Saddlebrook's Future

Lagardère Unlimited is negotiating to buy a part of the Saddlebrook Resort’s professional sports academy in tandem with advanced talks to buy sports agency BEST.

The two acquisitions would catapult the French company into the U.S. sports agency space and, with the company’s deep pockets, would likely make it a top player along with CAA, Octagon, Wasserman Media Group and IMG.
