NBA franchise Miami Heat have received a crude offer to name their stadium after a strip club following the financial collapse of previous rights holder FTX.
Last Friday, FTX filed for bankruptcy to conclude a difficult few days for the cryptocurrency exchange. The company’s CEO and founder, Sam Bankman-Fried, resigned after the firm - which has lost billions - inquired regarding bankruptcy protection.
The Heat had signed a lucrative long-term deal to name their stadium after FTX only for the cryptocurrency firm to file for bankruptcy. Miami’s stadium will no longer bear its name despite a 19-year, $135million (£113.5m) deal signed last year, which led to the building being known as the FTX Arena since June 2021.
