Trump Media & Technology Group CEO Kevin McGurn said the following in a recent earnings call:
We continue to look for opportunities to grow and market our business, not dissimilar to our participation in and support for the UFC event on the South Lawn of the White House.The Eternal City Tip-Off was a basketball game between Notre Dame and Villanova in Rome, with a high concentration of the Catholic community and a faith-based community, marrying sports and the international expansion of that sport for all of those audiences.So whenever we see the opportunity to partner with great folks like Fox and [EverWonder] Studios and run a national television spot, to grow and market and make folks aware of the content on our platform, we're going to take it. We're going to continue to do that through the course of the fourth quarter and on into 2027.We're really excited about our opportunity and about the things we're doing on the service, and we want to go out there and tell people about it. The Eternal City Tip-Off was one of the best weeks we could do that.
I don't know if the real Pope could smell the PEU stench courtesy of Redbird Capital Partners, current owner of Players Era and former owner of On Location.
Both companies collaborated with FOX Sports to bring the world the Eternal City Tip-Off. Notre Dame beat Villanova 74-72 with a late comeback.
One of "the things" TMTG & McGurn are doing (besides selling early access to Presidential communications) involves merging with TAE Technologies, a nuclear fusion power company.
Trump II's media company wants to power the AI (Super-Intelligence) revolution.
The deal was projected to close mid 2026 but that time has passed. The final whistle on a shareholder vote blows on December 14th.
The Players Era Basketball Festival will go off as scheduled this week with its big prize money ($1 million per team).
TAE, TMTG, and the Power Players.....eternal greed comes to mind.
