Fast Tracks and Dark Deals

How Sport Became Business and Business Became Sport

A powerful and unapologetic autobiography from one of the few surviving insiders, “Fast Tracks and Dark Deals” is a surgical dissection of the business of sport and its evolution over the past fifty years from a cottage industry to a trillion-dollar business.
Fast-paced and edgy, it profiles the characters and events that gave birth to the sports biz. Along the way, readers encounter dazzling highs and sobering lows, as wars, scandals, and economic crises threaten to pull the whole spectacle apart.

The story is told from a seat close enough to hear the whispers in the corridor yet distant enough to see the broader patterns – the fragile alliances, the unexpected friendships, and the bold ideas that reshaped global sport.
“Fast Tracks and Dark Deals” offers unique business insights from someone who was a major player in many of them, who knew everyone and has been everywhere in the labyrinth of world sport, even its dark corners.
The final part provides a telling and perhaps unsettling prediction for the next fifty years.

Generative AI: Why Sports Media is Playing Catch-Up with a Transformational Opportunity

While artificial intelligence has been backed to transform a diverse array of sectors, from healthcare to education, it is widely acknowledged that many sports media entities have been stuck in first gear on their generative AI journeys.

However, seismic changes appear to be inevitable in the sports consumption space.

Spanning media rights, sponsorship, content creation, translations, distribution and more, the potential impact of the technology on fan-facing entities is unprecedented.

According to Peter Leeb, Vice President of Commercial at Veritone, a leading enterprise AI software, applications, and services provider, there is a huge opportunity to accelerate hyper-personalisation at the heart of the fan experience.

“The lag [in adopting generative AI] was rooted in data complexity,” explains Leeb, who highlights personalised highlights reels and real-time content generation as just two examples.

“Without a system to automatically read and enforce rights metadata, using AI was too risky. Additionally, the ROI was unclear because you can't value what you can't measure. An unstructured archive is an expense on a balance sheet.”

Solving data challenges
With the roadblocks being broken down gradually, change is afoot.

More platforms can now ingest content and automatically associate it with specific governance and compliance metadata. Put simply, this means there is clarity on who can use it, in what region, and for how long.

Once the media becomes structured – and underpinned by labelled data – enterprises can analyse its usage and demonstrate its ROI.

Furthermore, while most organisations do not treat media as data, building a catalogue and not just a library unlocks opportunities to train custom AI models and create unique experiences in a governed tech stack.

“Data is transforming from a liability to an asset on a balance sheet,” says Leeb.

The importance of data infrastructure
With foundational data infrastructures increasingly adopted across the industry, there is an expectation that interest in researching, testing and investing in generative AI technology will grow exponentially in sports media.

However, the task of building such data infrastructure remains a major challenge, Leeb says, with data governance, compliance and integration all vital components.

Leeb will outline the challenges and opportunities at the heart of the space as part of a SPORTEL Monaco panel session entitled ‘Generative AI Redefining the Sports Industry’ – and he is convinced there are immense opportunities on the horizon.

Specifically, he cites advancements in fusing multiple, real-time data streams as a key driver for the continued growth and adoption of generative AI in sports media.

“I’m excited by the development of truly interactive broadcasts,” he says.

“This future is entirely dependent on real-time, highly granular data. The ability for a fan to ask, ‘show me that last play from the quarterback's perspective,’ requires AI to instantly process and sync multiple data streams: positional data from player-worn sensors, multiple camera angle feeds, and the official play-by-play data log.”

Fuelling storytelling
Generative AI will also be a key tool in developing a compelling, data-driven narrative around the action on the field, court or track – helping to retain the engagement of fans and attract new enthusiasts.

“With predictive and prescriptive storytelling, we’re moving beyond just summarising what happened,” Leeb says.

“The next step is for AI to analyse structured data – like win probability shifts, historical performance data, and even player biometric data – to identify a ‘narrative arc’ as it emerges. It can then automatically create content that tells that story, transforming raw data into emotionally resonant narratives in real time.”

Sports media may have moved slowly in the space until now. However, it is clear that generative AI is carving out new opportunities that organisations can now ill afford to ignore.

Reshaping the Ecosystem: Seeking Scalability and Innovation in a New Era of Sports Investments

The transformation of the sports M&A landscape over recent years has raised the stakes in the battle for investment.

At the top end, the average value of NFL franchises has more than doubled since 2021 to $7.1bn, according to Forbes. However, countless clubs, competitions and commercial entities face a fight to future-proof their financial futures while private, public and state-backed investors explore an array of unprecedented opportunities.

“The global sports investment landscape is evolving at pace, and in my view, we’re entering one of the most dynamic and opportunity-rich periods the industry has ever seen,” says Danny Townsend, Chief Executive Officer at SURJ Sports Investment, Saudi Arabia’s leading sports investment company.

“Investor interest is no longer just about rights acquisition or team ownership; it’s about reshaping the ecosystem, from media and fan engagement to technology, data and event formats.”

Core drivers for investment
It has certainly been a busy year for SURJ, with investments in DAZN, football’s Kings League and the Professional Triathletes Organisation demonstrating the variety of investment opportunities on the table.

“Each of our investments reflects a different dimension of our strategy, but they’re all underpinned by the same core drivers: scalability, innovation and audience growth,” Townsend explains.

“These aren’t just financial plays but rather strategic investments that align with our wider goals: building the regional sports economy, empowering young talent, and bringing world-class experiences to fans across Saudi Arabia and beyond.

“Our pipeline remains strong. We’re continuing to assess opportunities across team ownership, leagues, digital platforms, and IP-led event properties, with a focus on assets that offer long-term global growth potential and strategic alignment with Saudi’s vision for sport.”

Deep due diligence
In an “incredibly competitive, global space”, Townsend acknowledges that many of the deals pursued by SURJ have taken longer than anticipated to conclude.

“Our ambition from day one has been to be selective, long-term and strategic in how we deploy capital, but that takes time,” says Townsend, who will participate in a SPORTEL Monaco panel session entitled ‘Investment in Sport: Where is the Next $1bn Coming From?’

“Whether you're dealing with complex rights structures, shared ownership models, or legacy governance frameworks, many of the most interesting assets require deep due diligence and thoughtful structuring. We’re not just looking to take a stake; we want to create value and be additive to the ecosystem.

“Another lesson has been around narrative alignment – making sure that our partners understand not just the ‘what’, but the ‘why’ behind SURJ. We’re not a typical investor. We bring a long-term vision, a national mandate, and a platform that can help accelerate global growth. That’s powerful, but it also means we often need to spend time building trust and aligning on ambition.”

Impact of fragmentation
Furthermore, the broader evolution of sports industry economics – particularly in relation to media rights-fees and fragmentation – has also affected the sports investment landscape.

“We’re at a point now where the traditional model of linear broadcasting and bundled rights is being fundamentally reimagined. That creates disruption, but also a lot of opportunity,” Townsend adds.

“From an investment perspective, this means we’re looking closely at properties with direct-to-consumer potential, strong IP and global fan engagement models that go beyond just matchday or live broadcast. It also puts a premium on organisations that understand data, content and how to build audiences in a more fluid, digital-first environment.”

Major shifts
Townsend highlights three significant shifts at the heart of the space.

The convergence of media and sport is accelerating – and not just through traditional broadcasting, but also via OTT platforms, creators and digital-native leagues. There is also a growing focus on global scalability and audience diversification, with formats that can travel and engage younger fans. However, and perhaps most importantly of all, investors are becoming more disciplined.

“There’s a clear pivot toward sustainable, long-term plays with the infrastructure and IP to grow globally,” he adds. “At SURJ, we’ve designed our investment approach around these very dynamics. We’re not chasing short-term hype; we’re backing bold ideas that have the potential to reshape the future of sport.”

Asking tougher questions
Looking ahead, Townsend says that “the headline-grabbing deal frenzy of the past few years is giving way to a more measured phase”, with investors asking tougher questions about financial fundamentals, scalability and long-term value creation.

“For rights holders and properties, the key challenge will be moving beyond vanity metrics and demonstrating tangible return on engagement,” he adds.
“A lot of organisations are still operating with outdated commercial models, legacy cost structures or ambitions that are out of step with market realities. That’s especially true for some clubs and leagues running at persistent losses without a clear path to profitability.

“But it’s not all caution. There are significant opportunities as well. For investors, the upside lies in backing properties that are digital-native, globally minded, and diversified in revenue streams. Women’s sport, underserved fan segments, emerging markets and tech-enabled formats will continue to offer compelling growth stories.”

LFP Media Breaks New Ground with Ligue 1+ OTT Launch and a Push for Personalisation

The recent launch of the Ligue 1+ direct-to-consumer OTT service has given France’s Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) a unique position among Europe’s major leagues.

As the first of the continent’s ‘Big Five’ to start showing its games domestically on its own platform, the LFP’s strategic move is being watched closely by sports properties across Europe, and beyond.
So far, results have exceeded expectations.

With a promotional offer and discounts for under-26 year olds complementing a competitive standard price of €14.99 per month, the sign-up target for the 2025-26 season – one million subscribers – was surpassed within one month.
Meanwhile, from a technical perspective, the launch has been relatively smooth, with Cyprien Castanedo, Head of Media Platform and Innovation at LFP Media, highlighting the support of OTT specialist Endeavor Streaming and production partner Mediawan.

Striking the right balance
“It was a real challenge to launch the platform so quickly, but the whole team was 100% behind the project,” Castanedo says.
“It was a good balance between our understanding of the project and the expertise of our partners. Endeavor Streaming has done a fantastic job with developing a stable platform so there have not been any major issues on the streams, and Mediawan have played a crucial role too, while it’s important to acknowledge the quality of every single distributor.

“It was a real achievement to coordinate all the pieces of the puzzle.”

The LFP had already worked with Endeavor Streaming on developing a D2C OTT platform for international markets, beginning with a technical test in Iceland before launching in the UK and Ireland ahead of last season. Such familiarity inevitably helped to expedite the development of the domestic platform in an accelerated timeframe.
“That existing relationship was really important,” Castanedo says. “It made a lot of sense to go with them domestically.”

A focus on personalisation
After navigating the lightning-quick launch, with approximately 10 weeks between the initial discussions and going live, Castanedo is now focusing on the next phase of the groundbreaking project.
With this in mind, the topic of Castanedo’s panel session at SPORTEL Monaco – ‘New Live Sports Tech for Tailored Fan Experiences & Personalisation’ – is particularly pertinent.

“The whole gist of the project was to first design a channel that in itself was personalised for Ligue 1 fans,” he explains.
“In the core of the channel, our whole motto was that it needed to be for the fans.”

Building a narrative
This mantra is reflected by the behind-the-scenes content available through the platform.

“We have a collaborative approach with the clubs, who are opening their doors for the platform,” Castanedo adds.
“A lot of clubs see the value in doing that as it builds a narrative, and if you’re a Ligue 1 fan, you can access personalised content from your club.
“Obviously, because of the short length of time before the launch, ensuring the platform was stable was the ‘must have’. But now we are trying to be a bit more customised in the original content we are pushing on the platform.”


A partnership with LiveLike – a provider of tailored, interactive experiences – is bringing on-demand features like statistics and fan polls to the platform. Additionally, expert feeds, fuelled by Genius Sports/Second Spectrum tracking data, offer insights such as shot speeds on-demand during big games.
“It is where I see the platform evolving,” Castanedo says.
“Personalising the user experience while they are watching the game is an obvious step.”

Engagement ideas
Furthermore, several potential ideas are under consideration.
By building ever-closer collaborations with clubs, there may be future opportunities to incorporate ticketing and merchandising options into the platform.
“Getting more integration with the clubs will be key to the product,” Castanedo says.
Viewers may also be given the ability to clip coverage, so they can jump forward or back to a particular incident or get a quick summary of what they have missed.
Integrating fantasy sports content is another “interesting opportunity”, Castanedo says, with the LFP having acquired popular fantasy football game Mon Petit Gazon three years ago.
Meanwhile, content dedicated to children and younger viewers is in the pipeline, and augmented reality graphics may also be integrated in the future through the provision of tracking data – either in live coverage or shoulder programming, or both.

Prioritising the viewing experience
As Castanedo explains, though, “not everything will come soon”, with enhancements gradually tested out to ensure they genuinely enhance the viewing experience, and are well received as a result.
“We have a lot of time to put new innovations in place in the coming months and years,” he says, adding that certain games will be selected to test out different technological innovations.
“On the technical side, we will not propose something unless it’s 100% stable for the platform, and we will also continue to gather user feedback in an ongoing discussion with the fans. This is only the beginning.”

Embrace a Natural Environment for Networking at SPORTEL Monaco

SPORTEL Monaco’s reputation as a hub of unparalleled networking opportunities is built on relationships that have been forged inside the Grimaldi Forum over the years.
From the moment delegates enter the striking glass and steel venue, they have an unmissable chance to make and strengthen game-changing connections – while those outside risk missing out on the conversations shaping the sector’s future.
“SPORTEL has always been about creating an environment where business happens naturally,” says Loris Menoni, Executive Director of SPORTEL Monaco.
“The real value is in being inside the event, surrounded by the global sports business community.”

Unique opportunities to meet
From the brand-new Sports Bar to the bustling exhibition floor and the returning Women’s Lunch, SPORTEL Monaco’s 2025 delegates have a unique opportunity to meet the sports industry’s leading decision-makers in social and formal settings.
Indeed, by using the SPORTEL Connect networking tool, which gives participants the power to reach out directly to other registered attendees, executives typically line up more than 50 meetings over the packed three-day schedule.
“What makes the event so effective is the balance between structured opportunities and organic encounters,” Menoni adds. “The dedicated meeting areas and the SPORTEL Connect platform mean you can plan your schedule in advance, but there’s also tremendous value in the unexpected meetings that happen in the corridors, networking lounges, or on the show floor itself.
“By being in the heart of the tradeshow, you significantly increase your chances of connecting with the right people. And with half of our attendees being C-level executives, the quality of those interactions is extremely high.”

Dedicated to the business of sport Unlike many other trade gatherings, SPORTEL Monaco is dedicated to the business of sport.
That focus is reflected not only in the calibre of executives and enterprises in attendance. The conference sessions cover a range of pertinent topics, with generative AI, innovative streaming solutions and new investment opportunities among the items on this year’s agenda.
The value delivered by the vital connections, deal-making opportunities and industry insights ensures the majority of businesses that attend SPORTEL Monaco return to the stunning seafront location year after year.

Face-to-face exchanges
However, the 2025 event will also attract hundreds of new attendees who are keen to get to the heart of the global sports business ecosystem, rather than being on the outside looking in.
“Executives should come prepared with a clear plan – know who you want to meet, and use the SPORTEL Connect platform to arrange meetings in advance,” Menoni adds. “But it’s just as important to stay open to the unexpected business opportunities that arise when you’re immersed in the event.
“Ultimately, SPORTEL is about people; those spontaneous face-to-face exchanges are where trust is built and partnerships begin. Be present and visible within the tradeshow itself: that’s what maximises your networking opportunities and ensures you make the most of SPORTEL’s unique environment.”
