#MillionsAndMillions On Deck. The Rock buys the XFL hours before bankruptcy auction

[Cynic]

To be fair, I don't know why anyone would buy the XFL. It has a stigma of failure associated with it. If he is going to restart the league, are the TV contracts & other stuff are already in place to make that easier? Either way, it will need to be rebranded

This is the guy who restarted the Fast Five franchise.

Some of yall gotta stop making stuff up for the sake of stupidity ... it is a deal that doesnt make sense and has been a failure every time.

Like i said it is under the table deal to sell it back to vince a year so from now that is the only way this deal makes sense....

I wish y'all would stop acting like the XFL 2.0 was a flop, it was doing well but had to stop because of the Pandemic.

The XFL was already set to make a game with 2k before Corona killed the league

There’s a difference between “making a game” and “buying a game.”

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's XFL Strikes Deal With the NFL (yahoo.com)

The former WWE star turned Hollywood megastar and entrepreneur signed a deal for his XFL football league–which he salvaged by buying it out of bankruptcy in 2020–to become a live research and development lab for the NFL. The deal will allow the NFL to test new initiatives ranging from on-field technology to proposed rule changes and even trial runs for new officials, before it has to implement them in NFL games on Sunday afternoons.

In exchange, the XFL, which failed at becoming a competitor for the country’s biggest pro football league in two previous iterations, gets the NFL’s blessing and tacit support. Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed, so there’s no indication of how whether the NFL is pouring enough cash into the XFL to help it stay afloat after its scheduled relaunch next year. The XFL was originally slated to relaunch this spring, but that timeline was pushed back by the pandemic.

But with the R&D deal, the NFL has a built-in interest in seeing the XFL succeed as a test-kitchen of sorts for the evolution of football, as opposed to viewing it as a competitor to squashed out of existence.
