Marcos Galperin: How the Miami Sharks Owner Bought a Rugby Franchise for Only $7M | Ep.34
This week, we’re delighted to welcome Marcos Galperin to the show. Marcos is the founder of Latin American e-commerce giant Mercado Libre. Last year, he bought the Miami Sharks, a Major League Rugby expansion franchise, combining a lifelong passion for the game with asset ownership in a high potential league and market.
There are some crazy numbers in the world of sports valuations, and the opportunity to identify value where it is not yet maximised is becoming increasingly hard. Can rugby make it in the US? Hosting the 2031 Men’s Rugby World Cup is a huge opportunity to build community and engagement in the sport, but a strong domestic league needs to underpin the temporary arrival of a major tournament, and that is what Marcos is looking to help create in Miami.
Understanding the motivations of owners is crucial to helping fans establish a deep relationship with their teams. This is the story of why Argentina’s richest man went all in on franchise rugby. We’re delighted to welcome Marcos to the Business of Sport.

----------------------------------------------------
In today’s show we discuss:
1. Rugby in the US:
- Why the 2031 Rugby World Cup taking place in the US is a huge opportunity to build a strong community required to sustain attention on the game.
- Major League Rugby is an emerging league with increasing potential to challenge more established sporting organisations in the country; what needs to happen to grown the league?
- What are the key revenue drivers behind teams in the league? Does the league negotiate and broker deals or do franchises have the opportunity to do so at a local level?
- Miami Sharks has a strong South American following and community. Who are they fans? What do they want to see when they go to games?
2. Running a franchise:
- What is the cost of entry to buy an expansion franchise in Major League Rugby?
- Sports ownership can often be an ego play rather than financially driven business endeavour. What was the motivation behind Marcos purchasing the team?
- It is crucial to form an identity to be able to take out to market and sell to partners looking to work with you. How have Miami done this to build a roster of sponsors many MLS and NFL teams would covet?
- How important has it been to have the right people in place behind the scenes to execute the vision of the ownership?
- MLR has a salary cap to ensure overspending and subsequent financial mismanagement can’t happen. Is this good or bad?
3. The global profile of rugby:
- Why the need for a global league aligned to the international calendar has never been greater.
- There are not many global stars in rugby, and rugby clubs need to encourage their players to build and leverage their brand to boost the sport as well as the wider ecosystem.
- Riding the Miami wave; how the growth of Inter Miami and the ‘Messi effect’ has created a buzz in the area to take advantage of.
- What would Marcos do if he was in charge of World Rugby?

Grande Marcos ! Sos un líder para todos los programadores y emprendedores en tecnología de Argentina.
Talking about player branding, in South Africa the players are everywhere on billboards and ads, Siya Kolisi is a brand ambassador of Adidas and have had meetups with massive names of other sports, 1 example he visited Liverpool and has a big relationship with Jurgen Klopp.
He get the money from Argentina but he invest in a USA Rugby team. He is a rat
Very insightful. Thank you for creating and sharing and thank you for doing this interview Jonathan #COYS
I'm welsh
This women talks utter rubbish 🗑
Legend Nico
"It's just a podcast, i will be fine, just wearing my underpants and Tee shirt"
She is absolutely clueless and basic admit fraud on live radio and if I was her employer, I will fire her immediately
15:40 Lance Stroll will tell you otherwise
Now please compare Russell being 1.5kg light at spa and how much of a difference that made. 1.5kg lighter than Hamilton at the end is not due lack of rubber pick up.
why does he sound so zesty😭
You should really know the difference between G and g
This was a very interesting watch on a side of spurs I had never thought of great video
Cardiff boy! 👊🏼
As a spurs fan in India, I'm grateful that they did activities last year with having ossie & ledley here, exhilarating stuff and can't wait for more
Fantastic magical moment's you guys have put together 👏 Great snippet of our history 👌👌 Top work
What's the point of posting on ig when your team keeps losing 😂
Just a one time champion who nobody will remember in history....
Suurrreeee... Makes up for the fact that he didn't even build the structure in LA, moved the team to the Lakers' former city, and had the audacity to believe that people (employees included) will forget that they have to drive to Ingle-hood now ☠️
i think the smartest thing for a start would be to develop own talents and try to hold them for longer and get some decent middle age players from europes top leagues. Organically making the league more competitive. But it will sure take time.
What a legend
Grande PRES
This is the man who defeated a now 7-time world champion in equal machinery, during the era of said driver’s dominance
We're not Racist Love, we just don't like stupid people given easy money who don't know what there talking about.
If you want to Learn anything about football, give her a wide Berth.
Weseem to be on the right side of history with this guy et al.
He copied that from what Lewis said on the Graham Norton show.
We will never ever have a better chance to win a world cup.
No, you didn’t win because of the alleged kilo lost. You “won” because Mercedes sabotaged Hamilton.
Love Rosberg Top 5 but I’d put Prost over Fangio
Idk but i guess that explains why webber cant compete against seb? Hahaha the weight
Trade Jordan Clarkson, Sexton and FRPs for Steph Curry 🙏 Golden State is going no where. Utah would have the best duo in the league!
I’m not confident for the start of the season ( Ipswich) ,the squads to thin ,midfield old ,only one striker left now.And no more signings due before the season.we are way to light in numbers.
*in comes Kalvin Phillips and Smzodics!
This guy and his partners have transformed Ipswich
They need to raise the standard of the whole league first. The defending especially is horrendous.
Amazing
Anybody who calls the game soccer has know Idea about the game and is not worth listening to.
Thick as shit
Also… $1000 tickets? You wonder why MLS is not popular? Drop the prices and you’ll see more people rushing to a league. La Liga tickets are not that outrageous and yet, they can afford to pay crazy sums for their players.
The tickets are not 1000$. Don’t take random examples from internet strangers as gospel. Tf?
It’s not necessarily $1,000 by any means, but the prices definitely are higher when Messi or any other big name comes to town
Where is the full interview?
😂😂Nice editing
That Hamilton guy was really heavily the only problem Rosberg had through out his career
Football without promotion/relegation will quickly lose its appeal to fans imo.
COME ON YOU BLUES !!!!!!!!!!!!
Good of Brett to acknowledge C.E.O. Mark Ashton and his foresight in hiring K.Mc.
Top insights by Mr Gazidis. Wealth of football and commercial knowledge 👏🏾 ⚽️🏆
Fitzy popped the top hooker, Bruce Hemara rib cartilage, so was elevated to the team, the rest is history
