I don't know the value of the IFL, but I know that I have heard on a couple different occasions that Pride is carrying a considerable amount of debt. I know the IFL is debt free. So if your figure on IFL is correct, then that may explain why Pride sold for cheaper.

So I'm going to believe it and say that Maddonna was right again.

Yep, Maddonna was right

The IFL also doesn't have an assload of debt and no TV deal.

Battle of the Big Talkers.

Leading up to this, we'll see who talks the biggest. And in the end, we'll see who can back it up.

I'm gonna enjoy this one.

IFL is also over valued by speculative public trading. Analysts all over are waiting for the bottom to fall out on it. Personally I'ld stay away from that stock till it turns a profit.

And remember stock = debt.

Not only that, HOW are the going to pay that many top fighters?

How is it going to be fair when you got Crocop, Chuck, and Tito taking huge chucks of the PPV revenue, it's going to be difficult to pay the costs of Pride production in Japan and what not.

Maybe the brothers bought a part of Pride.
