This week on The SportBusiness Podcast, co-hosts Jonathan Rest and Martin Ross pick apart the week’s headlines and address some big-ticket issues affecting the sports industry:
THE NEWSROOM: An in-depth look at the imbalance between padel’s surging participation and commercial performance. Which revenue-generating sectors are serving up growth and why some baseline figures haven’t improved? Plus, key media rights developments for three European football leagues.
INSIDE THE DEAL: As the debate around LIV Golf and PIF rages on, we look at that investment but broaden the discussion out to the wider Saudi sports ecosystem, from the Saudi Pro League to SURJ. Matthew Glendinning joins to offer on-the-ground reflections after his trip to Riyadh.
AOB: A London Marathon participant to hog the limelight and a Killer setlist at the Enhanced Games.
