You know, espn is included in basic cable right, you have to pay extra for hbo, which is the reason why I never got Hbo..

Only people who look like fools are the morons on here who scream UFC is dying.

Forbes has them still out pacing every televised "sport" but soccer for growth.

Both the ufc and espn are dying, mma and sports in general remain great, but the vehicles delivering them are diseased.

We are all dying...

Yeah 300 million a year and ESPN is in bad shape right now

 

[Kinniku]

So in 5 years WME still wont be able to recover the 4 billions they paid for the UFC,..

300 millions per year barely allows them to pay their debt interest.

crazy to think thats like 1 conor fight. man is truly impressive.

450mil is not one Conor fight.. lol

 

[campbecc]

ESPN is included in all basic cable programming, you idiot. HBO costs extra, it’s a premium channel.

The fact it costs extra means nothing, ESPN is way bigger than HBO for sports they have Monday Night Football, NBA playoffs etc.

im pretty sure last fight with flyod made that much money in total sales

 

[strongstylekarate]

I have a feeling ESPN will regret this in the future.

 

[The Big Bang]

ESPN is bigger than HBO.

HBO boxing production vs ESPN boxing production..............

HBO wins.
