New UFC owners WME-IMG represent Ronda

[Sherwolf]

Interesting to note Ronda is currently one of their clients, along with many celebrities. Leads me to think they were turned on to UFC after discovering Ronda in 2003-2004. That means Ronda may have played a part in the sale of the organization or at least made the introduction. Crazy to think Fertitas took the company from $2 million to $4 billion in a matter of 15 years.

Anybody who thinks Rousey didn't play a part is an idiot, she's one of the main reasons that 2015 was one of their biggest years ever if not their biggest.

 

[Was at Pride GP 2000]

Are you saying you think Ronda has a motor in the back of her Honda? ???

Not true.

 

[ortizgnp]

They sold for 4 billion thanks to Conor.

Ask @Jin Akutsu and @MayhemMonkey919

 

[Magooglie]

Jones cost them .5 billion.

Big plans to sign Russel Crowe and Denzel Washington for UFC 300. Should get over 2 million PPV buys.

 

[SlicerDM]

They have a lot of clients, a lot. Doesn't surprise me.

 

[Rvd Slmr]

Yes, a massive world wide sports and talent agency had never heard of the UFC until Rousey arrived, makes sense. She brought tons of money last year, but I highly doubt she played any active and voluntary part in the process of buying the UFC.

If Conor wins I can see the new owners doing Conor vs mayeether in 2017

Then you need new glasses. This is like when Viacom bought Bellator and people acted like Rebney had suddenly full access to Viacom's billions to pay for any crazy match-up he wanted.

It's a conspiracy!

They put about 40 million in to keep it afloat and then dumped 40 million in to buy Pride. They might have turned $80 million into $4 billion, still outstanding.

She's famous because of you.

Pay Ronda her share Dana! You cheap bastard.

Ronda deserves at least 100 million.

 

[ArtOfDrowning]

Oh no, more Ronda hype coming in

I don't think anyone needs to worry about Rousey. Especially so when it comes to her finances.

 

[The Beast Within]

because of white knights like you

Lol

No.

....Leads me to think they were turned on to UFC after discovering Ronda in 2003-2004....

WME did not "discover" Rousey in "2003-2004". They started representing her in 2013.
