Title: PRIDE for sale!
Post by: torquemada on December 04, 2006, 02:16:20 PM
According to Sherdog and MMA.tv, Dream Stage is looking to sell PRIDE.  There's already some speculation about the UFC and WWE being interested.  Dana, get moving! ;D

If Vinnie Mac weren't involved, I would let Pride implode, then pick up the pieces.  With Bodog, WWE, Zuffa will have to hustle to pick up the necessary talent.

It's a rumor and nothing more. Should be interesting to see. I would actually expect K-1 Heroes to grab most of the talent should that happen to PRIDE.

Trigg just dispelled the rumors on that MMA beatdown show or w/e it is. Apparently DSE was approached by a few different companies wanting to buy it but they flat out refused. Apparently PRIDE is doing quite well for itself right now. I guess it's a shame we won't see Fedor fight Sylvia/Arlovski/Vera 3-on-1 anytime soon.  :'(

Trigg's been popping his mouth off about some monumental acquisition PRIDE made over the UFC. People are speculating it could be Angle getting signed.....along with 30 other rumors. Never know, though.

Trigg is also saying the rumors of DSE selling Pride is not true as well.  He is a company man, so you don't really know how much of it is true.
