Peter Guber’s Mandalay Entertainment Group is expanding its presence in sports entertainment. Film and television producer/director Mike Tollin has partnered with Mandalay’s chairman and CEO Guber and vice chairman and COO Paul Schaeffer to form Mandalay Sports Media. Like Guber’s other companies, MSM is self-financed. It will develop and produce sports-themed entertainment programming for distribution across multiple platforms including film, television, mobile, and digital. MSM already has several entertainment projects in development with ESPN, Turner Sports, New Line Cinema, and Incognito Pictures, among other distribution partners. While creating content and intellectual property is key, “building enterprise value” is equally important, said Guber. Also joining MSM as a founding partner is CAA Sports, while Funny Or Die president and CEO Dick Glover, who has an extensive sports media background, including a seven-year stint at ESPN, will serve as a board member.
