Askren says Bellator for sale, wonder if Dana's interested

How much? Maybe us sherdoggers can pool together some cash

 

[Loiosh]

I doubt it.

They need weak organizations in play so they can argue there's no monopoly.

 

[Bogeyman]

Doubt they're interested. They bought WEC and Strikeforce because their rosters were full of fighters that the UFC wanted to sign. Bellator is full of fighters that the UFC wanted to get rid of.

Can't blame Scott Coker. Most people aren't MMA fans but rather are UFC fans.

 

[Mammothman]

I would love it but it's unlikely

I can throw in about $14

Askren salty because Bellator let him walk away without re signing him as champion. That’s unheard of lol

 

[DaleBoca]

Coker did a great job with Strikeforce. I remember the UFC shills were calling it Strikefarce and said their fighters wouldn’t come close to winning world titles. Look at how many of their fighters held belts.

SF never dies!

I need a better source about the Bellator on sale than from someone like Askren who had a sour relationship with Bellator at the end.

Called it years ago, Scott Coker is not very good when it comes to having a overall outlook for a company long terms and it’s fighters. Being a nice guy doesn’t equal to being a good promoter. If it’s true, this is his third failure as a combat sports president/promoter.

 

[MikeyB]

Is Vince McMahon or Dixie Carter interested?

 

[Mesos]

Viacom realizing how difficult and unprofitable mma is. One fc loses a ton of money every year too.

Starting an mma promotion is a very long term and capital intensive investment. If your not down for long run you should never be involved in it. Strikeforce investors learned that the hard way

 

[Rocket Punch]

that's idiotic. Cocker must be doing something right because next year i'm gonna def tune in to Bellator for Romero and Rumble

 

[The Bloody Nine]

Asscream is going to be just another Paul victim.

 

[Mesos]

Also to answer your question doubt the Goof is interested. Bellator doesnt have the same level of talent that Strikeforce did. Also with the current lawsuit its not a good idea for them to be buying out competition anymore.

The goof will just wait for it to be sold or fail then pick up the few scraps that are decent

 

[VaselineSweep]

Doubt they're interested. They bought WEC and Strikeforce because their rosters were full of fighters that the UFC wanted to sign. Bellator is full of fighters that the UFC wanted to get rid of.

Now they can buy them back for bargain bin prices.
