Ari Emanuel's WME- IMG Merger: The Possible Financial Troubles. When Ari Emanuel, the 5. C. E. O. Generally seen as the inspiration for Ari Gold, the crass, overbearing talent agent played by Jeremy Piven on the HBO series Entourage, Emanuel is known for in- your- face tactics that are extreme even by Hollywood standards. CBS president and C. E. O. Les Moonves, who describes himself as “definitely a fan” of Emanuel's, says, “He is relentless to the point of .

I will tell you when I'm ready,’ you know. Are we close? Are we lukewarm? What's the situation?’ ”For many years Emanuel's most enduring obsession was to combine his talent agency, whose clients include movie and television stars such as Ben Affleck, James Franco, and Oprah Winfrey, with IMG, the sports- entertainment- and- marketing giant that has worked with such elite athletes as Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, Pete Sampras, and Martina Navratilova. Emanuel's quest to own IMG began in earnest in the summer of 2. Teddy Forstmann at the fashionable (now defunct) Midtown Manhattan restaurant Davidburke & Donatella, according to a former Forstmann partner. The two men discussed how Forstmann's firm, Forstmann Little & Company, might make an investment in Emanuel's agency, Endeavor, as it was called before it merged with William Morris. A term sheet was drawn up, but the deal went nowhere.

Forstmann—himself a larger- than- life character, just as passionate and mercurial as Emanuel—also nursed an obsession to own IMG, which was then still controlled by its founder, Mark Mc. Cormack. An amateur golf player, Mc.

Cormack had begun the firm to help his friend Arnold Palmer and other professional athletes earn extra money by endorsing products and adding their star power to corporate marketing campaigns. Forstmann thought IMG was amateurishly run but full of potential. He wanted to take the last $2. None of these people knew what the other guy did. During Forstmann's negotiations with Mc.

Cormack's estate, Forstmann and Emanuel kept talking, and before Forstmann closed the deal, for $7. November 2. 00. 4, the two men considered the possibility of IMG's also acquiring Endeavor, with Emanuel running the combined company. When that did not come to pass either, an incredulous Emanuel is said by a Forstmann insider to have proclaimed that the merger would be happening and that he was, in fact, going to be the C. E. O. Such exuberance left Forstmann nonplussed and a bit miffed. Over the next decade Forstmann transformed IMG into an international production- and- packaging powerhouse. The expanding business cut profitable deals with more than 2. American college and university sports teams, as well as with Indian Premier League cricket, Wimbledon, the Australian and U.

S. Open tennis tournaments, tennis tournaments in Spain and Malaysia, and Barclays Premier League soccer. It ran Fashion Week in New York, Milan, and London, and in China it formed an exclusive joint venture with the national television network to create sports programming—all this in addition to representing such sports stars as Novak Djokovic, Maria Sharapova, and Venus Williams. It also signed up an array of fashion designers and models, including Michael Kors, Diane von Furstenberg, Gisele B. According to a June 2. The New York Times, he had been “spending time” with Forstmann in Los Angeles “on the golf course and off,” and speculation heated up again that somehow IMG and WME would be combined. But Emanuel still could not crack Forstmann. Explains Irving Azoff, a longtime media executive and former IMG board member, “When Ari started befriending Teddy, Teddy said, .

I could give them each $5. I don't think he ever saw Ari as the grand wizard.”In addition, Forstmann had little taste for Emanuel's specialty—representing talent—where fees are generated for negotiating television, movie, music, and book deals on behalf of clients.

Forstmann supposedly told Emanuel, “You are in the barbershop business. The only way you grow your revenues is you get another barber to work for you, and he cuts 1.

One longtime associate of Forstmann's claims he would never have sold IMG to Emanuel: “He once told me the only good thing that Ari ever gave him was advice about his love life.”“YOU ARE IN THE BARBERSHOP BUSINESS,” FORSTMANN TOLD EMANUEL. IS YOU GET ANOTHER BARBER.”Ironically, just as had been the case with Mc. Cormack, a sudden deterioration in Forstmann's health changed the calculus.

In early 2. 01. 1, not feeling well, he went to the Mayo Clinic, where he was diagnosed with glioblastoma, the same virulent form of brain cancer that killed Teddy Kennedy. Soon sharks were circling, figuring correctly that when Forstmann died the company would again be for sale. Terry Semel, the longtime head of Warner Bros., had earlier tried to buy it. Then, as I wrote in the January 2. Vanity Fair, onetime Creative Artists Agency (CAA) head Michael Ovitz—a friend Forstmann had tried to help out during a difficult career period by putting him on the IMG board—allegedly tried to organize a coup. But when Forstmann found out about it Ovitz and three of his supporters were tossed off the board.

Emanuel came calling again, too. But Forstmann again declined to sell. Not until May 2. 01. Forstmann had died, did Emanuel prevail at last in his quest to own IMG, with an all- cash $2. But as Truman Capote liked to say, quoting St.

Teresa of Avila, “More tears are shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.”Entourage Emanuel. Emanuel comes by his ferocious tenacity honestly. As a child he was the black sheep in an illustrious family of over- achievers. His brother Rahm would become President Obama's first chief of staff and is now the mayor of Chicago. His other brother, Zeke, is a Harvard- educated oncologist, author, bioethicist, and former White House health- policy adviser. As a child Ari was dyslexic and suffered from attention- deficit hyperactivity disorder. He fought frequently with classmates who teased him.

When he was in high school, his parents put him in therapy for a year and sent him to a special reading teacher for an hour and a half each day after school. Sitting at her dining- room table, he would cry as he tried to read, but ultimately he concluded from the experience that “nothing is too daunting.”One of Emanuel's first jobs was to work for the New York talent agent Robbie Lantz, who had an astonishing stable of important clients, from Bette Davis to James Baldwin to William Rehnquist. My literary agent, Joy Harris, who then worked for Lantz and now runs her own literary agency, recalls Emanuel as “cocky, ambitious, and arrogant. Oh my God, this kid, you wanted to pinch him on one cheek and slap him on the other.” He was there for less than a year. That same year, after being hit by a car and ending up facedown on Wilshire Boulevard with broken ribs and a torn A. C. L., Emanuel had an epiphany: “Take advantage of each day that's given to you, and do something to move the needle on your business, even if it's just an inch.

You've heard it before, but life is not a dress rehearsal. Don't waste your time (or mine).”“I HEAR THERE'S A LOT OF UNHAPPINESS,” SAYS AN OBSERVER.

Big ones.” Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell—an affable, even- tempered midwesterner, whom everyone in Hollywood describes as Emanuel's polar opposite—agreed to buy the venerable William Morris agency.
