Jeff,

The Fertitta brothers are the guys Dana White got the seed money to buy the UFC when it was floundering a couple decades ago, which has since exploded and is now wildly successful. They are into a lot of things, including casinos and resorts, and have been for a long time. They have apparently sold their stake in the UFC, but I'm they are still heavily imbedded in the casino and hospitality industry. They are the definition of "loaded".

Thanks. Brad.

And his a breathtaking video by Clint Jenkis celebrating a remarkable collaboration at the highest levels of go-fast boat-building.

ok ! Big game for sure !!!

Had the pleasure of hanging out with Dana White and Lorenzo. It was cool talking to Lorenzo about boats. Both very nice guys and down to earth.

Did Drogon sell or does he still
have it? He had another skater before Drogon too. And he’s had a bunch of cigarettes over the years.


little blast from the past with his old builds (yacht and Tiger) before his yachts lonian and Hodor.

Fertitta Family is an oldtime mob family.
 

This is now the 4th generation Fertitta family at play. Their family is the mobsters that put Galveston, Texas, on the map in the prohibition era.

Incorrect, the Fertitta brothers bought UFC in early 2000’s for a couple million and hired their childhood friend, Dana White to run the operation. It’s an awesome story really!

VDRSNK,

Sort of. Dana, who had done some low-level boxing and, more importantly, promotion, went to the brothers (yes, childhood friends) and told them he knew what was wrong with the UFC as it stood, that he knew how to fix it. He asked them to front the money to buy it, and he would make it work for a 10% stake in the business. With that, the brothers formed Zuffa and gave Dana the reigns. After several years, with the UFC still underwater, "hemorrhaging money", as Dana put it, Dana actually asked if the brothers wanted to hang it up or stay the course, which they obviously chose the latter, citing that they were already "this deep", they might as well stick it out. In the end, it was all a matter of promotion, striking the right balance between "show and sport", and a contract with Spike TV, which Dana landed, pretty much sealing the deal and putting MMA in the mainstream. At one point in time, prior to Zuffa selling to WME-IMG, Dana's 10% stake was worth something north of $200M. Awesome success story, given as Dana had no real skin in the game, elbow equity aside. But it was Dana's baby from the start.

Thanks. Brad.
