The online fight I’ve always wanted…is…
…Dana White vs. Darren Rovell. You have Bully vs. the self-professed Nerd in this war over whether UFC is looking for a buyer. Of course Dana says it’s a bullshit story. Rovell counters that he has five sources saying the same thing. Rovell challenged the Bully on Twitter and….crickets from Dana. Nothing other than what he said to Vegas media claiming the story is false. But no tweets crushing Rovell? That’s not Dana’s style. That means the UFC is about to be sold. Going out on a limb here and saying the UFC wouldn’t survive if Dana hit the road. He has to be part of the sale package.
Numbers from @darrenrovell:
A $3.5B to $4B purchase price for the UFC would not be an unreasonable multiple of earnings. Investors looking at it as a media company.
