Nitin Tomar who
played for Puneri Paltan is under hammer now !
~ and is bought for 93 lakhs !!
Professionals
get more money ! .. in this age of
commercialism, everyone tries to maximize their revenues, things are outsourced
and experts command a premium ! ~ but do they pay for their mistakes or
somebody else does !!!! To come under the hammer’ or ‘fall under the hammer’
are phrases which refers to something being auctioned. The word "auction" is derived from
the Latin augeō which means "I increase" or "I
augment". I had posted more than a couple of times on ‘Richard
Madley’ .. the man conducting IPL player
auction. Richard Madley, who lives in
Biddestone and works for Dreweatts in Bristol,
did it in 2008 for Indian Premier League, when 8 teams spent over $40
million in eight hours to ‘own’ 75 best cricket players in the world; he was back in 2011; 2012 and now again in
Feb 2014 at Bangalore. Crores exchanged
and some went for astronomical prices.
In some
ways, it is easy for Richard Madley - unlike many other auctions, he need not
justify the base price or speak on the merit of what was on sale. It is not the intrinsic value but the demand
for the property on sale that determines the price in Auction. There are various ways in this modern World –
the IPL player auction occurs in a plush atmosphere but in somewhat antiquated
fashion. The buyers – representatives of
IPL franchisees sit in round tables and raise a paddle indicating their bid…
the amount goes incremental, until there is a single buyer…. Simple !!
Heard of Bid &
Hammer - established in 2007 by Maher Dadha (industrialist, art collector and
also publisher of the book ‘Views of India – Art of the British Raj’) and his
sons Ankush Dadha & Apoorva Dadha along with Charu Sharma &many
others, Bid & Hammer is an auction house. Its web claims that when the burgeoning Indian auction market was
synonymous with Indian paintings, Bid & Hammer started with the objective
of developing the Indian art and auction market beyond paintings by introducing
the concept of generalist as well as specialist auctions.
They, represented
by Bob Hayton is on media now. Bob
Hayton is a professionally qualified Auctioneer and Valuer with more than 30
years standing, well known for his work in the field of Fine Arts and Chattels
within the UK.
Pro Kabaddi League
(PKL) (officially known as the Vivo Pro Kabaddi for sponsorship reasons) is the
professional kabaddi league in India,
based on the format of the Indian Premier League T20 cricket tournament. It is an initiative of Mashal Sports.Pro
Kabbadi has a solid band of viewership. VIVO Pro Kabaddi has become India’s biggest
sports league with the inclusion of four new teams that will participate in the
league from Season 5 onwards due to be played in July – October this year. The
announcement of the four new team owners was made by Mashal Sports, organizer
and administrator of the league and its parent organization STAR India.
The four new
franchises announced by Mashal Sports represent some of the leading corporate
institutions in India, including prominent owners of teams in the ongoing
Indian Premier League as well as the I-League. The new geographies for VIVO Pro
Kabaddi Tamil Nadu, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Gujarat have been primarily
chosen for their high affinity towards Kabaddi with massive fan bases,
significant on-ground presence of the sport, and potential commercial value to
sponsors and advertisers.
Pro Kabaddi League
enters its fifth edition when it begins in July 2017 and the first step towards
it will be the Auction. Part of the pool for the Auction are 131 new young
players, after seven players were retained by the teams. The auction for the
fifth edition of PKL 2017 is now on at New Delhi with over 400 players set to
participate in the fifth season. Each franchise will be allowed to buy 18-25
players to form a team and will consist of 2 to 4 overseas players. 60+
international players from 16 countries will go under the hammer.
Sachin
Tendulkar it seems is on an entrepreneurship drive as he has now invested in
the sport of kabaddi too. The cricket maestro is among the new owners of four
new franchises of the hugely popular Pro Kabaddi League, which will hold its
fifth season from July to October. Tendulkar will jointly own the yet-to-be
