Any time a major professional sports franchise is placed on the m
arket, there will be tons of speculation about who could buy the team. Any extremely rich person with close ties to that region is always in play, as are minority owners with significant capital to potentially take over a majority share (as is the case in Carolina). However, there will also be those from the entertainment world that want to get in on the action, and on Sunday night Diddy threw his hat in the ring to buy the team.
He has shown interest in the past too, but this time at least he has more of a plan, but at $820 million, his net worth isn’t enough to really touch an NFL franchise as a majority owner (the Panthers were valued at $2.3 billion in the last Forbes NFL valuations).
Enter Steph Curry.
Curry is a diehard Panthers fan, having grown up in the area, and he would certainly be popular as part of an ownership group. Responding to music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs’ tweet that he was interested in buying the Carolina Panthers, Curry tweeted, “I want in!”. It is unclear whether Curry was joking, but he surely has enough money to make a sizable investment in the franchise. He signed a five-year maximum contract worth $201 million last summer, and he boasts one of the most lucrative endorsement portfolios in professional sports.
