'''Abner Doubledeal''' is a businessman who generally invests his money in sporting ventures. Doubledeal is first seen as the owner of the [[Ultimate Robot Fighting]] League, about a year later he had sold the league and bought the [[New New York Mets]] [[blernsball]] team. His method of recruiting for both was similar, observing potential competitors in their natural environments; [[Bender Bending Rodríguez|Bender]] was recruited as a fighter after being spotted in a movie theatre and [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] joined the Mets after pitching for the Planet Express team in the park.

It was announced that Doubledeal would return in a [[season 6]] episode, according to [[David X. Cohen]] in a June, 2011 interview.<ref name="Cohen">{{cite web |url=http://www.ugo.com/tv/futurama-david-x-cohen-interview-1?cmpid=rss-tv |title=Futurama's David X.

At the end of the episode, he adopted all of the orphans at the [[Cookieville Minimum-Security Orphanarium]] to employ them for the production of the reality show version of Leela's show.
