Investment powerhouses Engelbert and El-Erian delve into the realm of Sportico's sports business.
The sports business world is set to be the focus of the latest episode of Sportico Sports Business Presented by Genius Sports. The show, which premieres monthly following live sports coverage on the YES Network, will feature a conversation between Commissioner of the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) Cathy Engelbert and economist Mohamed A. El-Erian.
In this episode, Cathy Engelbert will discuss the WNBA's hyper-growth phase, as well as the upcoming collective bargaining negotiations with the WNBA players. She will also highlight the significance of Caitlin Clark in bringing new fans to the league. Engelbert aims to return as much as possible to the WNBA players while maintaining a sustainable economic model, and she believes the league is now considered an asset class.
Mohamed A. El-Erian, President of Queens' College, Cambridge, and chief economic advisor at Allianz, will also be featured in the episode. El-Erian asserts that sports fans are inelastic, meaning they will watch sports regardless of their circumstances. He will discuss the resilience of the sports economy and the scarcity value of franchises, as well as the valuation correction of women's sports. El-Erian is a buyer in the sports industry due to the limited supply of franchises.
El-Erian will also touch on the topic of sports innovation, noting that it is a key factor in engaging audiences. He will discuss the valuation correction of women's sports, as women's sports teams were relatively undervalued in the past but are now experiencing a course correction in valuation.
The episode will be hosted by YES Network's Bob Lorenz and conducted by Sportico Editor-in-Chief Scott Soshnick. The show can be watched on the YES Network and The Gotham Sports App, and archived episodes are available on the Gotham Sports App.
