The result is obtained for the massive gravity theory which is free from the Boulware-Deser ghost, as well as for its extension with two dynamical metrics. These results may indicate that static black holes in massive gravity do not exist. For the graviton mass of the order of the Hubble scale, however, the instability timescale is of order of the Hubble time. %R 10.1088/0264-9381/30/15/152001 %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1304.5992 %U https://doi.org/10.1088/0264-9381/30/15/152001 %P 152001-7pp
