Story Highlights

Carlos Silva has been named president of Anthem Sports Group, overseeing growth, development, and distribution of popular Anthem properties, including the iconic TNA Wrestling promotion, trailblazing all-female MMA organization Invicta Fighting Championships, and global streaming-media channel Fight Network. In this role, he will report directly to Anthem President/CEO Leonard Asper.

Anthem Sports Group's Carlos Silva: This is going to be an exciting new era, and I could not be more excited to lead this talented team.

Noting Silva's addition to the team, Asper cites his wealth of knowledge and experience in sports and television: Throughout his career, he has overseen tremendous growth for some of the country's top brands, improving operating results and growing asset value. He has a track record of forging connections with major players across the sports and entertainment spectrum and is a proven winner uniquely suited to build upon the growing success that Anthem Sports Group's properties have already enjoyed.

Silva has led and grown many sports and media properties throughout his career, including World Series of Fighting/Professional Fighters League; C360, which was sold to Cosm; World TeamTennis; Washington Citi Open ATP500 tennis tournament; Barrett-Jackson; Universal Sports Network, which was ultimately sold to NBC to create the Olympic Channel; Back9 Network; and the sale of Netchannel - one of the first interactive-television companies - to AOL, where he then built and grew AOLNews and AOLSports into leading online destinations.

Silva says Anthem Sports Group's diverse offerings represent a wide range of exciting opportunities for growth and development. TNA Wrestling, Invicta FC, and Fight Network, he notes, are poised to make a major impact in their respective arenas. This is going to be an exciting new era for Anthem Sports Group, and I could not be more excited to lead this talented team as we move forward into the future.

Immediately prior to joining Anthem Sports Group, Silva served as a partner and president of SeventySix Capital Sports Advisory and will continue to be part of the partnership. His investment-banking career also includes serving as managing director and executive in residence at Park Lane, where he raised capital and negotiated major content and technology agreements.
