Madison Square Garden Sports Corp.’s board of directors approved a plan to explore spinning off the NBA’s New York Knicks and NHL’s New York Rangers, a move that would make it easier to attract investors to the teams. 

Bloomberg's Randall Williams has the details and joined Tom Keene and Paul Sweeney on Bloomberg Surveillance.

Randall notes that few sports conglomerates are worth more than the combined value of the Knicks and Rangers, who both play at Madison Square Garden, one of the most famous arenas in the world. Sportico values the Knicks at $9.85 billion, third in the NBA. The Rangers are worth $3.65 billion, second in the NHL behind the Toronto Maple Leafs.

Join hosts Michael Barr and Vanessa Perdomo for a look at some of the latest headlines and stories in the business of sports.

Kalshi said it registered over $1 billion in trades related to the Super Bowl, a record surge that underscored the threat that booming prediction markets pose to traditional gambling companies.

The New York-based startup hosted $871 million in trading on Sunday alone, topping its previous busiest single day by 60%, according to estimates by Bank of America.

Along with Polymarket, Kalshi’s main rival, the two leading exchanges saw nearly $1.2 billion in total trading in Sunday, Piper Sandler analysts said in a Tuesday note to clients. That brought the total for last week to $4.8 billion, a 12% increase from the previous week.

The Bank of America team said that along with the Seattle Seahawks, who soundly defeated the New England Patriots, Kalshi was the day’s big winner. 
On this episode, hear from:
Bloomberg News Cross-Asset reporter Denitsa Tskeova on the big day for prediction markets during the Big Game
