Back on Sept. 9, 2012, Forbes has this article about AEG:

It's not a very flattering article and probably drew some lines in the sand as far as who believes what. 
I keep remembering all those post June 25th interviews with Kenny and Randy P. about how great Michael
was doing and how ready he was for everything.  They need a freaking Oscar award for their performances.......
if Michael was ill.  I do not believe he was. 
What a tangled web that's been woven...

Colony Capital, Guggenheim Partners Potential AEG Bidders

By Ethan Smith and Anupreeta Das

A day after Anschutz Entertainment Group said it was for sale, some potential bidders raised their hands—publicly or privately—even as AEG’s representatives said the company’s bankers hadn’t yet sent out financial documents or non-disclosure agreements to interested parties.

Among the parties considering making bids, according to people familiar with the matter, are real-estate group Colony Capital LLC and investment firm Guggenheim Partners LLC. A representative of Patrick Soon-Shiong, a biotech billionaire who bid for the Los Angeles Dodgers earlier this year but eventually pulled out, told the Los Angeles Times that Dr. Soon-Shiong was “interested” in making a bid.

A spokeswoman for his company, NantWorks LLC, didn’t respond to a request for comment.

With the sale process still in early stages, it was difficult to know how far apart AEG parent Anschutz Co. could be from potential bidders.

Anschutz is seeking bids starting at around $7 billion, according to people familiar with the matter, while one potential bidder was likely to offer $3 billion to $5 billion, according to another person familiar with the matter. Closely held Anschutz, controlled by 72-year-old Denver billionaire Philip Anschutz, could cancel the sale if it doesn’t get an acceptable price.

Colony, a real-estate investment firm based in the Los Angeles area, could seek to form a partnership for its bid, according to a person familiar with the matter. Colony’s previous entertainment acquisitions include independent film studio Miramax, which a group led by Colony bought from Walt Disney Co DIS -0.04%. in 2010 for around $660 million.

AEG’s size, scope and value dwarf those of Miramax.

Guggenheim, the investment firm, is part of a group that recently bought Dick Clark Productions. Its chief executive, Mark Walter, is part of the group that recently bought the Dodgers.

AEG owns dozens of sports and entertainment venues, including the O2 arena in London and Staples Center in Los Angeles. It also has a 30% share of the L.A. Lakers NBA franchise and controls the NHL’s L.A. King’s and professional soccer’s L.A. Galaxy.

The company’s concert-promotion arm, AEG Live, runs the hugely successful Coachella music festival and was preparing to stage Michael Jackson’s comeback tour when the pop star died in 2009.

Vincent Bonsignore: Anschutz exit isn't end of hopes for Farmers Field or NFL in Los Angeles

By Vincent Bonsignore Staff Columnist
Posted:   09/19/2012 06:55:07 PM PDT

Surprised that Phil Anschutz is selling his AEG sports and entertainment empire?

I'm not.

And if you are a fan of AEG's Farmers Field project and the potential of the NFL returning to downtown Los Angeles, Anschutz's announcement Tuesday is actually good news.

But more on that later.

Not long ago I got a text from a high-ranking official in the National Football League saying he heard Anschutz was running out of patience with the process of bringing an NFL team here to play at Farmers Field.

Essentially, the text explained, Anschutz might want out.

"Will keep my ear to the ground and let you know if I hear anything," the text concluded.

Nothing ever came of it, and after making the necessary calls I was assured that Anschutz was still all in and that AEG's Tim Leiweke, who is spearheading the Farmers Field project, was excited about soon gaining full clearance to begin construction and initiating the process of bringing a team to Los Angeles.

In fact, the NFL official subsequently texted again to say, based on conversations with other league figures, the belief is football will be back in Los Angeles relatively soon.

Then came word Tuesday that Anschutz is selling AEG, which includes Staples Center, the NHL champion Kings, pro soccer's Galaxy, part ownership of the Lakers, and major entertainment and real estate holdings in downtown Los Angeles.

And of course, the privately funded $1.3
billion Farmers Field project.

Just like that, it seemed the NFL returning to downtown L.A. was doomed.

The reality is, this is a good thing for Farmers Field.

Better to find out now, rather than later, Anschutz wasn't fully prepared to emotionally and financially march down the aisle with the NFL.

Better he hand AEG over to someone more local, more energetic and passionate about adding onto the downtown L.A. sports and entertainment kingdom he helped create more than a decade ago - someone like Patrick Soon-Shiong, the richest man in Los Angeles and a rabid sports fan already being mentioned as a potential buyer.

This is all about timing.

It's well-established Farmers Field is primarily a Leiweke dream, with the reclusive, Denver-based Anschutz promising his financial support but always a bit skeptical.

It's also no secret the 73-year-old Anschutz isn't keen on making a long-term commitment to owning all or part of the team moving to Los Angeles, a key and necessary aspect relative to the NFL.

Anschutz is a real estate guy, buying and developing land to eventually sell. The NFL is all about ownership consistency and stability. The relationship could have worked, but you get the idea Anschutz might have felt landlocked.

To the surprise of many, Leiweke has marched Farmers Field nearly the length of the field.

And with the project nearly ready to begin construction and the eager NFL ready for Anschutz to take the financial plunge, Anschutz started feeling like an anxious groom on wedding day, not sure he was OK with the commitment he was about to make.

So he thought long and hard and decided the time was right to hand off things to someone else.

And in the process, do right by Los Angeles.

How so?

By selling AEG to a locally based owner whose passion for Los Angeles sports supersedes his own.

Someone fully committed to seeing Farmers Field through while also being supportive of a long-term relationship with the NFL, an assurance the league needs before returning.

And finally, by stepping aside now, mere months before the NFL meets to potentially discuss a team moving here, a new AEG owner should be in place, fully vetted by the NFL and ready to hammer out a deal to bring football back to L.A.

"Someone the NFL is comfortable with, someone with the wherewithal to make this work and make this successful," Leiweke said. "This gives the NFL assurance, and that is critically important."

So while Anschutz stunned everyone with Tuesday's announcement and seemingly pulled the plug on Farmers Field, it's really just a logical next step in the process.

Especially when you consider how convinced the high-ranking NFL official is about pro football returning to Los Angeles, and the excitement in Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones' voice when he told me two weeks ago he was more optimistic than ever L.A. would soon have an NFL team.

Not to mention NFL commissioner Roger Goodell touting Farmers Field last week for the unique game-day experience it will provide while dismissing the notion it won't satisfy the tailgating hopes of L.A. football fans.

Goodell rarely speaks publicly about either of the two local stadium proposals - Farmers Field and Ed Roski Jr.'s City of Industry project - yet there he was practically gushing over the downtown stadium when he had to have an inkling Anschutz was getting antsy and contemplating a sale.

Why did Goodell seem so supportive of Farmers Field if he knew the money man was selling?

Because Goodell probably has a good idea who the new AEG head will be, and is comfortable that, with AEG's current Leiweke-led management team still in place, the process will move along accordingly once the sale is complete.

How fast will a deal go down?

Leiweke said Wednesday he fully expects the new owner to be in place by March when the NFL convenes to talk about a team potentially moving here, if not sooner. He also said the owner will be fully on board with Farmers Field.

By then, it is conceivable an existing team will have applied for relocation - Goodell recently issued a Jan. 1 to Feb. 15 deadline for clubs to express intent to move in time for the 2013 season - and that a deal will be in place in which the new owner buys part or all of the relocating team.

The most likely candidate is the San Diego Chargers, who have an annual escape window from Feb. 1 to April 30 in which they can buy out their lease at Qualcomm Stadium. The Chargers are struggling at the gate and have waged a decade-long battle to build a new local stadium, to no avail.

Meanwhile, the Rams face an end-of-year ruling by an arbitrator deciding how much it will cost St. Louis to bring the Edward Jones Dome up to necessary standards. If the stadium is not among the top quarter in the NFL by the end of 2014, the Rams can terminate their lease.

The point is two teams are in position to possibly move here by next year.

And with a new AEG owner in place and motivated to make Farmers Field happen, that makes Tuesday's announcement a good thing for Los Angeles.

Unlikely Dynasty
Monte Burke, 09.19.05

Robert Kraft has used business sense and a fan's blind faith to turn the once-laughable New England Patriots into one of the richest franchises in sports.
[...]
He wanted to own not only the team but also its stadium and all the surrounding land. He started by locking up purchase rights to 300 acres around the stadium in Foxboro, Mass. The Sullivan family, founding owners of the Patriots, owned the team and the stadium but not the surrounding land. In 1985 Kraft bought a ten-year option on the property, paying a group of Boston businessmen $1 million a year for first dibs to buy the land someday for $18 million. It was risky, but "the option gave me ten years to try to figure out how to get the team," he says.

In 1986 the Sullivan family put the team up for sale--but held on to the stadium. Kraft passed. "It just didn't feel right, but looking back, I should have bought the team then," he says now. "It was a much more reasonable price." The late Victor Kiam, owner of Remington shavers, picked up the Pats for $87 million. "It was frustrating," Kraft says.

But two years later he snagged the second piece of the puzzle--thanks to singer Michael Jackson. In 1988 Kraft and a partner put up $25 million to buy the Foxboro stadium from the Sullivan family, besting a $16 million offer from the Pats' owner, Kiam. (Kraft would buy out his 50-50 partner for a small premium five years later.) Charles Sullivan had used the stadium as collateral to fund the Jackson brothers' Victory Tour back in 1984. Overleveraged, Sullivan went bankrupt and was forced to sell the arena. To this day Kraft's collection of photos and mementos includes a poster from the ill-fated tour.

By the end of 1988 Kraft had rights to the land, and with the stadium he controlled $2 million a year from parking, concessions and signage. More important, the stadium held an operating covenant that required the Patriots to stay put until 2001. "Now I had 13 years to try to figure out how to get the team."

Putting a price on AEG Live's concert talent
The value of the entertainment division may lie in those who run it rather than ticket sales
By Randy Lewis and Alex Pham, Los Angeles Times
 
September 19, 2012, 6:29 p.m.

Billionaire Philip Anschutz's plan to sell off his AEG entertainment division raises a major question about the fate of the company's AEG Live subsidiary, the concert industry's No. 2 powerhouse.

The multifaceted AEG owns, operates and exclusively books dozens of venues across the country, controls stakes in the Los Angeles Lakers and Kings sports franchises and promotes hundreds of concerts and other live entertainment events each year. Industry veterans are speculating whether AEG will remain as a single entity under new ownership or be split into several pieces and be sold off.

Among AEG Live's most prized concert world components are Staples Center in Los Angeles, the O2 Arena in London and the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, of which it shares ownership with festival founder Paul Tollett.

Since AEG Live was launched about a dozen years ago, it has become the closest competitor to the concert business' leader, Live Nation. Last year, AEG Live sold 12.2 million tickets to events it produced and promoted worldwide, compared with 22 million tickets for Live Nation-sponsored shows, according to Pollstar, the live entertainment industry tracking publication.

Two Wall Street analysts, who declined to speak publicly, said it is difficult to put a price tag on privately held AEG Live.

But others said the value of the company's concert division has less to do with ticket sales or gross revenues than with the people who run it.

"You're buying their expertise and their relationships with all of the artists," Pollstar editor Gary Bongiovanni said. "If you bought Coachella and you don't have Paul Tollett, what do you really have? You bought the name but not the people who bring in the talent."

He also cited Brian Murphy, the head of AEG Live's West Coast office, who has close ties with Katy Perry. John Meglen and Paul Gongaware of AEG's Concerts West division worked with Celine Dion. Louis Messina, one of the nation's biggest country music promoters who formed a partnership with AEG Live, has handled tours for Taylor Swift and Kenny Chesney.

Chesney's summer stadium tour with fellow country star Tim McGraw sold more than 1 million tickets and grossed more than $96 million over 23 shows, making it the most popular and highest-grossing concert tour of the year, according to Pollstar figures.

"These people have very strong relationships with talent," Bongiovanni said. "The value of the company will depend on whether these people will stay."

AEG Live had about 650 employees and generated about $1 billion a year in ticket sales as of 2011, according to AEG Live president Randy Phillips, who on Wednesday declined to comment for this report. AEG President and Chief Executive Tim Leiweke also declined through a spokesman to comment beyond their statements in Tuesday's news release announcing the sale.

"We run this like a business," Phillips told The Times last year. "Even though AEG Live is a strategic play to protect AEG's venues, we need to make money as a stand-alone business."

AEG Live did turn a profit in 2010 and 2011, Phillips said, with last year being its most profitable year ever. He declined to state how much money the division made.

Even if AEG had disclosed its performance, its businesses are too tightly intertwined to easily separate the pieces, said John Tinker, an analyst at Maxim Group.

AEG Live can get a good rate for the venues it owns (take Staples, for example). Otherwise, concert promotions is a low-profit business, with margins averaging 1% to 4% of revenue, Tinker said.

"If you don't control the building, you're just another guy without an angle," Tinker said.

To AEG, however, the concerts business helps the company fill its stadiums and concert halls in between the sports matches of teams AEG owns or has a stake in.

"It's the whole package that's interesting. The concerts business by itself is not," Tinker said.

The prospective sale also raises questions about the future of AEG's individual components.

"I don't think it will have any impact on day-to-day business, unless a new owner comes in and starts selling pieces off," said a veteran concert promoter who has dealt with AEG and Live Nation who asked for anonymity. "Its business is fractured: it has sports arenas across the country [and] a lot of little businesses that somewhat complement each other, but I don't know if they're enmeshed.

"Coachella is a stand-alone," the promoter said. "But they've also got clubs at L.A. Live, they've got sports teams. I think someone will come in and buy the whole thing, but buy it for something they really want. Like [billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong]. He wants to be in the sports world and made a play at the Dodgers. He'd like to hang his signature on Staples and have the sports teams. But it's going to be hard for someone to step in and run the whole thing."

Earlier this year, Phillips spoke of modestly optimistic expectations for the concert business in 2012, projecting perhaps a 3% increase over 2011. He noted that AEG Live had begun rolling out AXS, a ticketing system of its own, devised as an alternative to Ticketmaster. The Access system is
being implemented gradually in arenas and other concert venues across the country.

Phillips also suggested that the public's appetite for music festivals has yet to be sated, and that after cloning Coachella across two weekends last year and seeing more demand than tickets available for its country cousin, Stagecoach, he envisioned that "there may be room for a couple of new festivals, if they're carefully vetted and the location is great."

Beyond Coachella and Stagecoach, AEG Live, which bills itself as "the largest producer of festivals in North America," oversees the staging of the Hootenanny roots-rock festival in Irvine; the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival; Bayou Country Super Fest in Baton Rouge, La.; Edgefest in Toronto; the Mile High Music Festival in Denver; and several others.

The company also produces Las Vegas residencies of entertainers including Celine Dion, Rod Stewart, Cher, Barry Manilow and Santana, and will produce forthcoming stands with Guns N' Roses, starting next month at the Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, and in December with Shania Twain at the Colosseum at Caesar's Palace.

Phillips came to AEG in 2000 to create AEG Live, after Leiweke and Anschutz bought Concerts West, a boutique concert touring company, and were looking to expand the business as a way to help fill otherwise vacant nights at the venues AEG owned or operated.

Phillips leveraged his relationships with Britney Spears, Toni Braxton and other performers to build AEG Live from the ground up.

Whereas Live Nation covered the entire spectrum of live concerts, AEG Live carved out its place in the fiercely competitive promotions business by cherry-picking performers who are most likely to bring in large audiences.

Phillips and Leiweke have been in the news recently as part of the ongoing investigation into the 2009 death of Michael Jackson, who had been rehearsing for a ballyhooed AEG-backed comeback engagement in London at the time of his death, which may have factored into Anschutz's decision to sell AEG.

E-mails between Leiweke and Phillips concerning Jackson's health and state of mind as the high-stakes engagement drew nearer have gone public recently and show that Jackson's condition was far worse than the AEG team had expressed immediately before and after the singer's death.

"My gut feeling when you look at someone like Anschutz: He is so private in his business, yet every time you open the paper lately AEG is in the headlines," the veteran concert promoter said. "He doesn't want his business in the papers. They're having problems with the NHL, there's the Michael Jackson thing.... He has to be thinking, 'Why bother?' I'm 80 years old. I'll just drill holes in North Dakota and pump stuff out for the rest of my life. Who needs this?' "

Okay - so that is odd about V V. Do you still think he/she is a troll? Is it coincidental that we are seeing this come up on that article? Does it really have any connection to Michael and/or the hoax?

On another matter - it would be easy for Kenny and Randy P to say that Michael was fine during the last days because he was :)  I think they changed their stories later and when BAM happens people will be left with the full truth mixed in with the fables. It's kind of like something I saw on a video where it was told in 2008 that Michael's finances were good that that he was in the middle of acquisitions which made his value look down. It actually said that within 5 years he'd be about 500 million in debt but it was only because of him and Sony buying more companies to add to Sony/ATV. What happened? His debt has been the crux of his woes according to tabloids yet it was foretold in 2008.

HIStory is being rewritten alright. Blessings to you :)

Well i don't know about you guys, but to me, this AEG sale announcement + this information above ^^ is proof enough that Michael might be behind the possible (immediate) future purchase of AEG by Colony Capital
"It's not a come back, it's a take over!" ---> "We're takin' over!"
To me, this info ^^ also restores my hope in the future BAM! I am now finally more confident again, after 2 months now, that all the circus around the Will, the estate, the AEG insurance , the Sony deal and everything...can only be part of the hoax-plan, even if I still can't understand what really is going on there! All is very complicated, very confusing and blurry! one can easily misunderstand things... sometimes I don't even try that hard to get it, because I feel we still miss "puzzle-pieces"!

@voiceforthesilent.........the whole V V thing...who knows.  But, the timing of the AEG sale is odd......such a random quote too.  It could have pure coincidence, I have no clue.  I think you are spot on with Kenny and Randy P.....their stories have been all over the place, and will mostly likely change again, lol. 
We will no doubt see a myriad of stories....truths and falsehoods.  HIStory in the making for sure!!!!! 

@Sim......just wow is about all I can say , lol.......I am smiling ear to ear right now :)
I thought Blackstone had something to do with Neverland.....the name Blackstone just stuck. 
Yep Yep Yep!!!!! 
The BAAM was on Blackstone's website, under "Our Businesses"...this page:

Just throwing this question out there:  If AEG is sold, what happens to any litigation against them? Just curious.  :smiley_abuv:
