As the UFC continues to grow in popularity, a recent report detailing the organization’s earnings reflects its portfolio has benefitted greatly as the company expands its audience and talent pool.
MMA reporter John Nash reported Friday the UFC earned over $1 billion through the first quarter of 2022 (April 1st, 2021 through March 31, 2022), per a credit analysis issued by investor service company Moody’s on May 25. The report also shows the promotion grossed a little over $1 billion in 2021, a double digit growth Moody’s credited to an increase in fan attendance.
The report comes 15 months after Hollywood talent agency Endeavor Group Holdings acquired full control of the UFC in March 2021 after previously a 50% stake in the company.
