Coming to you from paradise, on the 180th meridian in the middle of the Pacific Ocean!

In football: Germany’s top soccer leagues are slowly but surely recovering from the effects of COVID19. The governing body of the Bundesliga, reported revenues of US$4.9Billion for the 2021-22 season, up 11% from the previous season.
While it’s the first revenue increase since the start of COVID, it still lags behind pre-pandemic numbers of US$5.2B revenue in the 2018-19 season.
In SportsBiz: Mukesh Ambani, owner of the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League, is the world’s richest team owner, according to Forbes.
Ambani, whose net worth is US$83.4Billion is Chairman of Reliance Industries, a conglomerate with interests in everything in India and around the world especially in energy, retail, telecommunications and more.
A dip in Microsoft’s stock knocked Steve Ballmer down into second spot with a net worth of US$80.7B. Ballmer can often be spotted courtside at home games of his Los Angeles Clippers.
Of the top 20 richest owners, eight own football teams.
In Boxing: Talk about no mercy – Israel Adesanya has been slammed for taunting Alex Pereira’s son after his knockout win at UFC287 in Miami last Sunday.
After the Kiwi-Nigerian reclaimed his UFC Middleweight title with a vicious second-round KO of the Brazilian, he mimed pulling three arrows out and firing them at Pereira – which is part of the former champion’s famous entrance.
Adesanya then went searching for Pereira’s son in the crowd – who was crying following his dad’s KO loss, but Adesanya refused to show any mercy.
He made a point of staring straight at Pereira’s son, before theatrically dropping to the floor.
Adesanya later revealed he had done so because the boy had done a similar thing to him after their last fight which his Father Alex Pereira won by KO.
Just beautiful, the sweet science of UFC.
