Apollo, Ares eye bigger role backing sports leagues, teams
Find out what's new on ST website and app. Apollo has already signed a number of sports deals through existing pools of capital, including issuing loans to football teams such as Nottingham Forest. NEW YORK – Apollo Global Management Inc. and Ares Management Corp. are both pushing deeper into sports investing, the latest multibillion-dollar alternative asset managers to put more money into the booming sector. Ares has begun talking to investors about a new media and entertainment fund designed for individuals, a departure from the traditionally exclusive nature of sports finance. The semi-liquid fund will target both debt and equity investments across sports leagues and businesses. Meanwhile, Apollo is considering creating a permanent capital vehicle dedicated to sports finance, a structure that would allow for longer-term and strategic investments in the industry. The fund would primarily lend to professional sports teams and leagues, with the option to take equity positions. Alts managers like Ares and Apollo have been pouncing on opportunities to invest in sports teams, boosted by the National Football League's landmark decision last year to allow private equity firms to own teams. In May, Bloomberg reported that a group of professional sports team insiders, including billionaire Dallas Mavericks minority owner Mark Cuban, were launching a private equity fund aimed at taking small stakes in pro sports teams. Arctos Partners, CVC Capital Partners and Ares have also been investing in leagues and teams, while Elliott Management Corp. and Oaktree Capital Management took ownership of football clubs after owners defaulted on their loans. The Ares fund will align with its push to reach individual investors and came in response to growing demand from financial advisers seeking to expose their retail clients to the asset class. Ares aims to capture US$100 billion in assets from individual investors by 2028, an area that makes up 8% of its US$546 billion asset base. If successful, the initiative could generate an estimated US$600 million in management fees, it said. Los Angeles-based Ares has also been ramping up its investments in sports, buying stakes in the NFL's Miami Dolphins and other teams and closing its first fund dedicated to the strategy in 2022 with US$3.7 billion. Meanwhile, New York-based Apollo has already signed a number of sports deals through existing pools of capital, including issuing loans to football teams such as Sporting Lisbon and Nottingham Forest. 'While sports teams, clubs and leagues often draw much of the attention, we believe the broader potential ecosystem of sports, media and entertainment investing is significant and underpenetrated,' Ares has said on its website. The firm has estimated the total investment opportunity in 'adjacent strategies' could be as much as US$2.5 trillion. BLOOMBERG

'TRON: Ares' Unleashes AI Into the Real World in Trailer Reveal
Summary Disneyhas just unveiled the trailer forTron: Aresgiving fans the first full look at the third chapter in Disney's iconicTRONfranchise — and it's unlike anything we've seen from the series so far. Set to hit theatres on October 10, 2025, this new installment doesn't just return to the digital world. It brings it crashing into ours. Instead of humans entering the Grid like in previous films,Tron: Aresflips the formula. StarringJared Letoas a powerful program named Ares sent from the digital world into the real one. Described as 'biblically strong, lightning fast, supremely intelligent,' Ares is a weaponized AI created by tech mogul Julian Dillinger played byEvan Peters. The trailer frames the conflict as technology versus nature, with Dillinger coldly stating, 'If he's destroyed, I'll just remake him,' highlighting the dangerous ease with which artificial intelligence can be treated as disposable. The trailer wastes no time diving into the chaos. It's a high-stakes collision of digital power and human vulnerability, arriving at a time when conversations around AI feel more real than ever. The cast is stacked. Alongside Leto and Peters, the film starsGreta Lee,Gillian Anderson,Hasan Minhaj,Jodie Turner-Smith,Cameron Monaghan, Arturo Castro, and a returningJeff Bridgesas Kevin Flynn. While Bridges' role seems smaller this time around, his presence ties the past to this new evolution. Visually, it's exactly what fans hoped for — a neon-soaked spectacle that pushes theTRONaesthetic even further. From slick armor to hyper-stylized action, director Joachim Rønning is clearly honoring the franchise's legacy while updating it for 2025's expectations. Following the legendary scores byDaft Punkin their last filmTron: Legacy, the upcoming film tapsNine Inch Nailsfor the soundtrack. The trailer features the debut of their new single, 'As Alive as You Need Me to Be,' setting a gritty, unworldly tone that fits perfectly within theTRONuniverse. The full score arrives September 19, 2025, ahead of the film's release. With a flipped premise, a heavy-hitting cast, and a sound that demands your attention,Tron: Aresis shaping up to be more than a sequel — it's a statement. And if this trailer is anything to go by, we're in for a wild, wired ride. Check out the trailer above.
