Reply to comment by Gman1111110 in ELI5: What are the pros and cons of the American sports franchise-based model? by [deleted]
But most American sports also come with good aspects like salary caps. An owner worth 20 billion won’t have a significant advantage over a team with an owner worth 3 billion. This system rewards good management and talent development since all teams are competing with similar financial limitations.
In European soccer the rich teams stay at the top because they can continually offer the largest contracts to the best players. If small clubs want to win and consistently compete at the top level, they can only hope to be bought by a rich sugar daddy. The pure capitalism of European soccer also kills competition. The financial gap between the top and bottom of the table is too massive to be fair by any stretch

Doesn’t take away what he did to be a boxer. You don’t have to agree with people’s opinions to respect what they’ve done in other fields
