The $6.1 billion dollar Celtics sale announced last March is expected be finalized within the “next week or so”, according to a report from Front Office Sports.
The deal is the largest in North American sports history. It surpassed the $6.05 billion-dollar deal for the Washington Commanders in 2023.
Prospective lead owner Bill Chisholm’s group has raised enough money to cover the cost of the deal, according to the report, which states that the group will acquire more than 51 percent of the team during the first part of the deal. The deal will reportedly be completed in two parts, with the second part expected to finish in 2028.
