Hip Hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs and Golden State Warriors All-Star Stephen Curry likely won’t be future owners of the Carolina Panthers. The two were minority partners with billionaire Michael Rubin but now, the bid for the team has reportedly hit a record $2.5 billion.
According to ESPN, Rubin, the owner of Fanatics — a leading online sports merchandise seller — has dropped out of the running amid the rumored bid, which would make the Panthers the highest-selling sports franchise in history. The Houston Rockets sold for $2.2 billion back in 2017.
But there’s still hope. ESPN reports Rubin is still interested — as long as the price is right. The process is confidential, so sources can’t completely confirm the accuracy of the historic bid.
When it was first announced Panthers’ owner Jerry Richardson was putting the team up for sale, Diddy excitedly threw his hat in the ring via Instagram.
“I will be the best NFL owner that you can imagine,” he said. “I will immediately address the Colin Kaepernick situation and put in the running for next year’s starting line-up.” [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Curry, who grew up in North Carolina, soon joined Diddy, tweeting “I want in.”
It might be a good idea for Puff and Curry to hit Jay-Z and bring him into the deal.
They have no where enough money. Was just a way for Diddy to stay relevant
The only way to build black excellence is to do it together. Steph and Diddy may not have the money but if they created a consortium of black owners, bring in Jay and B, Oprah, Will Smith and Lebron they will already have the money it takes or have the pull to get funded. This can be the first step and can be replicated by other rich blacks in all areas so that black ownership can rise
Stop being so racist. In case you too blind or ignorant to understand that you are racist, just imagine all the time you talk stuff like this “Would it be racist if I change the Word Black to White?” If the answer is Yes, then the sh*t you saying is RACIST!!!
**gulps down a 32 oz. bottle of white tears**
And i bet it was racisms fault! Damn it anyway!
So they doing this cause they don’t want no black owners in the league c’mon Panthers ain’t did shit special for this to be the highest team in any sport no championship rings nothing and they want 2.5 billions
If you can get the most money for something you own why not cant blame racism on this
Ywne
I say their best bet would be like Magic and have a team of partners that’ll back you.
