"Ultimately I hope the Premier League takes a little bit of a lesson from American sports," Boehly said. "And really starts to figure out, why don’t we do a tournament with the bottom four sports teams, why isn’t there an All-Star game?
"People are talking about more money for the pyramid; in the MLB All-Star game this year we made $200m from a Monday and a Tuesday. So we’re thinking we could do a North versus South All-Star game for the Premier League, for whatever the pyramid needed quite easily."
Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp was one of the first to be asked about Boehly's proposal. Speaking after his side's 2-1 Champions League win over Ajax on Tuesday, he appeared less than impressed by the idea: "He doesn’t wait long. When he finds a date for that he can call me. In American sports these players have four-month breaks." "Does he want to bring the Harlem Globetrotters as well?" he added, sarcastically."Maybe he can explain that. I’m not sure people want to see that – United players, Liverpool players, City players, Everton players all together. It is not the national team. Did he really say it?"
