Everyone’s going to have their own theories about what answer I’m eventually going to come up with, and who better to capitalize on that media market than you yourselves?

Am I right when I think that 'who better to... than...?' construction works only as a question?

Thanks.
 
Yes. You'll sometimes see it written without a question mark; it is sometimes uttered, in the introduction of somebody, without normal question intonation, but it is technically a question - always.
