BallHype and ShowHype have been acquired by Future US. Future US is a leading publisher of special-interest magazines and websites and one of the fastest-growing media companies in the US.  With market-leading publications in the Games, Music, Technology, Action Sports and men’s and women’s special-interest markets.  Well, it looks like they are getting into the sports business now.  With their advertising contacts we wouldn’t be suprised if they make back their money on this investment in a few years.

You can read the info about their sale at a post on Ballhype.  The actual amount of money for the purchase was not realeased but TechCrunch’s great sources provided the 3 million dollar price tag.  Congratulations to Erin and Jason.  They deserve it.  Though we think if they waited another year, that price tag may have been 10 million.  We know they have a child to support so I am sure that selling now had something to do with it.  Erin and Jason will both continue to run BallHype and will be apart of Future US.
