank you, Baron.
Speaker 1: This was awesome, Founder and CEO of Baron Davis Enterprises
Speaker 1: and of course two time NBA or Star. This past
Speaker 1: year has been a remarkable one and how we are
Speaker 1: all viewing folks going into space, it's pretty amazing professional
Speaker 1: astronauts or Captain Kirk. It's kind of no, but I
Speaker 1: would do it. Um. But it's you know, really changing,
Speaker 1: and some say could he be even a sport? Um
Speaker 1: let's begin. Ecoed the CEO at the privately held space
Speaker 1: entertainment tourism company Zero Gravity Corporation. He is here on
Speaker 1: site with us at the Power Players summit. Welcome, Thank
Speaker 1: you so much for having me. Space tourism. It's not
Speaker 1: necessarily a to actually go out to space. So none
Speaker 1: of these, with the exception of flying up with Elon,
Speaker 1: is going into space. I mean, so you don't buy that.
Speaker 1: You don't think the Virgin Galactic goes into space. Well,
Speaker 1: technically neither of them are or say orbital, and there's
Speaker 1: the Carmen line, which is this you know number that
Speaker 1: they say is space. But from basis goes higher than that.
Speaker 1: He goes basically to the Carmen line. Richard goes and
Speaker 1: slightly below it. But when you wouldn't really talk about space,
Speaker 1: you're talking either suborbital which is them and really us
Speaker 1: and some others that are developing, but they have to
Speaker 1: blast off. Well you're going up on a rockets and um,
Speaker 1: but you know you've got to get out of the
Speaker 1: Earth's gravity to basically say yeah, I'm truly in space.
Speaker 1: Go wrong, you know, sorry, there's stuff that go wrong
Speaker 1: with my car, trying to get here today. All right,
Speaker 1: to tell us about what you guys are doing. So
Speaker 1: what we're doing, we've been around for a while, is
Speaker 1: we create the experience of being in space and zero
Speaker 1: gravity where you're floating, doing somersaults, hanging in mid air,
Speaker 1: very similar to being out in orbit or on the
Speaker 1: International Space Station. And we do it via are very
Speaker 1: highly customized Bowing seven twenty seven one same size I
Speaker 1: went online. It's pretty cool. It's very cool. It's very unique.
Speaker 1: And we basically pitch up at about UM fifty degrees.
Speaker 1: You're feeling a little under two gs. So what that
Speaker 1: means is like your body weight is sort of pulling
Speaker 1: you down. Doesn't hurt, it's just weird. And then when
Speaker 1: you get up to the top, you literally start floating
Speaker 1: off the off the mats and now you are in
Speaker 1: zero gravity and you have the exact and when we
Speaker 1: train astronauts, we have astronats on it. It's the same
Speaker 1: feeling as being on the I S. S. What's the
Speaker 1: altitude you go to? It's not a function of altitude.
Speaker 1: It's a function of how quickly you climb and fall exactly.
Speaker 1: And again people also think it's the fall. You actually
Speaker 1: start witlessness at the top of the parabola, so by
Speaker 1: the time the plane is kind of tipped over, you
Speaker 1: already back on the mats. And then we're getting wady
Speaker 1: to do it again totally acceleration and velocity. What's the
Speaker 1: demand been for your business? Have they gone crazier too?
Speaker 1: With everybody else shooting up into space? So it was
Speaker 1: going well for us? Is there in Kirk effect? I
Speaker 1: think exactly, Um, you know, space has become so topical,
Speaker 1: you know, And again thinks I think to really elon,
Speaker 1: you know, with the reusable rocket, and then with with
Speaker 1: Richard Branson with Virgin and then with Jeff with what
Speaker 1: he's doing with Blue Origin. These people are seeing spaces
Speaker 1: something that's in their consciousness, and we give you more
Speaker 1: time and zero gravity than they do. You just don't
Speaker 1: get the view. You're not, you know with them, you
Speaker 1: should be you know, planted at the window looking at
Speaker 1: the Blue Earth. With us, you're basically doing somersaults and
Speaker 1: flying like Superman, and in doing these things, which are
Speaker 1: the uber coolest thing a person can do. I would
Speaker 1: also imagine a little cheaper than going on a trip
Speaker 1: on how much. So it's about two to come up
Speaker 1: with us um for about seven eight minutes of zero
Speaker 1: gravity time. With Richard, it's about four fifty. And though
Speaker 1: they don't they don't have a price yet with Bezos,
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna guess it's about a million five And
Speaker 1: we've seen people pay upwards of tens of millions of dollars. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think, you know. I think the most expensive was
Speaker 1: the first one, which is the I think spent twenty profitable. Um,
Speaker 1: we are, I'd like to say we're pro form or profitable.
Speaker 1: We invest a lot in the business, but we're generating
Speaker 1: cash and growing. We're gonna take on two new planes,
Speaker 1: two more planes to build out the demands there and
Speaker 1: the demands not just there from cool experiences, but for science.
Speaker 1: So have for a business of science like what specifically,
Speaker 1: So a lot of a lot of science that's done
Speaker 1: on the plane is how do things act in microgravity
Speaker 1: or in the space, So fluid transfers, how things come together,
Speaker 1: all these things, and with the space stations being built now,
Speaker 1: the need for even more of that is there. And
Speaker 1: we train astronauts. The last four that went up on
Speaker 1: inspiration for training with us. The next four they are
Speaker 1: going up at the end of March with Axiom and
Speaker 1: the Space station training with us. So part of that
Speaker 1: initial feeling before you get up there is coming to
Speaker 1: us that you're getting so yes. So for some of
Speaker 1: the projects we are working with NASA and some of
Speaker 1: the other things we do, we definitely get government contracts.
Speaker 1: We've actually just got a fairly big one in a
Speaker 1: competitive environment to basically do a lot of super things.
Speaker 1: And and there's one thing I can't quite yet announce
Speaker 1: now that think is the coolest um. But the other
Speaker 1: thing we're looking to do is wait, wait, wait, wait,
Speaker 1: you could I can't. Yeah you could, but you want
Speaker 1: to go to jail um. So the really cool thing
Speaker 1: we've actually been thinking about and here we are at
Speaker 1: as a sports summit, is introducing a high gravity training program.
Speaker 1: So basically, when you're climbing like this, you're pulling two
Speaker 1: gs and the atmosphere in the plane is similar to
Speaker 1: be like like like Tahoe, heard about them, you know,
Speaker 1: so the same environment as being in Lake Tahoe as
Speaker 1: far as you know pressure and now you've got two g's.
Speaker 1: So think of doing push ups twice your body weight
Speaker 1: at Lake Tahoe, just as an example. So instead of
Speaker 1: doing the pair, um parable isn't giving all that. I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna go up, down, up, down and give you
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes of literally the highest intensity, coolest workout
Speaker 1: known to man. Geographic expansion with these other planes, are
Speaker 1: you staying in one area? Are you going around the
Speaker 1: count the World's the plane moves. It's in California today,
Speaker 1: it's in Miami. Next week we're in New York, which
Speaker 1: is another fit, really cool one where you take helicopters
Speaker 1: from the city to the plane. UM Kennedy Space Center
Speaker 1: is a really cool one where we do the shuttle
Speaker 1: landing facility to take a little tour around NASAs. You know,
Speaker 1: Elon's launchpad. So and I should you know, we should
Speaker 1: do a segment on this. We should how many So
Speaker 1: in an average year, how many people are going up?
Speaker 1: So we'll do a hundred total flights this year. Fifty
Speaker 1: of them will be consumer related fifty. I would say,
Speaker 1: I would say a thousand people on on you know,
Speaker 1: basically is it is probably a good number of consumers,
Speaker 1: but then a lot of scientists as well. But oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we're gonna we have capacity. We will fill
Speaker 1: capacity for the next three two Could you get could
Speaker 1: you get costs down? Difficult? It's a really expensive business.
Speaker 1: It's just you know, we're flying airplanes. You know, it's
Speaker 1: it's just it's it's a tough business. So if we could,
Speaker 1: we would. And it's not like volume, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: even taking another plane, same insurance, same that same that
Speaker 1: some economies. But um but again it's a it's the
Speaker 1: cost of a business class ticket to Europe to basically
Speaker 1: have the coolest thing that you can post on Instagram
Speaker 1: and even better, somebody talks about the bigger house or
Speaker 1: car they have. You show him your video like an astronaut,
Speaker 1: you say, top this, You're the coolest kid in in
Speaker 1: the block. Then, um, macco, thank you so much. We
Speaker 1: really appreciate Zero Gravity Corporation joining us. He's the CEO
Speaker 1: of that company. A great people in a great city. Yes, well,
Speaker 1: those dulcet tones are totally Banta Caine. He's two times
Speaker 1: Super Bowl shamp former lineback, winning back to back rings
Speaker 1: with the Patriots six seasons, two seasons with the forty niners.
Speaker 1: And he's also worked with the sports platform Obsession and
Speaker 1: he is with us here the Power Players Something. How
Speaker 1: are you, I'm great, Thanks for having me. Well, it's
Speaker 1: great to have you here. Um, you know, when you
Speaker 1: come to an event like this, there's people, you know,
Speaker 1: it's just the world of sports is just exploding on
Speaker 1: so many different levels. You know, what is it that's
Speaker 1: interesting for you right now? When you look at the
Speaker 1: game and what's interesting? I mean when I played, there
Speaker 1: was no social media. There was no Twitter, no Instagram,
Speaker 1: any of that stuff. I mean was at the tail
Speaker 1: end of my career. So for players now just to
Speaker 1: have the that platform or so many platforms to get
Speaker 1: to engage with their fans and and to really tell
Speaker 1: their stories. I mean, that's an awesome time for sports
Speaker 1: in general. Hey, I want to talk a little bit
Speaker 1: about going from player to coach and in changing sort
Speaker 1: of the idea of of what you're doing out there
Speaker 1: on the field. Um, how do you do that? How
Speaker 1: do you make that transition and how do you how
Speaker 1: do you take what you learned as a player and
Speaker 1: help younger people and people earlier in their careers. Uh, well,
Speaker 1: you just have to, you know, reflect on the time
Speaker 1: that when you were a kid or when you were
Speaker 1: young and and realize that you know, uh, these kids
Speaker 1: are just they're trying to get where you're at, and
Speaker 1: so you have you have to draw from that knowledge
Speaker 1: and experience. Um, and from going from player to coach.
Speaker 1: I think it's a lot of when you listen and
Speaker 1: watch other styles of coaches, then you can kind of
Speaker 1: see what works for you or what worked for you
Speaker 1: and what didn't work for you and try to make
Speaker 1: it your own all you know what we all want
Speaker 1: to ask you. So he talked to us about playing
Speaker 1: with the Patriots and Tom Brady, Uh dream come true?
Speaker 1: I mean, uh, I still it's been over ten years now.
Speaker 1: It's just when I look back, it's hard to really
Speaker 1: believe that that happened to me. But uh, when I
Speaker 1: was drafted to New England, Um, did you want to
Speaker 1: be there? You know? I didn't even know where it
Speaker 1: was to be honest, I didn't had no idea where
Speaker 1: New England was, what it was about. I knew they
Speaker 1: had won a Super Bowl two years prior. Um, so
Speaker 1: getting there and being able to win a Super Bowl
Speaker 1: my rookie year was like really because I never went
Speaker 1: to a bowl game in college, went to Berkeley, you know,
Speaker 1: the powerhouse. Uh and uh. Then to win it back
Speaker 1: to back was just like, oh man, I'm on the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl every year. And then obviously playing with great
Speaker 1: guys like Tom Brady and that whole team you know,
Speaker 1: from the Mike Vrabels to the Teddy Bruce Ki's, Troy Browns.
Speaker 1: I mean, everyone that was on that team was just
Speaker 1: a special type of player because you do realize that
Speaker 1: everybody has the same experience, like the same you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, there are other players with was where
Speaker 1: it doesn't necessarily go so well, like you know, something's magical. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I was just talking to Eric Dickerson, who
Speaker 1: was like, you know, did you play? I was like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I played. He's like, whould you play? With New England always?
Speaker 1: So you want some rings and I want some rings?
Speaker 1: Do you win some rings? No? I didn't win any rings,
Speaker 1: you know, so it's like wow, I mean this is
Speaker 1: Eric Dickerson, you know, kind of you know, and all
Speaker 1: of the fact that I want wings, and it's like,
Speaker 1: you know, there are a lot of stories where I
Speaker 1: have you know, I don't take for granted the fact
Speaker 1: that I want two of them. Um surprised by Brady's
Speaker 1: retirement at all? Uh? I mean I'm not surprised because
Speaker 1: I didn't want I wanted him to go out where
Speaker 1: the game didn't take him out. You don't want to
Speaker 1: see him leaving the game on a stretcher, right, So
Speaker 1: the fact that he was able to do it on
Speaker 1: his own terms, Uh, it's great. But I don't count
Speaker 1: him out making a comeback. I don't. I don't know
Speaker 1: when the type of person he is, if he stays
Speaker 1: in shape, uh, and he sees an opportunity to win
Speaker 1: another one, he's gonna take it. Knowing who he is,
Speaker 1: Where would he do that? There's other teams, But there's
Speaker 1: other teams. I mean, you know, I'm sure he would.
Speaker 1: I mean San Francisco would be Uh would be a
Speaker 1: good fit considering that was his childhood dream team. Well,
Speaker 1: it's interesting too as a player, you know, and there's this,
Speaker 1: you know, the conversations we often have at these events
Speaker 1: is players who play really well and then come and
Speaker 1: then they're done and then they're in a tough way
Speaker 1: or financially or thinking about what comes next. How do
Speaker 1: you think about that? UM, I mean, I think it's
Speaker 1: a serious issue among a lot of players because you know,
Speaker 1: you've gotta think you're coming into a professional game at
Speaker 1: years old. You don't really have that much business acumen
Speaker 1: of business sense. So when you get into the real world,
Speaker 1: the NFL can prepare you in certain ways with you know,
Speaker 1: teamwork and working with people, but there are other things
Speaker 1: that you kind of miss by not playing or not
Speaker 1: being in that realm. So I think a lot of
Speaker 1: players they try to get into it and it's it's
Speaker 1: can be overwhelming. Hey, we've been speaking a lot of
Speaker 1: today about the Brian Flores lawsuit and the lack of
Speaker 1: diversity in the NFL, especially at the coaching level, not
Speaker 1: to mention the ownership of team levels. Would be curious
Speaker 1: to get your thoughts on on on this and and
Speaker 1: and where you see things right now? Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: the game is changing, uh, and the league itself is
Speaker 1: changing where you know, they're they're trying to make room
Speaker 1: for for guy minority players and coach players obviously, but
Speaker 1: the coaching realm is UH is wide open, and I
Speaker 1: think there's so many worthy candidates to get in it. So, um,
Speaker 1: where isn't it happening? Well, uh, you know, it's a
Speaker 1: it's you gotta look at the top. I mean the
Speaker 1: ownership is I would say, what, uh Caucasian or what's
Speaker 1: the right word, Uh, European descent. So um, you know,
Speaker 1: I think when there's a time where players may come
Speaker 1: together and you know, uh crowdsource some money and and
Speaker 1: uh maybe on on on their own league, well you know,
Speaker 1: it's thinking about your background, your African American right also
Speaker 1: said it's great. But but but that's so American, like
Speaker 1: we're all got you know, the melting pot. But it's
Speaker 1: so true, right, that's our common ground owned. But I'm
Speaker 1: just curious, you know, why we don't understand that that's
Speaker 1: the threat of America, right, And why isn't there more
Speaker 1: of that common ground in sports in the NFL and
Speaker 1: just more generally. Well, I do think it's involved. I
Speaker 1: think it's gotten better if you look back just in
Speaker 1: the history of time. But I think with everything happening
Speaker 1: now with social media, the Internet, we're seeing a change.
Speaker 1: And I think the game and what I'm actually about
Speaker 1: to start doing myself. I'm founding a new type of
Speaker 1: league or a new type of exhibition game for NFL players.
Speaker 1: That's kind of what's happening with boxing, where you see
Speaker 1: Jake Paul and Magweather getting these big events, but we
Speaker 1: don't even know who's the the up and coming title
Speaker 1: title runner, right. So I think the same thing can
Speaker 1: happen with the NFL where you can get an exhibition
Speaker 1: type game put together, where guys can play one time
Speaker 1: in a pay per view event, and and and people
Speaker 1: eat it up. What does that look like? Is that
Speaker 1: something that happens in the US. Does it go abroad?
Speaker 1: How is it? How is it paid for? How is
Speaker 1: it supported? Uh? Well, similar to just like the boxing realm,
Speaker 1: You've got big sponsorship money, but the pay per view
Speaker 1: itself will will I think based on the ticket price
Speaker 1: will cover it. Uh And then you look at players,
Speaker 1: you know, being able to get a percentage of that
Speaker 1: pay per view seals players get a bigger piece of it,
Speaker 1: right exactly. So that's something I'm actually in the works
Speaker 1: of right now of putting together an event because you
Speaker 1: gotta think after the Super Bowl, there's no more football
Speaker 1: until August, God forbid you can't. I'm depressed. Can you
Speaker 1: give us names of players who have said yesterday? I can't.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately I can't. Um, but just be on the lookout
Speaker 1: for an exhibition pay per view event coming soon. It's
Speaker 1: really smart. I mean, part of one of the conversations
Speaker 1: we've been having a lot is just athletes owning their data,

Speaker 1: infrastructure that takes advantage of it. Absolutely. I mean that's
Speaker 1: why you know you're seeing it in the boxing realm
Speaker 1: and you're seeing just the whole pay per view event

Speaker 1: It's it's gonna go either way by a field goal
Speaker 1: to close. Yeah, I'm thinking yeah, I think he said Bengals.
Speaker 1: Did you say Bengals. He's let's go with the Bengals.
Speaker 1: Let's go with the Bengals. You know, I like underdogs.
Speaker 1: Let us know when you get that exhibition game together.
