Will the UFC be sold to the WWE?

[Not A Real Fan]

I know it's not likely but the recent talk of a sale, Lesnar being allowed to fight, expected promotion of Summer Slam at UFC 200 and beyond makes me wonder.

What is the WWE getting out of Lesnar at UFC 200?

Not going to happen

 

[Gluteus Swag]

They probs don't even have enough money

 

[Kingz]

get to post that twice in two weeks.

 

[joeyjoejoe]

They most likely just bought a portion of the company.

 

[MMAguitarman]

yeah, no.

 

[Meathead Jock]

If they put all the fights on the WWE Network i'd be down!

 

[IDGETKTFO]

They should just Merge.

I don't think that WWE can afford them at this point. However it would not surprise me if the WWE bought a piece of them. The anti-pro wrestling purists around here may not like this but I think they can benefit each other promotionally even if it just means the occasional thing like this Brock one off fight.

WWE never really recover from that $750M loss, I also think WWE can't even afford UFC asking price

 

[Pliny Pete]

They'd have to sell everything they own 3 times to be able to afford it

I agree with you. I don't know the full details of their finances right now, though I've heard they've gained a lot of lost ground back with the Network, but at most they might be able to get a sliver of the UFC. No way they can pay for the whole thing (unless they are part of a large and wealthy owners group). But at the very least I think there is going to be a lot more cooperation going forward.

Dana says they're worth 4 billion so my valuation comes in around tree fiddy. If every Sherdogger donated $1 we could own UFC.
