Rubin, has part ownership in three other franchises, Philadelphia 76ers, New Jersey Devils and the Premier League’s Crystal Palace. Combs tweeted his desire to buy the team, saying “I would like to buy the @Panthers. Spread the word. Retweet!â€, while Curry responded by saying, “Obviously I have a day job, but I’ve got people that are plugged in and are trying to see how to make that happen.
