Surprising if Hero gives away ISL. They just sponsored Indian National team for a year, They are home sponsor for U-17 World Cup, Also I-League and ISL were with them for a while. I think IMG might have made a deal of complete package with them but Vivo or Oppo offering mad money scenario might have change

According to Mr Jayaraj, Hero deal was for 3 years. Also ISL duration is more now. Thats why they went ahead with Oppo/Vivo instead of continuing with Hero Group.
Hero Group may leave FIH international Hockey as well as Pro League in future as India will not be participating and focus only on HIL.

This is to answer your question in Transfer Thread

If ISL clubs are making loses why are they investing so much?

IPL has a similar model

Add Tax exemptions for the Core Business of the Franchise holders under Corporate Social Responsibility and it is not any loss making venture !!!!

Logistics, Marketing - they make money everywhere.

Franchise may show loss but Core Business build over it and make money !!!!!

Yup, while the franchises lose money, the owners become richer so they actually gain money through tax evasion, etc. It's a scam

And that's why for Quess it's different.
