Re: The Big Game
last time this came up i made a comment that the video rights may be worth almost as much as beal could lose. i was shot down.
however, whether he sells it to a network that can make 15 shows out of it, or produces it to DVD or perhaps both, the footage is worth a fortune.
it does not surprise me that this is all of a sudden an issue. i know doyle says the start date is the issue, but nobody wants to admit the value of the footage. if this were filmed by professionals from day one, they could get $40mil back. hell, they could do a 2 hour show on the genesis of the bet alone. then an hour show following each and every player. they could have 12 hours of video production in the can before th first card is dealt.
for all these reasons, i still have confidence this will happen. just lots of posturing left imo.
