This deal size seems too low for BB/EB I suspect a niche media-focused boutique.
Whats the fee even like for a $15mm engagement?
No clue...5%-10%?

Makes sense, any sports related deal pretty much does to Don Cornell (ex MS M&A, now with PJT). A fairly niche (but growing) M&A market.

Just FYI for when you're recruiting next year ;-)
Would would HL and PJT agree to do a $15M deal? I would think this is a total waste for both of them
Do you smell what the deal flow is cookin?
This wasn’t some no name mom and pop shop looking to auction itself for retirement - it was a celebrity worth 300 million+ dollars and his ex wife who is an extremely successful businesswoman who is becoming a pro sports league owner now, good marketing, PR, and relationship building
I also doubt the work around this was super time consuming vs the future potential benefits
Wonder how big the fee was
