Yahoo Finance Canada

Speculation is rampant that a deal is the works that will see Montreal's Cirque Du Soleil sold to New York-based TPG Capital, a private equity firm famed for pullng off mammoth deals. And this one would be big. While many believe Cirque founder Guy Laliberte won't get the $2-billion he's rumoured to be seeking, the iconic circus empire will certainly crack the 10-figure mark. Much to be gained, but outside of dollars and cents what will be lost? Here we explore what hangs in the balance.
