Gareth Bale’s Offer to Buy Cardiff City

Soccer superstar Gareth Bale and his investment group have been in talks to buy League One club Cardiff City FC. The Welsh all-time leader in international caps and goals, also weighs in on the FIFA Club World Cup, 2026 FIFA men’s World Cup, Premier League, MLS as a retirement league, and other soccer topics from around the big slate of tournaments.

Plus, two of the biggest names in boxing, Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, take the ring at Madison Square Garden in the final chapter of their trilogy to headline the first all-women card in the Garden. Instead of the usual pay-per-view paywall broadcasting the historic event, Taylor-Serrano streams live on Netflix on Friday. Led by Jake Paul, the promoters of the fight organized this sold-out event to positively change the future of boxing, especially around increasing higher purses, opportunities for boxers, and media rights that provide easier access.

Also, with FOS reporter Alex Schiffer covering the NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, Alex joins Renee Washington and guest cohost Curran Bhatia to recap the sold-out Lakers-Mavericks game Thursday night featuring 2025 No. 1 overall pick Cooper Flagg and Bronny James. We also continue to get NBA offseason moves such as Jalen Williams’s recent max contract extension with the reigning-champion Thunder. OKC has now locked in Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and Williams with extensions that, combined, total up to $822 million.

Meanwhile, two-time MVP and NBA champion Giannis Antetokounmpo joined IShowSpeed on the famous YouTuber’s livestream and shared that he will “probably” stay in Milwaukee.
