What do people think of when you mention IMG? For most, it's money, for some it's exploitation, for others it's sports promotion, and, thanks to my friend Rick Roa at IMG's Tokyo office, for me it's the Playmate twins Carol and Darlene Bernaola.

But that's another story; this one's about sports.

The International Marketing Group is the largest sports management company in the world. In fact, IMG basically got that little ball rolling.
