Once again you are the only person who thinks it's reasonable.
The numbers don't lie. Toronto is currently the highest valued team in the league.
You keep digging yourself one hole after another. You've been on this site for a month, and by the looks of it it seems you have very little ability to accept that you are wrong about anything so I'll be done responding here. I seriously hope you get the necessary help you need because it ain't a healthy way of life.
right you over here go on with Forbes, even though every rich person has called forbes out for being utter BS on their valuations.
Doesn't matter if it was Musk or Kanya. Forbes has been called bs for longer than you been alive but you keep buying it.
I point out to you real hard facts.
The rangers ownership owns MSG. what do you think is worth more, MSG or scotia? How massive do you think the valuation between those two is. Just look at the cost of property in TOR compared to TOR and figure that one out. MSG alone is worth Billions. I think Scotia arena was valued at 500 million like 2-3 years ago.
Their ticket prices are higher aka revenue. They sell more merchandise.
The rangers are consistently tops in the league in all those regards.
Like I said. It's like saying the raptors are worth more than the knicks. They aren't.
The NYC market is just so much more valuable and the land assets tied to the team are worth so much more.
That's in an aging MSG too. Wait till they build a new arena.... it isn't even close. Hell It's built on top of Penn Station. The value of the land alone is insane let alone the arena on top of it.
Financials might be hard for you to admit. But it's not hard to figure out why the rangers are worth so much and have the most valuable market.
It's not just a current year issue either. It's an every year thing. Even when they aren't winning they are still worth more than everyone else because it's NYC and there are like 8-9 million people there. When your city is 3x the size it's just a more valuable market.
People like you are the kind of people who believe what people tell you. These were the same people who said the Cleveland cavs were a top 5 valuation team when Lebron played for them. Like winning had anything to do with the value of the team in small market cleveland. It didn't. The Knicks will always be the most valuable franchise in the NBA just like the Yankees will always be the most valuable team in MLB. Doesn't matter if they are winning or losing. It's NYC, that's what it has to do with.
You just hell bent on believing what you want to believe instead of being realistic about it. Owning and playing in an arena in the heart of downtown Manhatten is worth far more than in TOR.
The TV and advertisement in a city of 8-9 million is more than in one of 2.7 million. It's not hard to figure out that bigger markets are more valuable. Especially when the average disposable income in that market is higher. NYC doesn't only have more millionaire and billionaires than anywhere in canada, but they have more people making 6 figure salaries than anywhere in the entire world.
If you don't think that matters you are kidding yourself. That's one of the reasons that the Rangers sell so much more Merchandise, people there got money to spend.
but go one, think TOR is the biggest market.
