If you are looking to have a bet on Paddy Power's 'Who Will Buy The UFC?' market, you might only have a few more hours left to punt.
The top story in this week's issue of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that the private bidding process deadline will pass today and that it will then be up to the current owners (The Fertitta Brothers, January Capital and Dana White) to accept or decline what is on the table.
It has been estimated that some of the bids could be in the range of $4 billion dollars.
A market where PaddyPower.com customers could wager on the outcome of this process was published in May. The following parties were in the running:
Dalian Wanda Group 4/9 (-225 US)
China Media Capital 5/2 (+250 US)
The Blackstone Group 6/1 (+600 US)
WME/IMG 10/1 (+1,000 US)
I went over the market in a post published on May 11th. Upon hearing the news of today's deadline, I went back to the website to check out the current odds, They were unchanged from over a month ago.
Dave Meltzer notes that - if the sale does go through - the announcement will more than likely be held off until UFC 200 'at the earliest'.
This leads me to suspect that rumours and conjecture might end up coming into play if this market is still active beyond today.
The market, if it is still available, can be found under 'Sports Novelties' on the A-Z menu at PaddyPower.com.
