JAKARTA - Boxing legend Floyd Mayweather made a lucrative offer in an attempt to buy ownership of the majority of the NBA's expansion franchise. He did so with business partner Brent Johnson.
"We are working to buy an NBA team directly," Mayweather said.
One of my other business partners, Brent Johnson, he's here, so we've been working in the NBA team for a long time. You know, it's a bit difficult.
It could be a Vegas franchise, it could be a Seattle franchise, or I could buy a franchise that is already standing and running.
"First offer, we offered them a little over $2 billion for majority ownership. Do I have it? Of course I do."
ESPN journalist Adrian Wojnarowski reported in October that two main candidates for expansion, Vegas and Seattle, are expected not to enter the NBA soon.
Wojnarowski menjelaskan bahwa NBA sedang mencari cara untuk menegotiasikan kesepakatan hak siar TV mereka sebelum memasukkan tim baru ke dalam liga.
"NBA plans to negotiate a new television/media deal and Joint Negotiations before seriously checking the addition of a new team," Wojnarowski wrote on Twitter.
"The possibility of Las Vegas and Seattle as expansion candidates is real, but maybe years away."
Therefore, Mayweather may have to wait a while for his chance to enter the NBA as the owner.
The Phoenix Suns is currently the only NBA franchise to be sold, as announced by owner Robert Sarver in September after an NBA investigation found that he used racist and sexist language.
