See, that's the real "Problem". Larry doesn't really want MORE competition, because it increases the chances he'll lose, and then lose control of the Cup.

He wants to present the appearance of making it cheaper, and 'increasing competition' but he'll always have mo'money than anyone else, to dump into what ever HE decides to race it on.

That's also why nobody else wants in. There are not 10 Bazzillionairs in the world who want to get into a spending war with Larry. They all know he's going to tilt the money tables in his direction, so...what's the point of blowing a bunch of dough only to be outspent and out sailed, by Larry's team...again. It will never be "commercially viable" until he makes it more fair for everyone else (or 10 teams) to compete on an even field. And if they do go back to Monohulls, nobody's going to watch it...again.
