You want to talk about a sport that has come a long way. Gotta give credit to Dana and the Fertitas for bringing this sport to the mainstream. Looks like Dana will still be in the picture
quote:

UFC sources told us entertainment and sports talent agency WME/IMG will be the new owners. The company head, Ari Emanuel, will wield a lot of power over the organization. We're told Dana White will still have a major presence, serving as President. The Fertittas brothers will have a minority interest and a diminished role. Lorenzo Fertitta will be stepping down as CEO.

Is this the same IMG as IMG Academy?

So, one fight in boxing was worth 25% of what the ENTIRETY of UFC is worth.


Yep, boxing is dead.

Good timing on their part. Got out right before that shite-show that was UFC 200.
