Apparently If UFC sells for 4 Billion...

[MMAth Problem]

It will be the largest sale of a sports franchise in history.

EDIT: It seems the article no longer makes this claim.

EDIT 2: On the MMA Hour Ariel and Dave Meltzer keep saying "Biggest transaction in sports history"

 

[Zarra]

Bigger than soccer.

 

[joeyjoejoe]

Holy fack.

 

[gimp0]

UFC is basically it's own sport.

Do you train UFC, bro?

 

[MCMXCIX]

True if huge.

 

[yookfarb]

UFC is dying bro

 

[Still your boy]

Yeah because nobody sells sports that are expected to do amazingly.



UFC is dying.

 

[SlicerDM]

Lol@ UFC is dying.


MMA is not going to die, it is integrated into Western sport culture just like MLB,NBA,Boxing,NHL

 

[kenCs]

Fertitas trying to cash out before the well runs dry. Everybody including Conor, wanna make their money and GTFO.

 

[DaGenius]

Can't pay the fighters more... Hahah

 

[TrainHard]

Lol, then the Ali act comes in and outlaws monopoly franchises, and some chump is left with a worthless company they bought for 4bn

 

[Agent Mulder's Hair]

mma is clearly and obviously on a down turn and zuffa knows that. It's peaked for now. Doesn't mean it won't peak again in the future, but not for awhile. If I were them I'd take that 4 billion right now too, because in a couple more years they wouldn't get that for it.

 

[Crash Lance]

I hope that the Ali Act never happens in MMA.

 

[ALAN PARTRIDGE]

Buy me stuff

 

[Nihilism]

UFC sells wolf tickets by the seashore.

 

[MMAth Problem]

I didn't realize this could potentially break records, impressive.

 

[Harmonica]

Sounds to me we've found something interesting for Trump to devote himself to, in case he loses the presidential race.

 

[Agent Mulder's Hair]

and some chump is left with a worthless company they bought for 4bn

Apparently UFC did learn a thing or 2 from PRIDE

 

[Nihilism]

I hope that the Ali Act never happens in MMA.

Can't have our human cockfighting watered down by pesky human rights.
