Ah sure there is always the rubber match with Nate for him and UFC fall back on.

Thats the only big money fight i see for him at moment

He is looking for shares which is fair enough. Smart move to look after his future. They might settle on some kind of share option scheme, that Conor can buy in at a preferential price which many companies offer to employees.

Can anyone own shares in a company?

Its a consortium of 24 people own the UFC, they would need to dilute their shares to give to him a % or he could buy in.

I think its a pretty poor investment to be a part of, it will never be worth more than what they paid. Pre McGregor UFC wouldn't have went for anywhere near 4.2 billion.

How much do they give him? 1% is $42m.

He's a loss or 2 away from adding zero value to your brand/investment aswell. It doesn't bode well if your biggest star is someone who hasn't won an MMA fight since Nov 16.

As a private company they would have their own internal share price for investors.

Its is not publicly traded so the market does not determine the price. But everyone who has invested owns a certain amount of shares in the company. As its private they set the price internally using a market benchmark, but it really dependent on how much new investors are willing to pay. Or how much existing owners want for a share.

Existing shareholders would be reluctant to dilute their shares unless there was investment capital coming in. But could do it in place of bonus or ancillary payments to Conor.

The value of the shares will decrease, bit pedantic mellor

‘Pedantic’ is being kind. It was just plain wrong.
Just because shares aren’t publicly quoted doesn’t mean they don’t have a value and that value can obviously go up and down.

Mellor isn't being pedantic in the slightest. There is no share price here.

There is a company valuation, that will only ever become a concept if they were considering selling. The price is whatever they say it is, if they were ever to try to sell.

When is Khabib back?? He seems to be training now.
No other fight will bring in the ppv/cash that Khabib x Mcgregor 2 does. And may as well do it straight away as opposed to taking the risk that Conor could lose to another. And now they have an even better back story for it than in the lead-up to 1. Would love to see it headline MSG but guess the ufc would want it in Vegas. So September??

They don't unilaterally have the right to sell their shares.

Seriously, this is Junior Cert Pass Business Studies level stuff. The fact you don't understand it isn't my fault.

Some (potential) fight news:

If McGregor fought for and won the interm belt before then it would he huge

And then if he beat khabib his profile will be huge again

True. If Conor could beat Max in July/Aug and then beat Khabib in msg in November, that would be dreamland and he would have redeemed his past bad behavior. And then give Nate a shot at the title in spring 2020.

Nothing to gain and everything to lose with Diaz 3 at this stage

He proves nothing by beating him again, it proves nothing in the grand scheme of things, but if Diaz got the job done then it's a bigger dent to him than Khabib was

Pussyhands wrote: »

Diaz 3 is a terrible fight. What does it even matter? Diaz is a journeyman who's 13 in the LW rankings.

Rankings shmankings! It's about the history between the two fighters, the build up, the trash talk and the fact that we already know it's a great match up because the last one was an absolute classic.

Who cares about rankings?

CMOD:

Just going to reiterate what was already said about what is on topic or off topic.

If the company were split into 24 independent shares, that owners could sell. That’s maybe that’s how it would work. But that's not how the UFC is owned.

The 24 invested money in the parent company. They don’t own a 1/24th share. If McGregor retires, and Donny Wahlberg wants to buy in. WME could easily tell him the prices is still whatever Mark Wahlberg paid in 2016 (for example).
There's no obligation to track market value. That's was my point.

On the trilogy fight, he made a few remarks about it that weren't included in the first posting of this clip (from wherever the hell he was).

That’s a tad simplistic Mellor
If you own 1/24th of the parent company and all the parent company owns is the UFC, then you own 1/24th of the UFC. And selling your share in the parent company is the effectively selling your share in the UFC.

McGregor leaving would of course impact on the value of the shares. But like owning shares in a public company or a house, you don’t have to sell when the value is low. And if you do want to sell, maybe you can convince a purchaser that the value is higher than normal valuation metrics would imply. The value is whatever a willing buyer and willing seller decide it is.
