Although Boyd's alleged chase of Penn is a few weeks old and hasn't been officially confirmed by either party, the news that Flutter might be involved is brand-new and was first reported earlier today. The outlet reported that Flutter, the parent company of FanDuel, may collaborate with Boyd and take over as a buyer of Penn's digital assets, which would include ESPN Bet, citing anonymous sources.
Less than three weeks had passed since rumors that Boyd was considering a bid of at least $9 billion for rival Penn first surfaced. Boyd's long-standing relationship with the Irish gaming company lends some logic to the possibility of Flutter's inclusion. A fifth of FanDuel is owned by the regional casino operator based in Las Vegas.
