I’m sure Shane is a nice enough guy and a decent businessman, but after all the attempts at legitimizing the sport and more particularly the UFC brand – why the hell would you want to get in bed with a pro wrestling guy and the accompanying taint.

There’s gotta be a ton of other money marks, and ones that have a good business acumen out there other than a McMahon.

This is pretty surprising to me. I would be very interested to see who would come forward, and who Dana and the Fertittas would accept for such an investment. I’m sure they’d be pretty picky with who they choose since Zuffa is a very tight knit group.

Maybe Vadim Finkelchtein?? Haha, just kdding.

Walla walla walla I'm an idiot.

i wouldn’t be surprised he did just become a bondholder

I think Cuban has been a Zuffa bondholder for months now.

If this leads to the UFC going public, it’d be awesome. We’d finally get to settle the PPV buy debates…

Don't argue for the sake of arguing....

It would be disaster…the UFC being a privately held company has been a big benefit for them.

A man should never waste an opportunity to keep his mouth shut.

maybe the other Mark

Ecko that is. he’s been wanting to get in in the mma craze for a while imo.

Please no.

I’m impressed that Bloomberg got all the terms right. No references to cage fighting, ultimate fighting or any of the other stupid shit you hear most media outlets use.

Sounds like the Fertita’s want to free up some cash.

Interesting...

Thinking of selling a stake in the company shortly after they took out a big loan to pay out some pretty hefty dividends.

this is not related but does anyone else watch bloomberg on a daily basis and notice that they just keep collecting asian chicks? Finance guys disproportionately love asian chicks it seems
