  周三,NBA董事会一致通过了蔡崇信的收购项目。他斥资23.5亿美元买下篮网队,并花费另外10亿美元买下巴克莱中心。
  来自台湾的蔡崇信去年从俄罗斯富豪米哈伊尔·普罗霍罗夫(Mikhail Prokhorov)手中花10亿美元购买了篮网队49%的股份,并计划在2021年用另外13.5亿美元购买剩余51%的股份,但决定提早完成收购。

  23.5亿美元的交易价格创下了收购体育球队的最高记录。这击败了去年大卫·泰伯(David Tepper) 以22亿美元买下NFL卡罗莱纳黑豹队,以及2017年亿万富翁提尔曼·费迪塔(Tilman Fertitta)以22亿美元买下休斯顿火箭队。

  NBA的新闻稿中说,蔡崇信已经完成全部收购程序,正式成为篮网队和巴克莱中心的主人(完全控股)。

  “对篮网队和巴克莱中心的完全控股后,我们将持续为篮网粉丝带来篮球的精彩”,新闻稿援引蔡崇信的话说,“我们对布鲁克林做出承诺,将巴克莱中心构建成社区最棒的一部分是值得骄傲的使命”。
