Sport vs Money tells the inside story of the collision between football and business. Across four episodes, Jordan - the Premier League’s youngest-ever owner - travels the globe to uncover how decisions made by football’s top executives in the early 1990s transformed the world’s most beloved sport into a vast entertainment industry.
From London to Miami, Turin to New York, Jordan meets the people who have driven and defined this shift - including club owners, CEOs, FIFA executives, agents and former players - to explore how community-rooted clubs became billion-dollar assets, how players became global brands, and how the game’s future is being shaped behind closed doors.
Featured contributors include Arsène Wenger (FIFA), Andrea Agnelli (ex-Juventus), David Gill (Manchester United), Daniel Levy (Tottenham Hotspur), Freddie Ljungberg (Arsenal & Seattle Sounders), Rick Parry (Premier League), Lord Sugar (Tottenham Hotspur), and executives from Inter Miami, MLS, NFL and more.
Produced by BAFTA-winning filmmaker Grant Best (Rio Ferdinand: Being Mum & Dad, The Phenomenon, La Guerra Civil), and executive produced by Hugh Sleight (Maradona: The Fall, Canelo: The Greatest Athlete You’ve Never Seen), Sport vs Money offers unprecedented access and sharp insight into the high-stakes collision between sport and commerce — and asks: who really owns the game now?
