Endeavor group with UFC
A Hollywood entertainment corporation called Endeavor makes investments in various companies in the entertainment sector. However, ever since they acquired the UFC, it has become by far their primary source of revenue. That was only made worse by the coronavirus outbreak, which also cost them money by destroying many of their other enterprises.
Before the pandemic, UFC contributed 50% of Endeavor’s revenue; after the virus, that percentage rose to over 80%. The UFC is one of the few businesses globally, particularly in the entertainment and sports sectors, that the pandemic hasn’t significantly impacted.
