As a result very little financial information is made public. The numbers that do see the light of day are carefully screened and released only when convenient to tout the growth and success of the UFC brand. As result the company’s financial status and business model are largely left to speculation...." This is the most important part of the story. Zuffa doesn't tell anybody shit. They are loaded, and a money machine. You know how much t.v. ad revenue they get from evey Spike TV live event and reality show? I don't either. Come on, Zuffa liquidates PRIDE for 60 million, because Dana White wants the PRIDE library? Don't beleive the hype, the UFC is banking, and in no trouble for now, if for some crazy reason ratings drop dramatically, then thier in trouble. Right now, they are sitting pretty. “…As a privately held company, Zuffa is under no public reporting obligations. As a result very little financial information is made public.
