The Fertittas conned WME

yeah... i said this before anyone
 
The Fertittas didn’t con WME! WME conned WME!
 
Buy low, sell high.
They are smart business men.

WME is run by people who are not
 
this idea is like fans who get behind an unproven fighter with unbridled enthusiasm, and then when that fighter loses, blames UFC for "over-hyping the fighter."

you're the dumbshit fan who bought they hype. you're the dumbshit who's to blame.

similarly, the F brothers didn't con anyone. WME had all the access to all the financials.

the claim that the F brothers ever cared more about the sport than money - now that's the con.

I think you are missing the fact that companies get bought all the time, they have long projections for turning a profit. you don't buy a company and the next year get all your money back and start turning a profit. doesn't happen, or the company wouldn't get sold for anywhere what they are making a year. generally it's based off a 5-10 year projection. so if your company is generating $10 millions year in profit, the sale price would be between 50-100 million (generally). it may be different because they purchased an entire sport basically? these guys are much smarter business people than you or myself, they probably know what they're doing.

so true. and WME will be fine.

UFC will change. because all startups that move from exponential hockey-stick growth to middle aged, long term slow growth go through these changes.

everyone loves the startup. being blue chip is just so fucking ... boring. Zuffa's goal was to exponentially increase viewership. they did that. whereas WME's goal is to continue to increase revenues at a much slower pace over a longer period of time.

simply put, TUF 1 to Conor was way more entertaining than "slower growth over a longer period of time".

...

then again, the cord cutting may bankrupt them, and all other sports deals. if their gamble fails, they'll survive. UFC is just one small portion of Endeavor. it just happens to be the one portion people here care about.

time will tell.
 
there are so many amazing financial analysts on here

how they can spend so much time analyzing the market and following MMA hardcore is crazy!
 
WME is a Illuminati company
 
They got rich by being smart and that's another example of it.

Props to them.

WME are clueless btw
