BCE HAS SPORTS ASSETS WORTH $4.5 BILLION TO SELL hUM, JOINTLY OWNED WITH ROGERS!!
Rogers and BCE each own a 37.5 per cent stake in Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, which owns the Toronto Maple Leafs and Raptors, as well as the city’s CFL and MLS teams. Rogers also owns the Toronto Blue Jays, while Bell has a 20 per cent stake in the Montreal Canadiens.
Price estimated a value of $6.7 billion for Rogers’ sports assets and $4.5 billion for that of BCE, which could be “potentially a more motivated seller than Rogers.”
But either company could be tempted to at least consider selling a portion of their sports team ownership, said Heger, who pointed out demand is strong among potential buyers.
