Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has pitched the idea of replicating the NBA's version of the All-star match in the Premier League.

The American business tycoon opened up about his plans to revolutionise elements of English football, to try to boost broadcasting revenue.

Boehly, who also owns shares of Los Angeles teams the Dodgers in Major League Baseball and the Lakers in the NBA, reckons the Premier League could draw inspiration from the American style.

“Ultimately I hope the Premier League takes a little bit of a lesson from American sports,” said Boehly at a New York conference as quoted by the Independent.

“And really starts to figure out, why don’t we do a tournament with the bottom four sports teams, why isn’t there an All-Star game?

“People are talking about more money for the pyramid, in the MLB All-Star game this year we made 200 million dollars from a Monday and a Tuesday.

“So we’re thinking we could do a North versus South All-Star game for the Premier League, for whatever the pyramid needed quite easily.”

Tuchel was relieved of his duties as Chelsea's head coach last week following a spate of poor results.

The German gaffer was sacked barely 15 months after leading the side to Champions League victory. Boehly adopted the ruthless nature of former owner Roman Abramovich by firing Tuchel at the first sight of a dip in form.
