Bulls and the emergence of young stars such as Blake Griffin of the Los
Angeles Clippers and Christian
Louboutin Shoes on sale Wall of the Washington Wizards. Attendance
at games is flat, down 1 compared to last year, but TV ratings on ESPN and TNT
are up a whopping 30. Advertisers and sponsors have noticed the resurgent fan
interest. The two sponsors that stand to lose the most are the newest
onesSpanish banking group BBVA and American Express. BBVA, which is looking for
increased brand exposure, signed a fouryear, 100 million deal with the Discount
Jimmy Choo Shoes this year. And American Express just returned as a
sponsor after a fiveyear absence. "The problem is this," said one chief
marketing officer for an NBA partner. "It's not so much the money that we spend
with the league and on the ads, it's how do you fill the hole in the promotional
schedule? I mean, you can give me a makegood, but sometimes there's no real way
to make good." TNT clearly has the Discount
Manolo Blahnik Shoes to fill the void if there is no NBA next
season, but sportscentric ESPN would have to scramble. Unlike the NBA lockout in
1999, ESPN no longer has the National Hockey League to fall back on. And,
according to a report prepared by analysts from RBC Capital, Disney derives 55
of its revenue from sports, primarily from ESPN. As with the NFL, the NBA
dispute is mostly over money. The NBA, Discount
Yves Saint Laurent Shoes it lost 370 million last year, wants to
change entirely a system that currently gives the players 57 of the revenue. The
league doesn't open its books, so that revenue loss is disputed by the players
union. "Nobody is anxious to have a lockout or a work stoppage," said Neil
Pilson, the former CBS Sports president who now runs his own consultancy, Pilson
Communications.
