Ferman admits to being a friend of Mario since he was 18 years old, and attending The U (Sunshine U) at that time...Ferman is losing Sponsors, and Subscribers regularly. Ferman knows getting Mario, gives him extra access, hence more stories and Subscribers. Once Ferman thought Mario signed an extension, he moved on to The Pirate (whom he interviewed 20 years ago) and thinks he has a relationship with (but Leash doesn't think so)...See Ferman is about clicks, likes etc...I know from the horses mouth that Golden disliked him, Right was on the way to cutting him off...and we'll see about Manny.
