Would it really be a Real Meltzer article without a few typos? The guy is one of the best in the business, but he needs to learn the concept of spell check.

Oh stop being vaginal and just spill the beans. If you just add a ‘might be’ beforehand, then that’s good enough! Come on … join the rest of the trashy MMA blogs as we gossip like bitches in a beauty salon

[...] world of mixed martial arts, but this is just getting so weird that even I’m doubting myself. Japan is a strange place, where fight promoters can say they’re hosting Fedor vs Jesus Christ on the moon and people [...]

Oh my god, it’s Ted Turner isn’t it. Or that guy who tried to be his MMA-equivalent anyway.

Oh come on Zach, spill the beans. Is it Sakakibara you’re on about or what? If so, just say it. If you’re wrong, no big deal – it’s still just a rumour, after all. This is your second attempt at a tease over this, and I’m hereby giving you the reaction you’re seeking… Now let’s hear the details.

Ed. — I’m not naming anyone (if it was Sakakibara, I would have said already) until I am certain and confident. This is not for teasing purposes, but rather because I am tentative…

From the CNBC report on the UFC:

” It all is expected to pass $1 billion in video on demand revenue”

Good lord! I guess that would have to include all of the PPV buys on UFC.com, individual fight purchases on UFC.com, PPV replay services on cable and satellite on-demand systems, and individual fight purchases on Xbox Live Video Marketplace.

I think that must be a typo. It can’t possibly be $1 billion, although the UFC’s gross PPV revenues are indeed in the hundreds of millions. I would think that maybe CNBC accidentally typed “billion” instead of “million,” but the previously listed revenue streams would almost certainly add up to more than $1 million.
