Also he and Vince have been on opposite sides of the Brock bidding wars too. So nothing specific that I can think of, not like vs. Bob Arum, but just general Dana making GBS threads on everything.

joining forces with the scripted fight company as sports gambling is exploding and fighters are further exploited. seems fine and good. nothing bad will happen for sure.

Brut posted:Wait what? Doesn't Endeavor own a ton of random poo poo, why would them buying WWE specifically somehow directly merge it with UFC? Like even UFC is technically a double subsidiary because there's Zuffa in between (not that this detail is meaningful in any practical sense). That part sounds like a misunderstanding. ![]() Or not even PPV, when was the last time you saw that Zuffa logo?

I did say it wasn't meaningful, just dumb corporate structure stuff. I guess if this is purely for the purpose of letting people buy stock in a thing that is part UFC part WWE for money reasons, then whatever, but the tweet makes it sound like they will combine it in to one corporation that will be operationally run by McMahon, that's the part that makes no sense to me. We'll see how it turns out.

The whole main card should be above average / exciting. Israel Adesanya will win a decision if he doesn't get KO'd Gilbert Burns will KO Masvidal

CommonShore posted:I recall Dana over the years, especially earlier, has talked poo poo about pro wrestling generally. Also he and Vince have been on opposite sides of the Brock bidding wars too. Dana usually had nothing negative to say about Vince as a businessman/person. Just that they were in competition to a degree for audience views but that was back when UFC was on SpikeTV etc. and mostly went away ever since the Fox era.

Brut posted:I did say it wasn't meaningful, just dumb corporate structure stuff. WTF are you on about ![]() That is literally the proposal. It is pretty easy to comprehend and understand why they'd lump UFC & WWE into a subsidiary of Endeavor and why Vince is being put in charge of it.

double negative posted:so vince is dana’s boss now? lmao if so. AFAIK they haven't said anything specifically about Dana White's role going forward and neither has he. One has to presume that he'll still be running the UFC with general impunity, though. Technically, yes, Vince is Dana's boss. That is 100% certain assuming Dana White is still going to be the guy running the UFC.

https://twitter.com/BrandonThurston/status/1642856712427192320?s=20 this has good info on it. sounds like Vince will be chairman, but they’re both on the board along with a lackey (Lawrence Epstein the UFC CFO and Nick Khan the WWE president). Vince is Exec Chairman, but I imagine that Ari Emanuel is gonna largely let each run things. He’ll be the new CEO, and I’d guess Patrick Whitesell is gonna do more on the agency side at the old endeavor. lol at the ticker being TKO for the new company. what do we call ourselves now? The TKO Tent? The Endeavor Erena?
