Yes, along with the spot on the board that they maintain in all other companies they invest in.What a duck says wrote:Even a 30% minority partnership would mean Anthos gets to be privy to the books, yes?

As "coach" has not told them too I would doubt they have done so. The truth only comes from coach don'tchaknowJay wrote:have any of them even looked at Anthos history with other companies???

If 50% is worth $20m, 30% is worth significantly less than $12m.What a duck says wrote:Even a 30% minority partnership would mean Anthos gets to be privy to the books, yes?

The more I see this issue addressed via an internet message board, the more I think it wouldn't be horrible for CrossFit to have some stakeholders with a more well versed professional background. I'm sorry, but this is starting to look like amateur hour.

Re: The couch thread
They are acting like Anthos is going to make @fit into 24 hour fitness. What the fuck are they worried about? Financial responsibility? Accountability? Business direction to expand and market more efficiently?
It's absolutely mind boggling to me.

So @F won a lawsuit against a guy for cybersquatting on a bunch of @F URLs...
Well, www.AnthosCrossFit.com redirects to www.CrossFit.com . Weird how that works!

Right. Couch might not sell out his kid, but he'll try to essentially murder their mother by trying to have the plug pulled during a difficult pregnancy.By contrast, Greene says, “Greg is never going to sell out. He’s not going to sell CrossFit any more than he’s going to sell his children.”
