So what is all this stuff i rea here http://www.pokernews.com/news/2012/0...land-12478.htm abou t these frenchies buying FT and starting up a new business name for it. Can someone plez explain, Im not that smart to figure this out. Was Tapie working with Isach(owners of Stars)??????
They pulled the shows right after BF, I would think the US market is the cash cow for TV poker. If they do buy FTP do you think they will start making TV shows again?
cash cow ?
They paid to have the shows on TV if I understood things right.
Pokerstars didn't show up on Monday an told the DOJ they were going to buy FTP if this is true... They must have been involved for a long time.
I think a decently possible scenario is that either before or sometime after Tapie showed interest Pokerstars approached Tapie and told him they were interested in FTP as well and that they could partner up if it works out.
It makes a decent amount of sense too for Pokerstars to not want to be involved in an FTP deal if it falls through, and that they remain "hidden" until they are sure it can be done. Pokerstars doesn't need the negative press of a poker room they wanted to buy going broke.
It's pretty sick how well hidden this has remained if true though.
