Comments Thread For: Bob Arum: UFC is on The Balls of It's Ass, No Marquee Stars Left!

[MisanthropicNY]

The UFC as a corporation is currently 4.5 Billion Dollars in Debt and there's no way they'll ever pay that off.

The New Owners massively over paid for it, thinking they would sit on it paying the interest on the loan and then sell it on for $6 Billion but thats not ever going to happen.

UFC Revenues for 2016 were approximately $700 million.

UFC revenues for 2017 were higher than 2016.

I'd say the UFC will make 4.5 billion in about 7 years and 5 years from 2017. Looks like a pretty sound investment to me.

the ufc broke the ppv record in north america with their event in November ufc 217..they're doing okay..when was the last time bob had a record breaking ppv show? or just a ppv show for starters

What are you talking about it didn't break the ppv record in north america, not even close. It did 875k which is good but nothing crazy. It was the highest of the year for Ufc by far. Most ufc ppv's in 2017 only did 100k-200k which is miserable. Bob didn't put any fights on ppv in 2017 but rest assured Loma and Crawford will both be ppv stars soon. Arum is right Ufc has gone way down and boxing is going up

You're the braindead idiot. So what, they did 12 PPV's, what does that prove ******?

U mad Fat ***** ?

UFC sold more PPV than boxing (except mcgregor vs. floyd )

The only reason the numbers were higher in 2017 were because of Mayweather Mcgregor and Ufc didnt get to keep most of that revenue. Ppv numbers were way down in 2017 compared to the 2 years before that.

The rivalry between UFC and boxing doesn't make sense to me. I watch both but I prefer boxing. If I had to chose between the two of course it would be boxing. I did notice the last 2 or 3 PPV UFC events there were a lot of empty seats. Arum might be on to something about it's decline.

UFC didn't make $700 Million in 2016 haha

You're pulling your figures out of your ass.

You report PPV figures as though they are OFFICIAL Figures when they're just Made up Nonsense.

I think the UFC have only once officially announced PPV figures and that was UFC 100 for their most stacked card ever.

UFC are in HUGE FINANCIAL TROUBLE.

I got those figures from Moody's:

You're just making up statements out of thin air to fit your agenda.

Politically, you're a Leftist-Libtard I'm assuming? Ass hats like you destroy debate because you aren't looking for truth, you are just advocating an agenda and facts don't matter to you.

Additionally, don't ever disrespect the UFC or Dana White. We could also step outside if you still have any issues with this discussion. JS.

I guarantee all the PPV Figures or their Profit that you quote are 100% wrong unless it comes from an actual official statement from the UFC themselves.

Remember when Showtime Sports President Stephen Espinoza made an official Annoucement about the PPV Sales for Mayweather-Mcgregor...thats a REAL FIGURE as opposed to the Dana White "it sold 6 Million" BS.

All UFC PPV's are inflated for Marketing and to show strength in their Brand but they never release figures officially as they'd be screwed with the IRS.

You're missing the point you idiot.

One is a made up number.

One is an OFFICIAL STATEMENT based on FACTS!

I deal in FACTS...not FANTASTY NUMBERS based on FAKE NEWS RELEASES.
