I read that the Pride purchase was made for less than $70 million. Although Pride seemed to be clearly a top 2 org (with the UFC), the "minor league" IFL has a valuation of over $300 million. That's just for the publickly traded part and this number has been considerably higher at recent times.

So is this just a market mistake, or is there really more value in the IFL organization? If so, where does it come from? Maybe being American-based or having a better TV arrangement?

IFL doesn't have assets valued at 300 million, it has a market cap of 300 million. In other words, the IFL is overvalued and speculting investors are holding stock currently valued at 300 million hoping the IFL takes off.

The valuation is almost never an assett value for any publicly-traded company.

But if the UFC was going to buy the IFL tomorrow, they would have to do so for a pricetag of over $300 million. It might not be worth it in the long run, but I'm not going to sell my $9 shares to Zuffa for $6.

IFL is a dot.com. Overinflated based on nothing and it will crash after they start reporting revenue, RONA, etc...
