Zuffa Sale UFC

[locust rising]

Brilliant

They are firming up a lot oo things right now and my guess it is to set up the sale.

I would expect the UFC to sell within 18 months.

I agree. With the new drug testing and the reebok deal it seems the UFC is trying to make their company look more professional to sell

 

[Hard Charger]

Zuffa ain't going to be an easy sell. If I'm a buyer I go in with the mindset that fighters will be unionizing during my holding period, and that potentially could be a huge hit to the bottom line.

 

[CardinalAqua]

They will never sell the entire company. What they may do again soon, is sell another small piece to a company for strategic reasons.

Exactly, it could even be this guy

"HH Shaikh Khalid bin Hamad Al Khalifa visited the offices of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Company in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, where he was received by the company's CEO cum Chairman Lorenzo J. Fertitta"

Joe Rogan Experience 53:45 in

I dunno if Joe knows something we don't...

Is that the guy from that steroid documentary?

 

[Strikes Again]

You have a valid point.

 

[philweed]

Look at all the sissies and their "boo hoo! The UFC sucks! I complain about them all the time yet I watch all their shows!" Go f*cking whine somewhere else, drama queens.

 

[skylolow]

There has been rumors for years that Zuffa is always open to offers and have actually listened to offers.

Honestly, I don't see them selling anytime in the next 5 years.

 

[Black Paladin]

i would just like to see the finances of it. It would be curious to see their spending, how much fighters actually make, true ppv buys, etc.

Ah, the joy of a non-public business entity.

 

[Mesos]

Exactly, it could even be this guy

​

Interesting...... and then theirs also those plans from one of the princes of the kingdom to start an mma supercamp in bahrain.

By 2018 max, like how I said years ago too.

Or do you guys think they will sell up after the stars have left? because that makes a lot of sense right? so the new buyers will be buying an organisation with no superstars... they might not officially announce it but Dana will disappear and Lorenzo will probably stay for a while

they changed their whole business strategy years ago, it was clear they don't care about building the sport anymore, just cash in as much as they can, e.g reebok deal
