UFC President Dana White sagte zum UFC Verkauf in einem Interview:
Nun ich glaube in vielen Faellen ist es besser man hat Leute die Fans von dem eigenem Produkt sind, und genau wissen wohin sie wollen und wie das Produkt sein soll, anstatt Medienprofis, die aber sich mit dem Produkt nicht so auskennen. Mal schauen wie es hier sein wird.
Emanuel und Whitesell haben folgende E-Mail letzte Woche an die UFC Fighter verschickt:
Zitat:“This is what they do. If you look at Frank, Lorenzo and I, when we got involved in this business we weren’t television or sports guys. We’ve never done any of that stuff. The thing about us is we were huge fight fans and we knew exactly what we wanted. We knew the product we wanted, we knew what we wanted it to look like, and we knew we wanted to put on the best fights that you could possibly put on.
WME co-CEOs Ari Emanuel and Patrick Whitesell are media guys. This is what they do. This is what they are good at. This is what they drive to work and do every day. So I think this brings so much to the table. Then, if you look at the IMG side, with production in other countries and everything else, once we get this thing dialed in, it’s gonna be awesome. I am excited for this next phase.”

Zitat:Our team’s been honored to represent UFC and work with a number of you on the entertainment side for the past few years. We’ve had a front row seat as both a partner and as a fan to witness your dedication to this sport and UFC’s remarkable work in growing MMA’s popularity and elevating the organization on a global scale.
We couldn’t be more excited for what the future holds for UFC and for all of you. As UFC’s new operating partner, we will be working with Dana and the UFC team to amplify the work that’s already been done by mobilizing all of the sports and entertainment assets we have available to us in our international network.
We look forward to working with you and welcome any ideas and feedback as we begin this new chapter together.
