Saw this today. Interesting.

Liquidity crunch in China. Again.

So will the rest of the World get our Kona slots back?

Anyone know Mark Zuckerberg? I thought I heard something on him doing a tri? Maybe he can buy it from Wanda & bring it back to America. He’s one of us now right? (pink)

IMC could combine IRONMAN ™ with UFC and create a supersport.

Should the fight come at the beginning, or the end?

I gave him a custom FB tri kit last year with his name written on the back in hopes of convincing him to join me at a local race… didn’t work :-/!

It’s already at the beginning, and it’s called the swim.

too bad Rev3 doesn’t have enough money to buy it.

Wanda is under financial and political pressure, been building for a while. They’re divesting assets already. Probably nothing in it specific to Ironman but its a topic if you follow the business pages. Here’s one example:

In fairness, it was only after he had camped out in Zuck’s bushes for a couple of weeks and he had to break into his house at 2am to deliver the kit.

Good point - hiding in plain sight.

Thanks for the link.

Interesting read, even for me who has no idea about international business.

Cheers,

Did you try to FB Messenger him? Some are more responsive to that vs email, or phone calls, or regular texting. My niece has a full v-mail box all the time, never checks the v-mail box, nor picks the phone up, or responds to text or email. But put a message to her on FB or FB Messenger & she responds faster than you can say “Sagen got hosed at TdF!”

Should I start a gofundme so I can buy Ironman and everyone that contributes will be an equity partner?

Only if your offer includes a promise to write a white paper that we can criticize the flock out of before it’s even published.
