    Maybe and maybe not. I don't think that it's incumbent on PBC to pay any monies back because of the lawsuit. They are still bound by the original set of contracts. Plus I think that they are dug in pretty good with their programming because they are putting on great fights and the viewership is expanding to real decent and profitable numbers. They are on their way and if the funds dry up from Waddle and Reed, there will plenty other investors more than happy to jump on the band wagon because it's a winning hand.

    The guy who approved a $1bn spend on PBC, 6 months later, resigned and took a job with one of Haymon's companies. Sounds legit.

    From what little I've read, I don't see this lawsuit going anywhere. These ****heads who hand their cheese over to investment firms always expect it to be free money, and throw their toys out the pram when it doesn't go their way. Well, guess what? It's gambling, plain and simple.
    It seems likely to me that there were some nefarious goings on, but that's not what the complaint is.
    Some investments go wrong, and these companies are well protected against accusations of 'neglect'. It's very hard to prove the guy wasn't doing what he thought best with the client's money.

    He left the fund to go work for Al's company right, that's an easy thing to point to as far as conflict of interest

    Ummm, the firm that bankrolls PBC is being sued, not PBC.

    Waddell and Reed has over 100 billion in assets under management....so I'm failing to see how this legal case in anyway would affect PBC

    Yeah. That was the 'nefarious dealings' I was referring to, but I missed that it was actually in the complaint filed. Smoking gun, right there.

    Another thing people seem to overlook is that the PBC investment is small potatoes to a firm like Waddell and Reed.

    I wouldn't be shocked if some 20 something year old, a couple of years out of grad school is the point man for Waddell and Reed on this investment!

    Winning hand? A winning hand wins money, not loses money.

    PBC hasn't expanded. They've shrunk and their ratings are getting lower with each outing. Their fighters fight once, maybe twice a year if they're lucky. Investors are not stupid. They invested to get a 5x return, not a complete loss.

    You do know PBC's funding is limited, right? Did you really think W/R would stake their entire company on PBC? :rofl

    You sound like MVC! when he said ****** Buffet would help PBC beat the Russians during the purse bidding. Man, you guys are fools.

    No, PBC doesn't have access to that entire 100 billion.

    So you only read a little and know more than the actual people conducting the lawsuit? :lol:

    Man, this forum is hilarious.

    You know, when one frames their opinion with a caveat like I did, an admission, if you will, of not being in possession of all the facts, it usually prevents idiotic comments like yours.

    No, you could've just ended with the first post. The rest of the post was just a bunch of idiotic rambling, nonsense.
