Mark Lesri, co-owner of former Milwuki box, still wants to buy a national women’s football league team.
Lesri, who failed last year for Angel City FC and North Carolina courage, confirmed her constant interest in an interview with front office sports.
The 65 -year -old billionaire firm, Avenue Capital Group, lost to Disney CEO Bob Igar and his wife Willow Bay in his attempt to buy Angel City.
“I don’t know why Bob Igar finally joined, but he did,” Lesri said. “He is a great man. I think he and his wife Willow, I think it was a great investment for him. And he is a great person, so I think it will be super positive.”
Lasry and Avenue Capital attempted to get a majority stake in the next courage, but the deal in December, allegedly due to league sanctions about private-equity ownership.
“I think one of the issues was the fact that the League eventually decided that he wanted individual owners as opposition to wealth,” Lesri explained the front office sports about the unsuccessful courage deal. “I find that. And we are still trying to find out what we can do.”
Lesri sold his 25 percent stake in NBA box in 2023 in an evaluation of $ 3.5 billion.
