Rumored Khabib bought out Gorilla Fighting Championship

[Pliny Pete]

Meh Gorilla fighting championship is much better name then eagle championship fighting IMO

Better be real eagles and not just a buncha roided up pigeons

 

[John Black]

Now Khabib can sign deal with GSP and fight on the stadium at the first event to gain some momentum for his organisation.

 

[delbosque]

Khabib is building a legacy that extends far beyond his fight career. The influence that he has, and will continue to have, cannot be understated.

 

[The Barbarian]

1 million? We could had pool that together here!

 

[The Chosen]

I actually thought he already owned it, nice.

 

[Beherit]

What if he want to fight in his own organisation ?

That sounds impossibly far fetched...but maybe that is what he's meeting with Dana about? <Lmaoo>

 

[TempleoftheDog]

Waste of money.

I wonder how many people said the same about the previous owners of the UFC buying it for $2 million. What did they sell for again...$4 billion? And what is a million to Khabib? He got paid that just to watch a boxing match about a year ago.

He's branching out, and planning for a future without fighting himself. Good luck to him.

 

[BigTruck]

That's pretty cool. He already has a gym and trains kids for free...

He can 'create' fighters and make them fight

He can also fight for his own organization and make even more money than from the UFC. Imagine him vs Connor in his promotion? They could probably pull 2 mill buys and keep most of the revenue.

 

[Herwald]

Can't wait until he buys the UFC and bans all of Conor's fight content.

In b4 Khabz is pimping Conor's piss.

 

[maximmm]

There are already a few promotions in Russia - there's even a Chechen promotion, but maybe he wanted to have a Degestani one? All in all - meh.

 

[bobStash]

1 million seems like quite little for a company as big as GFC.

Most of these leagues make no money and bring more debts and outlays than they have in revenue.

 

[leto1776]

a much smarter move than making and sponsoring a cheap booze.

Khabib knows where the money is and with his experience in russian fighters, he'll probably do fine.

Only time will tell.

Not sure if serious

$2m was the purchase price. Then they went another 60million in the red, before earning all then back, and then they finally turned a profit. That was in a completely different environment, btw.

 

[Kingz]

lol, what’s next?

a restaurant?

 

[leto1776]

1 million seems like quite little for a company as big as GFC.

Most of a company’s value is in two things: their video library and the fighter contracts.

GFC fights can be found online for free, making the library essentially worthless. Aside from champions, most promotions don’t hold exclusive contracts.

Finally, most mma promotions operate at a deficit, so the owners are happy to take what they can get.

ONE FC also has all their kickboxing, muay thai, MMA fights for free on their yt channel and website.

Who remembers War mma organization? Lol if you know, you know

I don't know.

I'm not sure the eggplants would be able to salute other kinds of birds.

 

[DebtCollectorMMA]

Thank McGregor.

 

[textwarrior]

Wow, Khabib making a lot of moves lately

I hope it is successful.
