Dana: UFC valued at $7b now

[FrankieNYC]

It's weird. Dana could claim it tripled in value and yet i bet the Fertittas are still smiling.

Of course
It was a great deal for both sides
there was no "con" or swindle

 

[wilKO]

Conor is worth $6 billion. The rest of UFC is worth $1 billion.

I don’t listen to Dana, I listen to Frankie

Yes.
Every single human being on earth can contribute $1, and all of humanity can share the UFC.

What do you think WME's preferred strategy is here? Go public? Sell it? Continue as they are?

I thought going public after the TV deal announcement, but I haven't heard a word about it.

I think they continue & if they get a huge offer they look at taking it.

Also remember they (as of months ago) were not even 50% owners, so its not just them.

They get $25m per to run UFC, so they could sell ownership & still stay on.

it can go many ways.

Lmao stfu. You don't know shit lol.

I think you should read more and post less!
His history of information proves otherwise.

 

[micahl]

1. Dana is prone to exaggerate & outright lie
2. I think he is projected business that is not a guarantee yet. Things like PPV going up with Brock & Conor back fighting, GSP & Jones, etc.

It can certainly get up to that value with ESPn & escalating TV deals & other contracts, but business as it stands now with ESPN, $6b is realistic.
If business gets better? Close to $7b is viable

No matter how many times they polish this turd, it's still a turd.

It's only worth h $7 bil if someone or some group pay $7 bil.

Everything is worth what its purchaser will pay for it.

 

[Jibsta69]

Despite low ppv buyrates, I doubt there losing money like people on here would try and make you believe.

Nothing has any inherent value.​

They were actually trying to buy out others a year ago so WME can get a majority ownership
