Back in April, Oliver Weisberg, head of Blue Pool Capital, Joe and Clara Wu Tsai’s family investment vehicle told an investment symposium in Hong Kong that the Tsais were interested in making other investments in pro sports, considering them an “actual asset class,” — like stocks, bonds or real estate — and one with a lot of potential.
“We believe that the rising interest in live sports, and the increasing growth in media rights, that’s something we’re super excited about,” said Weisberg, who’s also an alternate governor of the Brooklyn Nets.
Weisberg specifically noted how a number of sports were attractive, including women’s sports, the NBA, NHL and NFL.
