Follow on Google News | Soccer and Tennis, Golf and The Octagon, Featured As Sportfolio Unveils Its Summer SpecialMLS Commissioner Don Garber, Tennis Great Jim Courier on Wimbledon, UFC President Dana White all on tap for the first show of July
By: Joe Favorito Former World #1 tennis player and multiple Grand Slam champion Jim Courier shares his perspective on the state of the tennis business, including the decrease in the number of contending U.S. players at Wimbledon and the increase in prize money at all four "major" open tournaments. Bloomberg TV's Rachel Crane reports on the success of the Ultimate Fighting Championships, and the series' continuing upswing despite its inability to hold sanctioned events in New York. Fourty nine states now allow some form of regulated professional Mixed Martial Arts competition within their borders. UFC President Dana White tells Crane that his business will thrive even without direct access to the nation's top media market. From the PGA Tour to local golf courses, the business of golf is preparing to adjust to the USGA's rule prohibiting anchored putting (which will go into effect in 2016). Rick Horrow and Dominic Chu speak with USGA and PGA officials, professional golfers, and manufacturers about the impact of the controversy. This week’s show debuts Wednesday night at 9:30 PM and 12:30 AM ET Thursday on Bloomberg TV (DirecTV 353, check your local cable systems for the channel near you). The show reaches more than 270 million households through first-run and syndicated airings. Sportfolio premiered on September 27, 2011 and has now produced over 50 original episodes, all of which can be viewed at bloomberg.com/ Contact: Joe Favorito/917- Fatherknicketbocker1@ End
