(Bloomberg) -- FIFA, the global governing body of international soccer, has lured some of the world’s top teams to the US for an inaugural Club World Cup with a record $1 billion to be distributed over the next month.

After reportedly starting out above $300 a ticket, seats for the opening June 14 match in Miami between Messi’s Inter Miami and Egypt’s Al Ahly FC are available for $73 on Ticketmaster.

We’ve gone Q&A heavy this week. Normally we like to use this newsletter as a rare chance to pontificate, but sometimes we have to put our hands up and admit other people know a lot more than we do. We chat to the CEO of the Florida Panthers about how they’ve turned the team around, and what comes next now that college athletes are paid-up professionals. And we take a quick look at the Club World Cup again. Also check out Ira’s great piece about how athletes are hooked on chess.com.
