When TKO stock eventually hits $176 a share, Ari Emanuel’s multi-monopoly combat powerhouse that includes UFC & WWE will have a stock market cap of $30 billion.
What does a $30 billion valuation look like? It’s like taking the valuation of the Jerry Jones Dallas Cowboys empire — and multiplying it by three. It’s five times the valuation of the Los Angeles Lakers. Six times the valuation of the New York Knicks.
How did Ari Emanuel, the King of Hollywood, build this monstrous sports and media property?
In this unpredictable economy — where Las Vegas couldn’t give away hotel rooms during Super Bowl week, where ESPN+ subscriptions are declining and Peacock subs are flat — how is TKO riding an enormous wave of technicals boatracing business fundamentals?
This week’s edition of The MMA Draw Podcast with Nate Wilcox and Zach Arnold takes an in-depth look at the financial, legal, and political maneuverings behind the most audacious and monopolistic fight promoter in world history.
How did Ari Emanuel manage to create a combat sports version of Standard Oil?
Once you see how strings are pulled, it will forever change the way you look at fights. As a fan, as a customer, and as a taxpayer.
A super-majority of fight fans have absolutely no idea that TKO is a government contractor. They are largely clueless about who Ari Emanuel is, what Endeavor is, and how Endeavor runs the media business.
Ari Emanuel is everywhere you look. He’s at the Super Bowl. He’s at Knicks games. He’s at Laker games. He’s hanging out with Elon Musk. He’s now part of Elon’s team to try to buy OpenAI from Sam Altman.

The world’s elite are represented by Ari Emanuel’s promotional machine.
