那個(gè)一直在推特(Twitter)上煽風(fēng)點(diǎn)火的人又來(lái)了。今年8月16日,埃隆·馬斯克開(kāi)玩笑說(shuō),他將收購(gòu)?fù)陼r(shí)期最喜歡的球隊(duì),并在推特上寫(xiě)道:“此外,我要收購(gòu)曼聯(lián),不用謝。”
綽號(hào)為紅魔(Red Devils)的曼聯(lián)(Manchester United)意外慘敗布倫特福德,在英超聯(lián)賽(Premier League)墊底后,這家著名俱樂(lè)部的許多球迷都希望看到新東家的出現(xiàn),但這似乎是不可能的。馬斯克很快回應(yīng)了外界對(duì)他是否是認(rèn)真的質(zhì)疑,他在推特上寫(xiě)道:“不,這是推特上流傳已久的一個(gè)笑話(huà)。我不會(huì)收購(gòu)任何一支運(yùn)動(dòng)隊(duì)。”
不僅僅是社交媒體用戶(hù)注意到了馬斯克的推文。據(jù)《華爾街日?qǐng)?bào)》(Wall Street Journal)報(bào)道,上市公司曼聯(lián)在推文發(fā)布后的第二天早上,股價(jià)(股票代碼:MANU)一度飆升超過(guò)2%。然而,當(dāng)人們明白這條新聞只是這位世界首富的又一個(gè)玩笑后,小幅反彈跡象就消退了。
馬斯克可能不會(huì)在短期內(nèi)購(gòu)買(mǎi)體育特許經(jīng)營(yíng)權(quán),但體育特許經(jīng)營(yíng)權(quán)正在日益成為名人們的熱門(mén)投資。最近,據(jù)報(bào)道,英國(guó)世界一級(jí)方程式錦標(biāo)賽(F1)的賽車(chē)手劉易斯·漢密爾頓參與收購(gòu)丹佛野馬隊(duì)(Denver Broncos),沃爾瑪(Walmart)的繼承人羅布·沃爾頓領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的集團(tuán)正在收購(gòu)丹佛野馬隊(duì)。
體育特許經(jīng)營(yíng)權(quán)也不便宜。根據(jù)《福布斯》(Forbes)在2021年發(fā)布的最具價(jià)值球隊(duì)排行榜,全球最富有的50支球隊(duì)的平均估值躍升了9.9%,達(dá)到34億美元,其中最具價(jià)值的10支球隊(duì)的估值均超過(guò)了42億美元。
曼聯(lián)在這份名單上排名多少?這一格雷澤家族的珍貴財(cái)產(chǎn)排在前10名之外,以42億美元的估值排名第11位。
曼聯(lián)是上榜的9家足球俱樂(lè)部之一,其中包括英超球隊(duì)利物浦(第12位,41億美元)、曼城(第13位,40億美元)、切爾西(并列第25位,32億美元)和阿森納(第38位,28億美元)。前50位還包括26支橄欖球隊(duì)、9支籃球隊(duì)和6支棒球隊(duì)。
從理論上講,馬斯克不僅能夠收購(gòu)曼聯(lián),還可以收購(gòu)《福布斯》50強(qiáng)榜單上的所有球隊(duì)。據(jù)《福布斯》報(bào)道,他的凈資產(chǎn)為2720億美元,是紅魔的60多倍,是達(dá)拉斯牛仔隊(duì)的近50倍。
但馬斯克不愿意收購(gòu),并不意味著未來(lái)沒(méi)有人愿意接過(guò)這個(gè)重任。據(jù)彭博社(Bloomberg)報(bào)道,格雷澤家族愿意出售俱樂(lè)部的少數(shù)股權(quán);然而,目前還沒(méi)有跡象表明他們“準(zhǔn)備放棄對(duì)曼聯(lián)的控制權(quán)”。(財(cái)富中文網(wǎng))

The man who keeps riling up the Twitterverse is at it again. On August 16, Elon Musk teased he would purchase his favorite childhood sports team, tweeting “Also, I’m buying Manchester United ur welcome.”
While many fans of the famous club would love to see new ownership after the Red Devils slid to the bottom of the Premier League table with a surprising loss to Brentford, it looks like it’s not in the cards. Musk soon replied to clamors of whether or not he was serious, tweeting: “No, this is a long-running joke on Twitter. I’m not buying any sports teams.”
It was not just social media users who took notice of Musk’s tweets. Manchester United, a publicly traded company, saw its stock (MANU) briefly shoot up more than 2% the morning after the tweets, the Wall Street Journal reported. However, the small rally faded after it became clear the news was just another joke by the world’s richest man.
Musk may not buy a sports franchise anytime soon, but they are increasingly becoming popular investments among celebrities. Recently, Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton reportedly purchased an ownership stake in the Denver Broncos, who underwent a sale to a group led by Rob Walton, the heir to Walmart’s fortunes.
And sports franchises are not cheap either. According to Forbes’s most recent rankings of the most valuable teams, published in 2021, the average valuation of the world’s 50 richest teams jumped 9.9% to $3.4 billion, with the top 10 most valuable sports teams each having valuations of over $4.2 billion.
Where does Manchester United rank on that list? The Glazer family’s prized possession comes in just outside the top 10, ranking 11th at a $4.2 billion valuation.
United is one of nine soccer clubs to be featured on the list, which includes fellow Premier League teams Liverpool (12th at $4.1 billion), Manchester City (13th at $4 billion), Chelsea (tied for 25th at $3.2 billion) and Arsenal (38th at $2.8 billion). Twenty-six football teams, nine basketball teams, and six baseball teams comprised the rest of the top 50.
Theoretically, Musk could buy not just Man U but all of the teams on Forbes’ top 50 list. With a net worth of $272 billion according to Forbes, he is worth more than 60 times as much as the Red Devils and almost 50 times as much as the Dallas Cowboys.
But just because Musk is not willing to buy does not mean someone isn’t willing to take up the mantle in the future. According to reports by Bloomberg, the Glazers are willing to sell a minority stake in the club; however, there has been no indication that they are “ready to cede control of Manchester United.”
