Squawka releases Moneyball Index: ranking how well Premier League clubs convert transfer spending into on-pitch results

LONDON, Nov. 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Squawka’s Moneyball Index ranks Premier League clubs from the past five seasons (including 2025/26) according to how efficiently they transform net transfer spending into on-pitch performance. The ranking covers 21 teams that have appeared in at least 3 seasons.

Key Findings

The Moneyball index highlights Manchester United as one of the league’s least efficient spenders, based on points earned and trophy success. By contrast, Manchester City and Liverpool have achieved the most success relative to transfer spend. Brighton, known for generating significant profits through their recruitment strategy, tops the index.

Top of the Index: Brighton (+10) ranks No. 1 for efficiency.
Manchester City (+6) and Liverpool (+4) have translated their net spend into consistent on-pitch success.
Inefficient spenders: Manchester United (-4) are among the league’s most inefficient by this measure when factoring in points and trophy success.
Aston Villa (+8), Wolves (+4), and Everton (+4) also outperform expectations considering their spending levels.
Arsenal (-1), Chelsea (-1), Tottenham (-2), Newcastle (-2), and West Ham (-2) have not matched spending with on-pitch results.
Bournemouth (-6), Burnley (-8), and Nottingham Forest (-9) record the lowest efficiency scores on the Index.

Methodology

Squawka ranked each eligible club across two pillars: 1) Net Spend and 2) Performance (league points plus trophy points, with trophies weighted by reputation and difficulty).
Moneyball Index = Performance rank minus Net Spend rank. A positive value means over-performance; a negative value indicates under-performance versus spend.
Scope: Covers the past five seasons, including 2025/26, and includes 21 clubs with at least three seasons within this timeframe.
Sources: Transfermarkt for transfer figures; points total correct as of 20 November 2025.

Comment
“Fans discuss net spend, but return on investment is the real measure,” said Tom Dutton, Head of Content at Squawka. “Our Moneyball Index weighs transfer expenses against points and trophies to show which clubs extract the most value from recruitment.”

Datavault AI Signs Agreement with the World Boxing Council, Unlocks Global Event-Driven Monetization at Scale

Company’s recurring licensing deal further monetizes Datavault’s patented ADIO® and Data Vault® with WBC sports and entertainment content
Collaboration creates scalable, multi-event revenue pathways fueled by authenticated engagement
WBC events are distributed across more than 170 countries

PHILADELPHIA , Nov. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN — Datavault AI Inc. (Nasdaq: DVLT) (“Datavault” or “the Company”), a leader in data monetization, credentialing, and digital engagement technologies, today announced it has executed an agreement with the World Boxing Council (WBC)¹. The software licensing deal brings Datavault’s patented ADIO® ultrasonic engagement technology, DataVault®, VerifyU, and Information Data Exchange (IDE) platform² to WBC championship events throughout the remainder of 2025 and 2026.

The WBC sanctions major boxing events distributed across more than 170 countries through broadcast and streaming partners¹ and is one of the most recognized and influential sanctioning bodies in professional boxing. Founded in 1963, the WBC has played a central role in shaping modern sport, establishing global standards for fighter safety, competition integrity, officiating, and event regulation. WBC’s greatest champions include Muhammad Ali, Mike Tyson, Julio Cesar Chavez, Oscar de La Hoya, Sugar Ray Leonard, Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao among others.

Datavault and the WBC will share in event-driven revenue generated through ADIO® and IDE activations on a 50/50 basis.

The Global Reach of the WBC

WBC major championship fights operate across broadcast television, streaming networks, social platforms, and in-venue environments, giving Datavault the ability to capture authenticated interactions in real time across every channel. These engagements can flow directly into the IDE platform, creating compliance-ready datasets for sponsor reporting, audience segmentation, attribution analysis, and post-event monetization.

Recent WBC-affiliated championship fights have demonstrated extraordinary global reach, including a reported 41 million viewers for the Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford event². This scale offers Datavault a broad operating environment for capturing authenticated audience engagement across one of the world’s largest live-event ecosystems.

As WBC events accumulate throughout the year, the resulting datasets can form a scalable, durable asset that can be commercialized across recurring sponsorship cycles. Brands gain the ability to evaluate performance with greater precision. Rights-holders receive validated reporting. Datavault’s technology supports the entire lifecycle of this data creation, authentication, valuation, and deployment.

Monetizing the WBC Content through Datavault AI’s Solutions

Datavault’s ADIO® and IDE platforms convert fan participation — such as ADIO-powered silent triggers^3, QR-based activations, sponsor interactions, contest entries, and digital confirmations — into verified data objects, often categorized as real-world assets (RWAs). These authenticated data objects, which include data from past, present, and future events, carry measurable commercial value because they provide sponsors and rights-holders with precise attribution, accurate reporting, and transparent engagement metrics.

To illustrate how this translates into event-level monetization, consider a championship fight that reaches 40 million viewers. If only 10 percent engage through ADIO-inaudible tones, reinforced by QR-based capture, the result is roughly 4 million authenticated interactions. With authenticated sports-fan engagements commonly valued in the single- to double-digit-dollar range per transaction, according to industry benchmarks⁴, a single premium event has the potential to generate a multi-million-dollar dataset that continues to deliver value across future campaigns.

Datavault AI has also demonstrated the power of authenticated engagement in prior real-world deployments². Although past deployments and engagements do not guarantee future results, they highlight how verified, intentional interactions can scale when engagement is captured in real time. The WBC’s global footprint amplifies that effect, creating an environment where even conservative participation rates can compound into meaningful and repeatable revenue.

Management Commentary

“We are excited to integrate Datavault’s forward-thinking technology innovation into WBC championship events,” said Mauricio Sulaimán, WBC President. “This collaboration strengthens how we reach, understand, and engage our global audience, creating new value for fans, fighters, and our commercial partners. We are always looking for ways to elevate the sport, and these new capabilities open the door to an entirely new level of connection and impact.”

Datavault CEO Nathaniel Bradley stated, “The WBC’s global footprint makes it a powerful partner for our ADIO and Information Data Exchange platforms. We’re excited to deliver technologies that strengthen data integrity, improve reporting in real time, and expand the commercial value that can be created from authenticated fan engagement.”

“This agreement allows Datavault to demonstrate and, just as importantly, monetize our patented technology in a globally distributed sports environment. The WBC collaboration aligns with Datavault’s core mission: turning audience participation into high-integrity data assets with measurable commercial value,” Nate added. “As the demand for verified engagement accelerates across the sports and entertainment industries, we believe partnerships like this will compound and set an industry example.”

Datavault AI Turns Raw Earth into Digital Power in $7 Million Deal with MTB Mining Ltd.

Partnership deal represents the intersection of AI, digital asset creation, and geology

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via IBN – Datavault AI (“Datavault AI” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: DVLT), a provider of data monetization, credentialing, digital engagement, and real‑world asset digitization technologies, today announced a $7 million minting deal and a 30% perpetual royalty partnership with Tanzania-based MTB Mining Limited (MTB), setting the stage for what Datavault AI believes is the first major step forward in modernizing how mineral resources are verified, documented, and brought into global commerce with a unified transaction ledger. The deal redefines a commodity by digitizing Real World Assets (RWA) for monetization. Under Datavault AI’s patented Sumerian® technology, rare earth minerals are being transformed into verified, traceable, digitized assets to be traded on the forthcoming International Elements Exchange.

This agreement with MTB delivers a blueprint for how physical assets evolve into digital assets.

Africa Steps into the Global Ledger

For generations, Africa supplied the raw materials that were integral in building modern industry. Today, MTB, headquartered in Tanzania, controls over 25 million metric tons of copper reserves and 2.44 square kilometers of proven mineral reserves. Through its alliance with Datavault AI, MTB’s resources are entering the global marketplace in digital form. Each unit of copper, gold, tin, or diamond will carry verified proof of origin, ownership, and value.

The partnership includes the Windsor Ruby, a gemstone that drew global attention when it was discovered near the village of Winza in 2007. Renowned for its deep crimson hue and near-perfect clarity, it rivaled the finest Burmese rubies and quickly drew attention from major luxury houses including Van Cleef & Arpels. Through Datavault AI’s Sumerian® Anchors, the Windsor Ruby will carry a permanent digital signature that is immutable and verifiable. Not only can Sumerian® Anchors provide verification for famous gemstones like the Windsor Ruby, the verification technology can be applied to any precious gemstone.

For Tanzania, where mining represents a vast amount of export value, digitally verifiable asset records represent more than a technological milestone; it is economic modernization. It opens the door for lending, collateralization, and cross-border trade using verified digital assets.

The Proof Economy Arrives

“This deal is a milestone for technology and transparency. By minting real world assets, we are creating compliant, transparent pathways to monetize natural wealth on a global scale,” said Nathaniel Bradley, Datavault AI Chief Executive Officer and co-founder.

Bradley’s message reflects Datavault AI’s broader mission: the Company is building the infrastructure for a data-driven economy where value is established by verification and trusted information.

While the numbers are compelling – a $7 million license fee – the innovative digital architecture provides the promise for future, similar transactions. The International Elements Exchange will operate as a virtual refinery, turning physical assets into digital evidence that can be traded, audited, and monetized.

Big Win for TP in Thailand at HR Excellence Awards: Setting a new benchmark in people-driven resilience

BANGKOK, Thailand, Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — TP (ex-Teleperformance) in Thailand, a leader in digital business services, today announced that it has been recognized with two honors at the HR Excellence Awards Thailand 2025.

The Silver Award for Excellence in Best HR Team and the Bronze Award for Excellence in Recovery & Rebound Strategy demonstrate TP in Thailand’s strategic approach to human capital management, which strengthens its operational agility and competitiveness throughout Southeast Asia.

Workforce strategy that supports a high-performance, multilingual business services hub

TP in Thailand integrates its people-first strategy across business functions, enabling rapid market response and high-value delivery for its global clients.

Supporting over 450 employees across major hubs in Bangkok, TP in Thailand has built a multilingual workforce that empowers clients in broad industries. The company’s talent management programs, including data-driven hiring, integrated learning pathways, and targeted leadership development, have created a repeatable framework for scaling complex, multilingual operations.

These people-focused operating practices ensure clients benefit from faster team ramp-ups, seamless cross-functional collaboration, and a continuous pipeline of “ready-now” leaders. By investing in tailored engagement and expatriate onboarding, TP in Thailand enhances the employee experience, which in turn translates into sustained productivity and improved service quality for its clients.

The Recovery & Rebound blueprint for clients

TP in Thailand’s business continuity model integrates real-time oversight, multi-location redundancy, and rapid workforce mobilization to protect client operations during unexpected disruptions. This framework was tested during the Myanmar earthquake in March 2025, when TP in Thailand activated its continuity plan within minutes to stabilize teams, systems, and delivery.

A 24/7 global command center coordinated actions across sites, alternate delivery hubs were engaged to absorb workloads, and secure remote-access tools were deployed to keep critical teams connected to client systems. At the same time, TP in Thailand prioritized employee safety through structured check-ins and on-the-ground support, ensuring teams remained protected and able to operate effectively.

This combination of preparedness, redundancy, and people-first response enabled TP in Thailand to return to near-full productivity within two days, achieve full operational restoration within 48 hours, and maintain zero impact on client data or revenue. These continuity capabilities now anchor TP in Thailand’s operating playbook—giving global brands confidence that performance, security, and delivery remain stable even amid regional volatility.

Himanshu Rathore, COO, TP in Thailand, “Human capital is no longer a support function—it is the competitive edge. These recognitions confirm that TP in Thailand offers global brands a resilient, multilingual, ready-to-scale platform anchored in engaged people and disciplined execution.”

Green Our Planet named winner of F1® Allwyn Global Community Award in Las Vegas

Ciara Byrne receives the F1® Allwyn Global Community Award in Las Vegas on behalf of winning initiative Green Our Planet ahead of the Formula 1® Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix 2025.

The final F1® Allwyn Global Community Award of the 2025 season presented to local sustainability education initiative
The €100,000 donation from Allwyn will be used to extend Green Our Planet’s ‘HydroConnect’ programme – which teaches students how to grow food while mastering STEM, nutrition, and sustainability through hydroponics

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Allwyn, the multi-national lottery-led entertainment company, and Formula 1® have announced Green Our Planet as the winner of the final F1® Allwyn Global Community Award of the 2025 season. The local Las Vegas initiative was recognised for its HydroConnect programme, which will now be extended thanks to a €100,000 donation (equivalent to over $117,000) from Allwyn.

HydroConnect teaches young students how to grow food while mastering STEM, nutrition and sustainable agriculture. It is Green Our Planet’s answer to addressing two interconnected challenges in under-resourced communities: inequitable access to high-quality STEM education and healthy food. Green Our Planet runs the largest hydroponics programme in the United States operating in 1400+ schools in 44 states and impacting over 500,000 students. In Las Vegas Green Our Planet works with over 200 schools.

The programme has donated hydroponic systems – the world’s most water-efficient form of farming – to 32 schools in under-resourced communities in Las Vegas, and provided teacher training to turn science into a hands-on experience for over 24,000 students in the United States.

Formula 1’s support for Green Our Planet takes many forms. In addition to providing funding, Formula 1 serves as the presenting sponsor of Green Our Planet’s Giant Student Farmers Market, the largest student-run farmers market in the United States held annually in Las Vegas. Each year, thousands of students showcase produce they’ve grown in school gardens and hydroponic systems — an important celebration of youth entrepreneurship, sustainability, and community. The FORMULA 1® HEINEKEN LAS VEGAS GRAND PRIX 2025 team has even installed its own hydrophobic micro farm at the track – a powerful statement of the iconic race’s commitment to sustainability. These hydroponic units conserve up to 90% more water than traditional agriculture, which is an important innovation considering its desert climate.

The F1 Allwyn Global Community Award recognises outstanding contributions to society that F1-linked initiatives are making in the places they race. Green Our Planet directly connects with the four social goals of the Award, demonstrating local impact in the areas of education, culture, wellbeing and sustainability.

Aleš Veselý, CEO at Sazka, part of Allwyn, and F1® Allwyn Global Community Award judge said: “At Allwyn, our ethos is ‘taking a chance gives you one,’ and Green Our Planet’s HydroConnect programme perfectly embodies that spirit. Combining STEM education with sustainable agriculture equips thousands of young students with vital real-world skills while addressing challenges like food insecurity and unequal access to education. We’re thrilled that our donation will help expand this impactful initiative, fostering future generations of innovators and changemakers.”

Ellen Jones, Head of ESG at Formula 1 and F1® Allwyn Global Community Award judge said: “Green Our Planet stood out to the judges because its work touches many of the elements that we look to recognise with this Award. It’s a unique project that delivers tangible results – particularly in its innovative approach to connecting children with sustainability and important life skills. I’d love to think that their work will help inspire a future generation of sustainability and community leaders one day.”

F1® Allwyn Global Community Award winner, Ciara Byrne, Green Our Planet, said: “At Green Our Planet, we believe that when students learn to grow food, they also grow curiosity, confidence, and a connection to the planet. To have Formula 1 and Allwyn — both global symbols of innovation — recognise that work means the world to us. Their support will help us bring hands-on STEM and sustainability education to even more students, empowering the next generation of innovators and caretakers of our planet.“

The F1® Allwyn Global Community Award, created as part of the multi-year partnership between Formula 1 and Allwyn, reflects a shared commitment to driving positive change and giving back to the communities in which they operate. This year a total of four local initiatives – including those previously announced in the Netherlands, Austin and Mexico – were chosen by judges to each win a €100,000 donation from Allwyn and the chance to visit a Formula 1 Grand Prix.

New Global Study: Dangerous Nighttime Heat Rising in 83% of Global Cities Analyzed, Becoming More Oppressive, And More Frequent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — While leaders have been focusing on avoiding breaching the +1.5°C threshold of the Paris Agreement, a sweeping new scientific analysis of the most dangerous summer weather conditions across 100 major global cities revealed that minimum nighttime temperatures have been rising up to 10 times faster than daytime average highs in many global cities during oppressively hot weather.

The study by Climate Resilience for All, Extreme Heat and the Shrinking Diurnal Range: A Global Evaluation of Oppressive Air Mass Character and Frequency, analyzed weather data over a 30-year period from 1994 to 2024, isolating the two types of weather conditions, or “air masses”, considered most dangerous for human health: “dry tropical” (DT) weather, which is hot and dry, and “moist tropical” (MT) weather which is hot and humid.

Heat exposure has traditionally been measured by exposure to daytime high temperatures and increasing “average” temperatures. This study points clearly to the urgent need for preventative and responsive actions on extreme heat to explicitly account for and address the rapidly rising threat of hotter nights.

Global, regional, and city level data visualizations can be accessed via this link.

The analysis found:

Increases in nighttime temperatures, and decreases in the gap between daytime highs and nighttime lows across much of the globe

83% of cities in the study are experiencing sustained, higher nighttime temperatures.
Nighttime temperatures are rising fastest in Melbourne, Australia (dry tropical), where they increase by 1°C every 5.36 years, and Dubai, UAE (moist tropical), where they rise by 1°C every 8.81 years.
- During moist tropical weather, Santa Maria, Upington, Seoul, Samarkand, Paris, Kuwait City, Portland, and Abadan are seeing the biggest decrease between daytime and nighttime temperatures. The number of cities seeing decreases per region breaks down as follows:
  - Africa: 13 out of 15.
  - Asia: 18 out of 22.
  - Central and South America: 10 out of 11.
  - Europe: Seven out of 12.
  - Middle East: 5 out of 5.
  - North America: 14 out of 16.
  - Oceania: Nine out of 11.
- During dry tropical weather, Melbourne, Agadir, Seoul, Mumbai, Cairo, Luxor, Kuwait City, and Santiago are seeing the biggest decrease between daytime and nighttime temperatures. The number of cities seeing decreases per region breaks down as follows:
  - Africa: 10 out of 14.
  - Asia: 13 out of 22.
  - Central and South America: Seven out of 11.
  - Europe: Four out of six.
  - Middle East: Six out of seven.
  - North Americas: 11 out of 14
  - Oceania: Five out of nine.
  - Some of the regions show weaker differentiation, possibly because dry tropical weather types are rarely present in the cities we evaluated in those regions.

Increases in the frequency of extreme heat days

Over the 30-year study period, summertime moist tropical weather patterns have increased close to or over 50 percent in Central and South America, Oceania, and Africa – and have grown by 37 percent globally.
Dry tropical weather patterns have grown by 13 percent over the same period, with the largest increase in Australia, which had a 29 percent rise.

“Before this analysis, we did not know how rapidly nighttime heat has been rising within the most dangerous air masses,” said Larry Kalkstein, climatologist, Chief Heat Science Advisor at Climate Resilience for All, and the study’s lead author. “It is critical for us to understand how the heat of summer—that sends people to the emergency room—is shifting, and what we are overlooking when we talk about it.”

“We want this analysis to mobilize city and health leaders to urgently broaden their view of what is a 24-hour heat crisis. This research uncovers a critical blind spot in our understanding of extreme heat,” said Kathy Baughman McLeod, CEO of Climate Resilience for All.

High nighttime temperatures prevent the human body from cooling down, increasing risks of heat exhaustion, dehydration, and cardiovascular stress. When sleep is disrupted by heat, the body loses its ability to recover from daytime exposure, heightening the danger of illness and death—especially for older adults, women, and those living in poorly ventilated housing.

Heat warning systems are focused on high daytime temperatures and currently minimize the impact of overnight temperatures. The study offers guidance and urges health officials and policymakers to integrate these changing patterns into their work and to ramp up regionally targeted heat warning systems that account for the growing probability of multi-day, high-intensity events that offer little nocturnal relief.
