Kraft becomes partial owner AND Dana stays on.... People are going to explode lol
RUMOR: UFC has been sold; announcement soon
- Thread starter Wild
- Start date
Not a bad deal for Dana if true. He sells his 9% stake for $377 million, and picks up 6% to 7% of the company with an initial value of $251 to $293 million
UFC would copromote with M1, which would copromote with UFC and so on into a black hole of infinite recursion

My impression is that the company won’t change much, at least from a public perception standpoint.
Jeremy Botter @jeremybotter 8m8 minutes ago
The potential new owners are happy to allow things to continue to run the way they have. No drastic changes outside of Lorenzo/Frank gone.
Jeremy Botter @jeremybotter 8m8 minutes ago
The new ownership group will also allow easy expansion into China, so there could be huge international growth in store.
Jeremy Botter @jeremybotter 7m7 minutes ago
I expect the company to remain privately held.
Jeremy Botter @jeremybotter 6m6 minutes ago
The potential selling price, if accepted, makes UFC the most valuable sporting franchise in the world.
Jeremy Botter @jeremybotter 5m5 minutes ago
All current deals would stay in place until the end of term.

The Fertittas are aggressively expanding casino business. This deal gives them a massive bankroll to work with.
Jeremy Botter @jeremybotter 3m3 minutes ago
I’ve been told the Fertittas are no longer happy just being “locals” casino owners. They want to make their mark on the strip itself.

And the stuff about Lorenzo wanting to be involved with the Raiders in Vegas….100% true.

How the hell can tiny swole and co. expand the casino business and get involved with the raiders? Conflict of interest?
What is the conflict?
Its actually a German word that means 'notices', like, he notices = er merkt.
The most interesting name is Timo Feucht though. Feucht means wet, also like in.. wet pussy.
What Does It Take to Own an NFL Team?

That's far from the only hurdle potential owners must leap.
Ownership in any gambling interests is a big no-no, so casino owners need not apply.
Well this fighter from germany isn't doing bad at all and his little brother is on his way up there too.

I thought about including Abu, but decided he is too old in a too deep division to make some big waves in the future. But if he proves me wrong, I'm not gonna be mad.
His brother is interesting, but his level of competition just wasn't noteworthy yet. We will see. There are a lot of up and comers with 5-0 or 6-0 and the likes, but unless its in a thin division (like hw) or they fought anyone proven good, I didn't wanna jump the gun.
Interesting. Man owner of the patriots and the ufc, crazy shit if this comes to fruition. Seems like almost all the buyers were interested in keeping Dana on to steer the ship. I imagine status quo won't change much but I'm interested to see Dana without the fertittas above him.
I honestly can't tell if its a good or bad thing. Probably both in different issues.
Hi there! We're Dana, Lorenzo and Frank! Please bend over so we can fuck your ass!
That is not a nice greeting at all.
This can't be true -
“May 10, 2016
The UFC is not for sale,” White told the Review-Journal on Tuesday evening. “The ESPN story is overblown. Darren Rovell is not a fan of facts. His facts could not be further off.”
UFC president Dana White denies ESPN report of organization’s sale

Of course it can't be true. It came out of Dana's mouth.

aint no chance in hell. either way the fighters arent getting paid shit unless the ali act happensHopefully the fighters will finally get paid what they deserve now
I can see the owners, the folks at Kraft making sure they get all the processed cheese they can eat though.
Robert Kraft and Kraft foods have no affiliation whatsoever.
The Ali act will fracture the sport and much like boxing it'd only truly increase pay for the top of fighters who draw. The middle class of fighters would suffer big time like they do in boxing. Our government is wholly incompetent when it comes to our sport.... I get its cool to hate on zuffa but I can't believe so many of you think this is a good idea.
