Moody’s reports UFC Holdings, LLC made ‘well over $700 million’ last year

[acannxr]

Apparently Dana White was correct when he said that 2017 was the “best year by a long shot” for the UFC and their parent entity, ZUffa, LLC. According to a Moody’s Investors Service announcement from last month, UFC Holdings, LLC (the rated entity following the acquisition of Zuffa by Endeavor, Silver Lake Partners and Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co.) generated “well over $700 million” in revenues for the Last Twelve Months ending March 31 of this year.

While the fiscal year reported by Moody’s included the 1st quarter of 2018 and not the 1st quarter of 2017, that probably wouldn’t make much of a difference for 2017’s totals. According to Tapology’s PPV buy estimates, there was only a 250,000 buy difference between the two quarters.

The “well over $700 million” in revenues for 2017 would likely be a record, beating 2016’s total revenue which is thought to have surpassed $700 million. It would also be more than the total revenues generated in 2016, which, according to a July 22, 2016 UFC Lender Presentation, was $609 million.

Better add that to my WME profit spreadsheet.

And we all know why

So they only have another 3.5 billion to go until they break even from when the Fertittas conned them

 

[Boonedoggle]

UFC isn't dying, you goofs.

Those numbers show it wasn't a con...

All they need is for Mighty Mouse to headline a few cards in 2018 and they'll eclipse a billion.

"BTW we're building a new UFC performance center in China"

I hope Dana / ZB try these BS revenue splits and gets laughed out of boxing​

 

[HelloJapan]

Bigger then Soccer.

 

[gimp0]

so fighters saw less than 100 million of that 700? Good ole 14 percent.

@FrankieNYC - Any of this new to you?

"DYING!", they said.

 

[Verace]

Im here waiting for the 2018 stats tho

 

[GrantB13]

And we all know why

Lol. Floyd blessed Conor. Don't pretend that he was god's gift to boxing.

 

[MRT]

taken in isolation, revenue growth tells us very little about overall profit or health of the company though, does it not?

 

[VIP1349]

These numbers make me laugh at how little we know. Some dude online tells us a PPV did 200k by using some formula. And we all take it as fact, mean while they are making 700 mil in revenue which means it likely isn't the case. They got TV deals worldwide, just signed one with ESPN that will push the profit even higher.

If they can't figure out how to unionize among themselves then they deserve to get ripped the fuck off. I have no more sympathy for them as I do for the thousands of Chinese at Foxconn who work 17 hours a day for pocket change to assemble my iPhone until they get so sick they jump out of the window into safety nets. Life is not fair, tough it up or get taken advantage of.

 

[Danis_champ]

10k show money

 

[Dozer .]

How are those 2018 numbers look like?

 

[Mixedfights]

Lol...Sherdog always finds a way to talk shit on UFC. "Well, they aint paing enough to the fighters".

Just STFU.

You dont like it, dont watch it. Dont talk about it. You just need something to bitch about though right? Lol

 

[acannxr]

How are those 2018 numbers look like?

Probably even better with the ESPN deal.
