$700m Shohei Ohtani Contract Break Down?
Anyone want to break down this contract? There are a lot of moving parts here, so I'm not sure what the PV of the deal is. I've seen that the contract without deferrals would be somewhere around $480m. Accurate? That's honestly not that crazy. Juan Soto is likely to get that next year. Plus, I know...

How common or possible is it for people to work in IB, PE, or other high finance roles and exit to front-office management roles in professional sports? (ex. VP, GM, etc.) If possible/common, what roles in pro sports do people exit to?
Is golf the sport of business in Europe?
We all know that in the US business world it is very important to know how to play golf, as all executives play it and it can be useful to close deals. But do you think that it is the same in Europe? I feel like it is way less popular and considered for old people, with tennis more played and maybe...
World U20 100m record holder provisionally suspended for doping

SPORTS IB
What type of investment banking would cover sports related companies-- does anyone have any insight into which firms get the most sports-related deal flow? My dream job is to work in sports in some way (PE, etc.) and I am interested in doing the banking stint first.
Who's the most amazing athlete you've ever seen in person?
We're talking like Kofax level great. They used to let you get right over the visitors bullpen in Camden Yards and also just behind the bullpen catcher. Troy Percival threw HARD but Mo didn't throw a cutter in the conventional Andy Pettitte sense... He threw a 95mph slider for strikes. You could see...
Workout during busy weeks?
Hi WSO, was just wondering how it works out for you and at your firm? Do you find the time to work out, go for a run or simply be active during those busy 90+ hour weeks? For me personally it works much better. After an hour of being active I feel fresh and I am concentrated. Was talking to some...
Lifting and IBD
As many of you know, IBD and other institutional finance roles require us to sacrifice a HUGE chunk of our time for the dinero. Personally, fitness has always been a large part of my identity.

Sports with clout on the street

Suns/Clippers Game 2
What are everyone's thoughts on the game last night? Do we need to ban video review in the last 2 minutes? My thoughts below: 1. Officiating was terrible - I'm biased as a Suns fan, but 2 of the fouls on Booker were outrageous, and the out of bounds review when Patrick Beverly slapped the ball away...

Are we seeing the end of this year's College Football Season?
Over the last few months, it's become pretty clear to me that fall college sports would be canceled. I had a feeling back in June that this would be the case and have been following this religiously. Up until yesterday, I still had some extremely cautious optimism that the NCAA would at least try to...
PSA: Sneakers for runners/athletes with wide feet
If you have wide-ass feet/flat feet, do yourself a favor and get Altras (also on amazon). Been an athlete my whole life and have needed to get new sneakers 3x/year+ because I always pop the outside seam. Altras are amazing. Had mine for 10 months now, wear them 6 days/week, maybe 3-4 4-mile...

Muhammad Ali - R.I.P
The greatest athlete of the 20th century has passed away. Braggadocios, controversial, and beloved - Ali is gone after a 30 year battle with Parkinson's disease.

How Finance is like Professional Sports
If you look at elite athletes of virtually any sport, they almost always share one thing in common: they started playing the sport at a fairly young age. Sure, there are exceptions, but very rarely do you see a world-class athlete who picked up the sport after high school. Now, what does this have...

ESPN and the Business of Sports
Sports is a fascinating business to me. It is truly amazing how quickly sports have grown into billion dollar franchises with top end players making up to $30 million a year. Baffling. On top of it, the numbers for broadcasting rights keep climbing right along with them and frankly seem to be...
