And more from Friedman about how they've helped out guys trying to keep their $$s.
Interesting merger. Will be interesting to see if/how other agencies (Octagon, Newport, etc) respond.
Was surprised to hear last week that Mitch Garber and Lino Saputo, Jr. leapt into the hockey world by financing the merger of two player agencies, MFive Sports and Quartexx. That’s some hefty financial muscle. Canadian Business estimated the net worth of the Saputo family at more than $6 Billion. Lino Jr. is CEO of the dairy empire. I’ve met Garber a few times. He’s now chairman of Cirque de Soleil and CEO of Caesar’s Acquisition Company. That group just sold the online casino-style games portal Playtika for $4.4 Billion. “Lino and I went to school together, our kids went to school together. We both love hockey and and our boys love hockey,” Garber said. “I’m friendly with a lot of former hockey players…I don’t want to say their names, but I’m 52, so you know who they are…They are in need. Sadly they just missed the (big-money) era.”
