Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy now has a part-ownership stake in the video platform Rumble, as part of a deal to bring the Barstool Sports network to the platform.
The announcement was made on the Patrick David Bet Podcast by Rumble CEO Chis Pavlovski.
Under the leadership of Dave Portnoy, the sports, lifestyle and entertainment powerhouse brand, Barstool Sports, set Monday as the date to announce the move of its online video content to Rumble.
This decision has provided Rumble with a significant boost, notably causing its stock to rise sharply.
