FSG partner Linda Pizzuti Henry joins forces with Nike to strike £55m deal

Fenway Sports Group partner Linda Pizzuti Henry is part of a $75m (£55m) investment into the elite competition in American women's basketball, the WNBA.

Pizzuti Henry, the wife of FSG supremo and Liverpool principal owner John W Henry, is part of a group of investors who have provided a capital injection into the WNBA in a bid to grow the competition, with the $75m investment the largest capital raise in women's sports history.

The investment from Pizzuti Henry, who serves as CEO of the Boston Globe newspaper that her husband owns privately, has also been made privately and has not been done through FSG.
