The most popular American tennis player Andre Agassi said that he would buy five cubic meters of Wimbledon, owned by the legendary Bjorn Borgu. The Swede, who is experiencing financial difficulties, decided to put trophies for auction in order to somehow support his family.
According to Lenta.ru , Agassi wants to get cups not in a personal collection, but to transfer them to one of the museums.
“No one should own the Wimbledon winner,” the American explained his position. “I cannot condemn Borg, but the idea that someone can get this trophies only because he has a lot of money is unpleasant for me. Uimbledon is the greatest tournament in the world.”
Agassi can abandon the sole acquisition of prizes and is ready to do this as part of a group of people close to sports, provided that the cups in any case will be transferred to the museum. Borg expects to receive more than 500 thousand dollars for a collection of trophies.
