BREAKING: Toronto Maple Leafs Have Been Sold For An Insane Amount
There are reports circulating that the Toronto Maple Leafs, an iconic franchise in the sporting world, is on the brink of a significant change in ownership structure.
Tanenbaum's Stakes on Sale
Larry Tanenbaum, the Chairman of MLSE, is reportedly close to selling his share in the company. Sportico, a reputable sports news outlet, claims that the estimated enterprise value of this transaction is a whopping $8B.
Tanenbaum has control over a 25% stake in the Maple Leafs through MLSE via Kilmer Sports, alongside stakes in several other sports franchises based in Toronto. These include NBA's Toronto Raptors, Toronto FC of MLS, and the CFL's Toronto Argonauts.

OMERS to Take Over MLSE Shares
The potential buyer for Tanenbaum's stake is none other than the Canadian Pension fund OMERS. If this sale gets the final nod of approval, it will effectively pass the reins of MLSE, and hence the Maple Leafs, to OMERS.
According to Sportico, the transaction reflects an unprecedented value for a sports franchise.
It remains ambiguous whether Tanenbaum's stake in full is up for sale. Regardless, this move marks a significant turning point, as the Leafs could be seeing a major change in ownership.
