@Dat Pre-HollyHolm Ronda $
WWE net income last 3 years
32,640m
33,841m
24,144m
They made $32.6m off of $800m gross in 2017
That means they make about $4-5 for every $100 they bring in as profit
UFC in 2017, made about 9x that %
If WWE is trading at $3b, imagine UFC in 2019
That proves a few things
1. Fighters can certainly be paid a lot more without hurting bottom line
2. UFC is incredibly sound financially
3. They would kill by going public, because stock market investors cares less about content & look at pure profit
Wish I could get in on that initial IPO
