Looks like the Red Sox have become the step children to Fenway Sports Group

Let's look at some facts...

With the recent blockbuster deal made between the Red Sox and the Dodgers, the Red Sox eliminated about $60 million in guaranteed money from their 2013 payroll.

A few months ago Liverpool FC announces a loss of $80 million for the last fiscal year.

Liverpool's biggest matches draw out around 500 million viewers while the 2011 World Series had only 16 million viewers.

Premier League doesn't have salary caps, organized drafts, and revenue sharing like America's sports leagues.

As said by Werner, "In baseball, when you acquire a franchise, you are one-thirtieth of an industry. If we sell a Liverpool jersey to a supporter in Jakarta, we will keep 100 percent of that." 

The Liverpool deal opened markets for Fenway's corporate partners. Red Sox Nation can only expose a sponsor to six states while Liverpool can act as a "global amplifier".

Fenway Sports Group is doing what it takes to pay for Liverpool. FSG is a sports investment company and their recent trades with the Red Sox serve as a financial tool to fuel their moneymaker Liverpool.

Tattoo artist Ryan Fitzgerald from Dayton, OH was hit with a $100,000 lawsuit last week by his ex-girlfriend Rossie Brovent.  She claims that her boyfriend was supposed to tattoo a scene from Narnia on her back but instead tattooed an image of a pile of excrement with flies buzzing around it. Apparently, Ryan found out that Rossie had cheated with a long-time friend of his, but instead of confronting her about it he acted like everything was normal and hatched a plan for revenge. Originally, Rossie tried to have Ryan charged with assault, but the ingenious tattoo artist had covered his bases by plying Rossie with wine and tequila shots and getting her to sign a consent form that stated the design was “at the artist’s discretion.” No word from Rossie on whether the illicit night of passion with Ryan’s friend was worth it. Moral of the story? Never cheat on a tattoo artist. share on Facebook
