"Ultimately I hope the Premier League takes a little bit of a lesson from American sports," Boehly proclaimed, "and really starts to figure out, 'Why don’t we do a tournament with the bottom four sports team? 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 also took a cut at the Chelsea head honcho for his claims that Mo Salah and Kevin De Bruyne - two Chelsea signings in the past - came from the club's academy. "Learn your own lessons first," he remarked.
