"I think we've done so well because people want to escape to some sort of fantasy," Bibbero said.
Rovell then delves into the fact that the Sports Legends Challenge is unlike any sports fantasy event that has come before it.
For years, fans have met their favorite sports stars by paying hundreds of dollars for a couple seconds of in-person contact and a signature at a memorabilia show. Others have dished thousands to meet their heroes at fantasy camps.
Bruce Bibbero thinks his latest offering tops it all.
