    Like many rockets fans I was puzzled with the halftime show and more acts that you don’t actually have to pay for. Clearly, FVV contract is hampering our halftime entertainment efforts. Who can blame large contracts and injuries right?

    like many other rockets fans I was also on my way to start a gofundme until I saw this YouTubes video. Why are we being so cheap then?!

    Unless something has changed recently he's been leveraged out his ass for decades

    Does this means lots of debts?

    His net worth skyrocketed during COVID. Strange considering you’d think his industry would have been most impacted by it.

    Fertits is ultra cheap, just look at his restaurants. He buys assets and will make the product worse so he could save a couple extra cents. He will spend money on buying assets (leveraged) and good P.R. moves, like he does with the Coogs. Otherwise, he cuts costs to actually run his business to the bone. He is cheap AF, that's why we have the worst halftimes in the history of the NBA.

    Guys who make serious money in the restaurant industry are notorious for this…not paying their vendors.

    Halftime is still the best part of every game. Last night for example. That karate exposition was AMAZING!

    Tillman is a billionaire based on book value of assets, not based on high liquidity.

    Can anyone tell me how to become a cheap billionaire? I mean, where and how do I sign up?
