They are in "serious" talks with 4 different parties to sell it for $4 billion. Hell of an investment the Fertittas made.

It's a corporate world now. Corporations rule all. Land of the brave home of corporate sheep followers sadly. Question: can you be free if you HAVE to go to work for the rest of you're life? For a corporation, company, industry....??Originally posted by Ghenghis KahnComment -
The Fertittas deserve all they can get. They are the ones who took all the risk in buying it. A lot of the fighters make a ton. I don't feel sorry for them one bit.Comment -
false rumorComment -
most fighters don't make shit. you have to take account their coaches, trainers, cutman, travel, meals, etc...Originally posted by MUHerd37Comment -
99% of fans don't care. Mma has the worst fans by far. Just bleed baby..Originally posted by Ghenghis KahnComment -
This is the route that the fighters chose. If they feel that they don't make enough, they are free to go do something else.Originally posted by Bert102Comment -
It's been a shit product since the the ultimate fighter started up.Comment -
Anyone with a pulse saw this coming a mile away. I've been saying it for years. It was obvious what the Fertittas/dana were doing.Comment -
They will never attract those freak athletes. Just average Joe's. John Jones is B level. His brothers were the A level athletes. John would be playing in the NFL with his brothers if was. Old Brock was the exception and only did it for the money they threw at him.Originally posted by MUHerd37Comment -
It's why a lot of fights are rigged now they're not making enough money so they have to gambleComment -
Good move to get out. Regulations about to ruin the fight game in the next year or 2Comment -
White denied it
No story here menComment -
hope you never become an employer with that attitude. c'mon man, have some sympathy for your employees. especially these guys will have mental issues later in life with all the concussions they go through in their careers...Originally posted by MUHerd37Comment -
Can't blame them for selling. They are getting out at a real peak here.Comment -
I have a group put together of Mo, Flipper, and myself. Looking to buy. Who do we contact?Comment -
Yep, Dana White has never lied in his life.Originally posted by jjgoldComment -
anything that is for sale means sport on the declineComment -
The peak to me was the late 2000s when everyone was wearing Tapout/Affliction gear and all that dirty-white-people tattoo rock was all the rage.Originally posted by Reload
Since then, they added divisions, lots of fighters, and it saturated the product too much. Plus, defense got better (Kimuras and Triangle Chokes became almost non-existant as a result) and too many fights were going the distance. TUF was actually good because it gave stories to these low-level guys you normally wouldn't care about. But celebs aren't showing up anymore, and the marquis fights keep getting cancelled because somebody gets injured in practice or busted for PEDs.
Even Dana's going to get sick of it after awhile.Comment -
yes and way too many fights weeklyOriginally posted by Ralphie Halves

Until it happens it's not even worth entertaining the idea. Rumors so far that's it... Boss denied it too..
If it did happen - New UFC ownership might push the UFC to even new heights.. If investors are willing to pay 4 billion I'm sure they will do their very best to keep building up the UFC machine world wide.. UFC and MMA is still a growing sport, probably not a bad investment even for that price..
If I were Dana White and the brothers I'd sell it for 4 billion and sail off into the sunset.. Who needs all the headaches? Fighters canceling fights, diva's like Conor McGregor making demands, etc.. etc..Comment -
it is not worth 4 Billion
They will have hard time getting it backComment -
Nobody wears tapout/affliction gear anymore ?Originally posted by Ralphie HalvesComment -

Why u care if they get paid more money or anyone for that matter? Is it gonna hurt your bottom line that some guy gets more money off a billionaire and can dump it in the economy along with a lot of other families. U assholes who fight so hard for billionaires to keep as much as they can when u make 10 thousand a year make people sick.Originally posted by MUHerd37Comment -
Of course u don't u are a water boy for the rich who someday dreams of being a billionaire. The key word in that sentence is "dream".Originally posted by MUHerd37Comment -
Yeah especially one that is up for sale for 4 billion. JJ the saying is young and dumb not old and dumb for goodness sakesOriginally posted by jjgoldComment -
I agree. Sell this product right now.
It can't get any higher. Probably reached it's peak.Comment
