I rest my case You don’t make a couple billion dollars without being okay with folks being mad at you. Its difficult to grasp, but the Pegulas were viewed as saviors when they bought the Bills and luckily for them, the Bills have experienced their most success in 30 years. The Sabres have been a total disaster. PSE has been a total disaster. They bet on a Buffalo revitalization, and lost. I doubt Pegula is sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerDave Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 29 minutes ago, BADOLBILZ said: Because it's a great investment and gets your foot in the door to gain controlling interest of a team in the future? Yes, indeed. Getting 25% of the annual profits, plus 25% of the sale of the team in the future is a great investment. I'd do it, but my wife has other ideas for our retirement funds.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you get invited into a really exclusive group and it puts you at the front of a very short line to get the chance to be a majority owner in the future.

It could be more to do about Kim & their family than it is actually the Bills or Sabres .

BigDingus Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 So do I get to choose what 25% I own? I'll take 25% of the suites & club seats, the QB position, the DBs coach, the 17 yard line to the 42 yard line (south endzone), at least 2 concession booths, 25% of each pee trough, the entire parking lot, and I get full control of all round 3 & 4 draft picks for life.

JimBob2232 Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 So in short - Pegula bought the bills for 1.4B. They are now worth 3.7B (per Forbes). He sells 25% for $1B. So basically he will own 75% of the bills for $400M. Not shabby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
