If true, what next? Bellator?

It's their monarchy, not government.

How is this not a Warrio thread?

Saw the headline but didn't read.

Would hope not but hey

 

[Batjester]

Not if the PWD buys them first.

RedBird Capital Partners the US private equity company has been bragging on the internet that they have received One Billion dollars from Saudi to buy sports promotions. To just give a billion and be told to buy sports promotions...

LIV golf has been signing every pro golfer with a name to big paychecks. Endeavor Group Holdings claim they will stand up to this Saudi organization, but they do not have as deep of pockets, only way.. would be for other Private Equity Companies like Silver Lake to go in with them. Looks like WWE is looking for at least 6 billion.

Looks like Bellator MMA is on the market too. Would be cheaper.

Amazon seems like the most logical buyer, maybe Comcast is #2. It doesn’t seem to fit stylistically with Disney or Netflix and too expensive for the others.

In Saudi, the monarchy is their government.

Tony Khan should borrow more of daddy's money

racist.

 

[BB in Crazy!!!!]

If they buy it, I can only imagine how wonky it would become. Given how the PPVs are there.

Disney for constant hero like figures for toys or Netflix for their new game content plans, they once tried to buy Formula One and know the value of having the rights.
