But UFC have a big future ? I think not...popularity is decrease over and over.

I prefer Disney.

Who is saying that it will be one and not the other?

As I said earlier in the thread there is plenty of room for lots of partners.

News on this UFC investment was posted on BM a few years back. There has already been an event in Abu Dhabi and events in Manchester (MEN arena)

The size of UFC is just crazy when I think back to years ago before people like Dana White even invested in it.

I'd like to see an indoor events arena, and would love Ice Hockey and MMA there.

I'd like to see a number of indoor facilities (some multi-use) for things such as:

opera, theatre, symphonies, and other "performing arts" etc. Art exhibitions and classes...good grief, if anyone could get all known Vermeers under one roof for a time!!!! chess tournaments, darts, snooker, and the like. I can see the press releases now: "The New York Met will perform Aida (what else?) for a month at The Sheikha Manal Opera House at the Manchester City FC Sports and Arts Campus from August... ."

you can stop laughing.

So Gary Cook is involved. ;-)

Watch the shit hit the fan when this comes out properly. The Rags, Arsenal, and their fans will be fuming. Not to mention Chelsea and Liverpool. F***ing love it!:-)

The Manchester City Arena has a nice ring to it :)

As people keep harking back to "..site of national and international significance..." I'm wildly stabbing in the dark that if we got an arena, that wouldn't be "only" it would it?

Blames other sporting events?

How about looking at the ticket pricing first, it was around £100 for the cheapest seats!

[Kompany is King]

Its a fantastic way of letting news leak out.

I think we covered the links to AD and UFC on here quite well both before and after Garry Cook's employment.

And there are enough of us who expect that "mini"-multi purpose arena on the collar site now.

Its an ideal marriage and no doubt just one of a few similar projects that will involve IP sales.

Remember that anything that uses the MCFC badge or brand is OK for FFP revenue purposes wherever it happens globally.

All good.
