I'm not sure if you listen to Live Audio Wrestling, but the host (Dan Lovranski) told Dave (who hasn't seen the 60 Minutes special yet) how 60 Minutes said Dana White came in and cleaned up the UFC. Dave was pretty unpleased about that, since he talked to the 60 Minutes people and told them NOT to say that since it's the biggest lie.
Thanks for bringing that up! I used to listen to the LAW every week, but after they cut back on their archiving and internet availability I gave up on them. Now it looks like you can get at least the most recent show from their website so I'm going to start listening again. Haven't listened to this show yet, but Dave said something similar on WOL. I didn't think the thing on UFC cleaning up the rules was too bad, because they never explicitly attributed it to White and Zuffa. They kind of implied it to where you might get that impression if you didn't pay close attention but I didn't think it was egregious. Overall I thought the piece was okay. Not the highest of praise, but definitely could have been worse.
Anyone want to comment on CBS inferring that UFC does 700,000 ppv buys at $40 a pop claiming $28 million in ppv revenue and they do 14 shows like that a year?
