"Ultimately I hope the Premier League takes a little bit of a lesson from American sports," Boehly explains at the SALT Conference.
"And really starts to figure out, why don’t we do a tournament with the bottom four sports teams, why isn’t there an All-Star game?"People are talking about more money for the pyramid, in the MLB All-Star game this year we made 200 million dollars from a Monday and a Tuesday.
"So we’re thinking we could do a north versus south All-Star game for the Premier League, for whatever the pyramid needed quite easily."
"He doesn’t hesitate, he doesn’t wait long!’ Klopp said at a press conference.
"I’m surprised by the question so please don’t judge my answers too much, but maybe he can explain it to me at one point. https://twitter.com/SkySportsNews/status/1569932960832307200"Great. When he finds a date for that he can call me. He forgets that in the big sports in America, these sports have four-month breaks so they’re quite happy they can do a little bit of sport in these breaks. It’s completely different in football.
"Does he want to bring the Harlem Globetrotters as well and let them play a football team?
"I’m not sure people want to see that," added the German. ‘Imagine that, [Manchester] United, Liverpool, Everton, Newcastle players all on one team that’s not the national team, just a north team. Interesting game.
"All the London guys together. Arsenal, Tottenham. Great. Did he really say it? Interesting."
