BofA: The Madonna Deal Explained in 72 Words

Peter Kafka | October 11, 2007 11:19 AM

We employed many words last night to explain why losing Madonna is a good thing for Warner Music Group, and why winning her is of dubious value for Live Nation. This morning, BofA analyst Michael Savner is more concise:

There is clearly headline risk associated with a Madonna defection. However, the bigger risk, in our view, would to overpay for an artist that does not seem to be generating the revenue to support the contract...We think the deal is more of a bold statement by Live Nation that it wants to quickly get deep in the music business, and less an example of Warner Music's inability to close a good deal.

I think it's about time I left warner music, they have sued me, ripped me off and lied about the numbers and many other things since day one. it is only fitting that these things would eventually come to light and that warner music has lost the greatest female artist on earth.

BYE BYE WARNER (cough rip-off)
