Is this some kinda of joke or what?
I think im starting to believe Dave Meltzers newsletter about the ufc's extreme money problems.

The hemorrhaging of cash the UFC suffered in its expansion to the UK is well documented, but most agree it will be a worthwhile endeavor in the long run.

A lot of well respected sports writers are talking about the ufc hemorrhaging cash
-When a company does mass layoffs its usually a bad thing…
- The TUF show on Spike is the lowest in its history. The ratings are dropping off weekly and Iron Ring is catching them fast
- The last 3 UFNs were a complete bust ratings wise, barley anyone watched them outside of the hardcore fans
-The $325 Million Debt
- They couldnt secure a Network TV deal or a deal with HBO
- The Pride $85 Million buy which ended up worth nothing.
Huge Roster Hits:
Travis Lutter
Randy Cotore (Couldnt afford to pay)
Tim Sylvia (Couldnt afford to pay)
Tito Ortiz
Andrei Arlovski (Couldnt afford to pay)
Drew Fickett (Couldnt afford to pay)
Jake O'Brien
Mirko Cro Cop (Couldnt afford to pay)
My question is, with the UFC losing money hand over fist and EXC just getting on CBS and getting promoted far beyond what the ufc has ever dreamed of, are we seeing a passing of tthe proverbial "Promotional Torch"?
