UFC president Dana White at a press conference after the UFC Vegas 73 tournament commented on information that the PFL league is looking to buy the Bellator MMA promotion.
I'm hearing that they [PFL] are raising money right now, you know, 280 million, 300 million, because I'm hearing they're buying Bellator. Right? So, you're an organization that's burning cash, you have no ratings, and selling no tickets. And you're gonna raise 280 million to buy a company that's burning cash, sells no tickets, and does no ratings. Sounds f**king absolutely genius to me.
