@TalkinBaseball_ @JomboyMedia That will cost him about $100 million.

Tarik Skubal is being placed on the IL due to loose bodies in his elbow and is going to need surgery

@gaymenrider No. It’s how AEW can avoid getting cancelled by David Ellison.

@FrontRowBrian You’re smoking crack

Tony should make a deal. $PSKY / $WBD aren't going to compete with their partners $TKO. There's always a deal to be made. IDEA - AEW sells $TKO a 15-20% of the company in the form of *preferred* convertible shares with a vesting schedule over 5-7 years. These shares are preferred because AEW likely has little or zero cash flow. If TKO held common AEW shares, every subsequent Khan family contribution dilutes them. What does AEW get? 1. TKO common stock. 2. Talent sharing & facility access agreement. 3. Media rights packaging commitment — TKO agrees to include AEW in next rights cycle negotiation, with floor commitments This strategic minority investment solves the immediate Ellison problem ( $TKO is now economically aligned with AEW staying on $WBD or finding a Paramount home), preserves Khan's operational control short-term, gives TKO a path to full control if Khan eventually wants out, and is small enough not to trigger an HSR-level antitrust review.

I know several elite wrestlers who were flat out told by their parents or significant other no MMA. Guys that would’ve killed in mma. So they accept a 62k a year assistant wrestling gig. I think fighting for a living only appeals to a very small part of athletes independent of money. You need a screw loose in a good way. So few have that. Remember Mark Ellis? He didn’t have the required screw loose whether it paid $50k or $5 million. I just don’t subscribe to the theory that if there was more money the fighters would be better. This is work for a tiny portion of an already tiny portion of athletes. 99.9% don’t have the mental ability to do it at a high level.

@FrontRowBrian Strong disagree. You’re a very smart guy and probably in late 30’s (I’m guessing) so you think this way. Kids in their 20’s, especially high level athletes, see money not repercussions. Not even a little bit. If the money was there they wouldn’t think twice about their brains

No... I'm saying that elite American athletes will not choose combat sports because of the obvious long term health effects. Even if the money was NFL like. We got guys in their 30s who are GONE. I know some of them. They're not the same guys I knew 15 years ago.

Something just doesn’t feel right about her glow up. Just doesn’t feel right.

@TheMetsX What do you think about the Mets trading for Trout?

Going to burn the poor guy out by June 2 years in a row

@01Starblazer Lindor for trout.

Keep Bichette at SS for the rest of the year. When Lindor returns, put him at DH. If Mets are out of playoff contention, look to move Lindor and that contract. The Dodgers would be a fit.

@_LAKNIGHTGUyih Probably but it should have never happened. She beat Kayla Harrison and is fighting a nanny.

@FrontRowBrian She is definitely ufc after that

And get a testosterone test on Pacheco. This is gross on many levels. Not the finest people running KC. Low IQ and corrupt. Very dangerous combination.

@compound248 @andrewrsorkin His synthetic longs will print. He will sell for a nice profit and we won’t ever hear about this again.

The $GME proposed acquisition of $EBAY is even dumber than it sounds, which is why he refused to answer @andrewrsorkin's basic questions this am. To start, the ACTUAL proposal is not GME acquiring EBAY: GME is the seller, not the buyer. Ryan Cohen is asking eBay to acquire GME, fire eBay's CEO, and let Ryan run the business. Onto the dumbness of the proposal details: The idea is 50% cash / 50% stock for roughly $56 billion of consideration to eBay. Pundits note GME's ~$11.1B market cap and ~$9B of existing cash. BUT THAT DOUBLE-COUNTS. Of GME's ~$11.1B market cap, ~$9B IS THE CASH. Or 81% of the market cap. If I have a company worth $110 with $90 of net cash, it's not worth $180: the cash is worth $90, and the company ex-cash is worth $20 = $110. As shown below, if GME pays eBay the ~$9B in existing cash, the remaining market cap (from eBay's perspective) is ~$2.1B. GME shares are worth ~$5/share ex cash. To issue $28 billion of GME shares, it has to issue ~5.6B of new shares to eBay (vs 590B FD GME shares today), giving eBay 90%+ of the post-deal shares (+ $28 billion of cash to eBay owners). To be clear, GME is proposing that eBay acquire GME, with GME owning 10% of the CombinedCo. In 2026, eBay is expected to generate $2.8B of free cash flow vs $500 mm by GameStop (15% of combinedco). eBay revenue is expected to GROW 9% in 2026 while GME's is expected to shrink 1% (and has shrunk >40% in 5 years). So eBay brings 85% of the cash flow and is growing, and gets 90% of a newco that is dragged down by GameStop's declining revenue. To compensate for owning a lower quality CombinedCo, it levers up and pays legacy eBay $62/share in cash. However, that cash is financed by the quality of eBay's business, not GameStop. eBay doesn't need GameStop to recap its existing business - it could do so and continue to own 100% of the better business. Ultimately, this is GME attempting to swap into a better business by selling itself to eBay, not vice versa. Everyone knows this deal won't happen, Ryan Cohen included.

@TheMetsX Gave him away for an 18 year old. Lololol

Salary dumped him so Semien could play every single day 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@Variety That’s “offensive”?

#KidCudi has announced that he fired M.I.A. as one of the openers on his Rebel Ragers Tour after she was booed during a rant which included lines like, “I’ve been canceled for many reasons. I never thought I would be canceled for being a brown Republican voter.” Cudi announced her departure from the tour on May 4 via Instagram, where he wrote, “TOUR UPDATE: M.I.A is no longer on this tour. I told my management to send a notice to her team before we started tour that I didn’t want anything offensive at my shows, cuz I already knew what time it was, and I was assured things were understood. After the last couple shows, I’ve been flooded with messages from fans that were upset by her rants. This, to me, is very disappointing and I wont have someone on my tour making offensive remarks that upsets my fanbase. Thank you for understanding. Rager.” variety.com/2026/music/new…

.@Turki_alalshikh wants to make Oleksandr Usyk vs. David Benavidez for the heavyweight championship in 2027, @ringmagazine has learned. Benavidez moved up to cruiserweight Saturday and won two titles with a KO victory of Zurdo Ramirez. Usyk returns May 23 to defend his Ring Magazine heavyweight championship vs. Rico Verhoeven at the Pyramids of Giza.

@MacandChiefs No. I’m saying even if fighting paid like the big4, people wouldn’t do it. 99.9% of people aren’t wired for combat. Nothing to do with $$

@FrontRowBrian you’re proving his point. if mma payed nfl/nba/mlb salaries then the top athletes in the world would be fighting. (I don’t think mma fighters should get paid nfl salaries)

Disagree. Fighting is too hard of a way to make a living. American football is the limit. We live in very prosperous times. Even the poor are living well. The top athletes aren't signing up to get beat up for a living. Football is peoples' limit.

@glupshiddomca To keep Para WBD as a possibility. Not many buyers of content out there.

@FrontRowBrian Why would a billionaire need to sell lmfao

Hard to explain to people how big of a fight this was at the time. It was Mayweather Pacquaio, Tyson Holyfield, Conor Khabib.. all in one.

@GoatBeardzDD @ryancohen and he's using all call options?

$GME isn’t buying eBay. @ryancohen is doing what he always does. The media is framing GameStop’s eBay bid as an acquisition. It’s not. Ryan Cohen is running a textbook activist investor playbook and the same one he used on GameStop itself. Let me break it down. 🧵

@choderogan_ standard of living is highest its ever been in human history.. at least in the developed world

@FrontRowBrian “We live in prosperous times” Meanwhile people are financing groceries

It's straight forward. - $56 billion needed to get the deal done. - $28 billion in $GME stock - $20 billion debt finacing from TD Bank - $8 billion of cash from GME's balance sheet - 28 + 20 + 8 = 56. $ebay $gme
