The bid was rejected

Wow. Since the UFC scored 4 Billion, I think it was the right move.

 

[Sonny Qc]

would have been a good purchase for FOX tbh.

Every time people say Fox isn't happy with the UFC deal we can have a retard alert that sends them to this article.

lol.

 

[Coolidge]

I would've much preferred them to have it.

Would have been interesting if fox won the bid, no more ppv to maximize tv value? But ppv is still a good source of income for the UFC.

'Murica!

Fox

Frig, we would have maybe got another year out of UFC before it got cancelled

How much did wolf bite?

 

[DoopidyDawesome]

Thank God, fuck Fox and the Murdoch's, those soulless shit suckers.

I'm sure Fox would of upped their bid to $4 billion! I wonder why they didn't...

According to the story, the execs stopped at 3.6 and didn't want to press on more...looks like they drew a line in the sand and stuck by it.

Speaking of retard alert you still think the UFC aint selling?

 

[Iroh]

I'm glad they didn't get it. It would have been made so PC, tame and lame, that the Just Bleed Gods would've wanted to shoot themselves.

lmao I was completely right dude, I simply said Botter wasn't correct when he said the "deal was done" after the UFC took bids about a month ago or more now. Which turned out to be correct because they eventually picked a non-China bid at a later date weeks after.

Also they didn't sell the whole company like originally reported, Ferttita Bros, Dana, and Flash Media all kept shares, Dana/Flash pretty significant shares of the company.

I just didn't believe the UFC brass would sell the entire company to new owners, which they ended up not doing.

 

[FrodoFraggins]

fox would ruin it - 100% guaranteed. they'd try to make it mainstream which it can't really ever be and more PC.

 

[Rondas Pillow]

@FrankieNYC - you're slipping man. You should have posted this first.

 

[soulsstealer]

should have sold it to fox, better for the sport.

We're talking Fox here, not NBC, ABC or CBS
