    Pegula has forced the other bidders away

    They know he has much more liquid cash available in the bank than the other bidders, the $1.75 Billion sale was a message to the others. He's not moving the team, he's already a NHL in Buffalo & he has made significant investments downtown and in the community. There hasn't been a dime invested locally by anyone but Tom G (who's very generous) but he's not worth that much and isn't anywhere that liquid.

    No way that someone plunks ~$1 Billion down & waits to see if they can move the team 7 years down the line. Add in the potential political pressures which would be immense and factor in a local judge wanting to stay in office as a factor for future legal moves, it'll make thing extremely difficult to move even then. Ralph poisoned pill this to all high heck, RIP.

    No one knows man.

    I tend to agree with you though.

      OR there are not many potential buyers who believe the Bills in Buffalo are worth investing in.

        As I remember hearing before, "just give it to them" ...........the Pegulas that is.

          It only takes one person that does believe the Bills in Buffalo are worth investing in & we have that.

            Well we know that there's several soft bids out there already, so your statement is DOA.

                I have to admit, that was a funny retort.

                  I think you're to hung up on investment. If I'm a billionaire I can find a better ROI for my money than an NFL team in ANY city. These rich guys don't buy teams as investments . I'ts about buying something they want. A new toy. Maybe about ego. That they can make some money is just a plus.

                    The group’s maximum bid — which sources say is somewhere between $1 billion and $1.2 billion — isn’t nearly enough to compete with Mr. Money Bags, Pegula, the cash-flush multi-billionaire who owns the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres. And Bon Jovi, Tanenbaum and Rogers know it.


                    I do the stuff for a living, so I knew how this would pan out. A easy rule to live by, you don't try to drive over Godzilla.

                      I heard final bids are expected in two weeks.

                      I won't be much longer & we will have the answer about the new owner.

                        looks like terry is a safe bet to be the new man but we should have a plan b just in case

                        how much do you think it would cost to secretly launch bon jovi into space?

                          I think it would be cheaper to send him to the bottom of the Ocean.

                            One-way Kayak trips into the ocean is a NJ tradition, you can't break with tradition.
