Quicken Loans founder Dan Gilbert, who owns the lion's share of real estate in downtown Detroit, is part of a group in final negotiations to buy Sports Illustrated, the New York Post reports.

Gilbert's group includes motivational speaker and author Tony Robbins.

Three other suitors, including  Roger Penske's son, Jay Penske, talent agency William Morris Endeavor and The Hill owner Jimmy Finkelstein, are said to have dropped out of the running, sources tell the paper.
