Anthem Sports Group has appointed Rob Kligman as its chief revenue officer. Kligman’s extensive experience in sports media makes him the ideal candidate to increase revenue across various areas of the global media company’s business, including sales and sponsorships. His role will also involve overseeing strategic partnerships for Anthem’s TNA Wrestling and Invicta Fighting Championships.
Kligman previously held executive roles at USA Today and Time Inc. Before that, he spent eight years at WWE as the vice president of global digital and integrated sponsorship sales. With his expertise, he will be instrumental in driving business growth objectives for TNA Wrestling and Invicta FC, focusing on enhancing revenue streams such as PPV events, merchandise, and social media.
This year marks a pivotal time for TNA Wrestling and Invicta FC, with TNA making a rebranding decision to return to its original name from Impact Wrestling. This change took effect in January, coinciding with the Hard to Kill PPV event near Las Vegas. Kligman will play a key role in generating excitement for TNA’s upcoming annual Slammiversary summer event in Montreal on July 20.
Invicta Fighting Championships has also seen recent success with a new media agreement secured with CBS Sports. This agreement grants rights to CBS Sports to broadcast Invicta events for the remainder of the year, starting with Invicta FC 55 on June 28 featuring a fight between Brazilian bantamweight Talita Bernardo and Olga Rubin. Kligman’s expertise will contribute to maximizing the potential of this new partnership.
Anthem Sports & Entertainment is thrilled to have Kligman join its team at this exciting time for TNA Wrestling and Invicta FC.
