Professional Sports on the Moon – Next Decade's Multi-Billion Dollar Opportunity
- floxy 2y agoThe brainchild of HN's dr_dshiv.
- dave4420 2y agoCompared to established leagues and competitions: - this will attract less TV revenue - this will attract zero match day revenue (ticket sales, concessions, etc) - this will have much higher logistics costs - there will be less money to pay/attract athletes - the athletes will have nothing to do outside of performing and training (no nightclubs for the kids, no bringing family along for the grown ups) - the commute time between Earth and Moon means the athletes will have to live out there during the season - there will be no crowd noise on the broadcasts unless it is faked (as happened during covid) - the lower gravity will weird some potential viewers out (how many? don't know… but it will surely suppress viewership to some extent) I am not saying this will never happen, but next decade feels wildly overoptimistic. Is this a late April Fools?
