I dont know, I dont think it'll be too much of a problem since, as you mentioned, its an amazing story and I think if it came all the down to 'passing a hat around' they could probably come up with the cash.

As someone who really enjoys the Finance of Sport, I think this in incredible.

When it comes to sports you always hear "its millionaires playing a game!"

And those players are rich, but actually funding the entire operation including paying those players? Those guys are 'wealthy.'

So seeing a couple actors doing more than just chipping in a bit part but actually taking this endeavour on is pretty cool.
