TheRussianRocket. Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Hasn't been sold yet. That's just the top offer. Probably be after UFC200 talks begin to heat up as both sides reach an agreement. WWE purchasing UFC. I don't know how to feel about this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stelar Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Love the MMA fights but frankly the wages the fighters earn is a joke. Dana White is a toolbox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince McMahon is only worth like 1.2 billion. Even if he did have the cash to buy, i doubt he would with all of the concussion stuff coming out. I just see some random comments below the article of people talking about if it was shane or vince. haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cripplereh Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 If the WWE buys the UFC it will make more money then ever before,but saying this lots of people will stop watching soon after as the WWE is all about media now and for a fighting sport I think WWE will take it a bit to far like they did with football.

DrJockitch Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 It is not WWE, it is WME, an entertainment management group. Includes the Krafts that own the Patriots. Vince McMahon can't afford 4.2 B. Great time to be getting out of the sport by the Fertitas, fighters are starting to demand fair pay and if the Ali act goes through in the US they will have to start reporting financials which will make it a lot harder to screw the fighters like they do. Keeping Dana White is a mistake IMHO. His time has come and gone. Great sport but the organization has not treated its athletes well. Hopefully being managed by a entertainment management group, they will finally treat the talent well, the fighters deserve a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GSP is coming back. https://t.co/kiPFTe6zXA Georges St-Pierre, a man widely considered to be the greatest welterweight to ever compete in mixed martial arts, is ready to give it one more good run. St-Pierre announced Monday on The MMA Hour that he has decided to end his nearly three-year hiatus and return to the Octagon, provided that his management and the UFC are able to come to terms on a deal.

Bruce Boudreau Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Most of the fighters do get paid like crap unless you are a mainstream star like Connor McGregor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
