    WME received $25m first year as "management" (before profits)

    Found out that before ownership profits are divided, that WME received $25m salary to manage UFC A lot don't realize that as of 9/17, WME did not even own 50% of UFC. When they put the deal together with their partners, they arraigned to be paid $25m upfront.

    Let's get some things straight about WME's TV deal

    Short version: Something about TV rights, ghouls and dating the elderly. Long version: So firstly, WME 'got their 300 million. Wow. Ari Emmanuel and Shapiro did it' deal, as the other thread starts with. And they did do pretty well - there were several pessimistic reports that it was going to...

    Any chance WME comes to their senses and makes UFC 223 free?

    That would be the best way to salvage it, already it was a bs ppv once Ferg got injured, now wtih 3 more fights off, and Khabib may not even have anyone to fight tonight, how the fuck do they expect people to order this shit quality event. So why not just make it a free card, actually this card...

    Khabib-Holloway is the worst 'panic-fight' of the WME era, and that's saying something

    The narrative about this fight now is more about people being disappointed Max only has 6 days to prepare than about the fact that it is a really bad idea to do this fight at all. At least with Cormier-Stipe, which is also a bad idea that could wreck divisions, that is somewhat of a...

    If you are WME and you want to market a rising fighter

    Why would you put him on a PPV and not as one of the last 2 fights on the prelims? Now if its the type of PPV where Conor is on it, or its stacked so hardcore like UFC 200 that it will get 800K or more buys, that is different, but that is like 1 out 10. I am talking for example them putting...

    Austin Arnett is proof of how weak WME is

    The UFC is and has been already severely watered down. WME has the marketing ability of a musk rat, no new ideas in the year plus they took this ship over. We already see guys in their prime leaving like Bader and Davis. Now even guys in their prime who are exciting fighters are leaving due...

    UFC FW Sheymon Moraes wants to quit being an Uber Driver

    Following in on the footsteps of TUF Brazil 1 champion, Cezar Ferreira, UFC featherweight Sheymon Moraes has also been spending his time driving around the streets as an Uber driver, in order to expand his income. As Sheymon explained to Combate, he doesn’t think he did too badly against Zabit...

    Terry Crews was sexually assaulted by a WME head

    He is (or was) the head of their Motion Picture Department, no connection with the UFC as far as I can tell, but it will be interesting to see if there's any blow back coming for WME and if it will effect business. Terry Crews names alleged sexual assaulter: 'I will not be shamed'

    Wme is going to kill the ufc.

    They have no idea what they are doing. DFW is going to get off this sinking boat at his first opportunity. The cards are more watered down than a 3 dollar long island at a corner burger joint. Fighters are jumping to Bellator in droves. 2 years from now, Bellator will have a secure rnc on the...

    UFC is CNN

    UFC is the largest and most influential MMA org by a country mile, much like CNN once was in TV news. But as money grew bigger, both discovered that perception is more important than reality. The perception that you're the most trusted name in news, or the ultimate proving ground of MMA is at...

    Ferguson declined rematch w/ Michael Johnson because UFC offered less money

    See thread title. This is per Tony Ferguson's Twitter: I get it being a non-title fight, but they should at least pay the man the same money if he's willing to risk his spot in the division against a dangerous opponent to save the PPV (or at least make the PPV better). If there's another...

    The UFC needs more belts (lets WME the fuck up!)

    It occurs to me that if WME truly wants to have 2+ title fights on every PPV, they might as well go full retard, and book two belts for every division. This way, they can totally have both the belt that reflects the sport, and the belt they actually want in their WME-brains. But who really wants...

    If WME ran the HW division like they do other divisions.....

    Stipe would've defended the belt against Roy Nelson first and would be taking on Randy Couture next. EDIT: or he would not be defending the belt at all and would be floating a fight against Klitscko.

    WME May Be Putting An End To "The Ultimate Fighter"

    Kind of surprised how much they are changing with the UFC. TUF seemed like a great way to cultivate new talent. Maybe this means they want a leaner roster too?
