Ex-Marlins president David Samson responded to boos at a party by bragging about the team's $1.2 billion sale to the Bruce Sherman group in 2017. Samson got on stage at ESPN personality Dan Le Batard's birthday party to boos then proceeded to brag about the sale and flipped off fans.
"Thank you so much; thank you very much," Samson said. "Here's why I love when you guys boo me. Right. I want you to keep booing me. Because guess what? One-point-two billion. F--- you!"
