Octagon Senior Vice President of Media Rights Consulting Dan Cohen talks about the business of valuing global sports rights. He talks about the headwinds facing the NFL, why the television is still king and which emerging bidders are most likely to claim major sports rights. He also discusses Nascar, Mexican soccer and what goes into placing a value on sports rights. Cohen also talks about ESPN and how sports leagues are divvying up their content.
Octagon in August began its media rights practice, which provides consultation to U.S. and international rights holders, broadcasters, emerging distribution platforms and the sports investment community. Prior to joining Octagon, Cohen was senior vice president of the Americas for MP & Silva.
