Ari Emanuel says TKO Group Holdings will never be sold.
Speaking with Matt Belloni on The Town while promoting his book, Roll the Calls, Emanuel was asked who the ideal buyer for TKO would be. His answer was “TKO.”
When Belloni suggested the company will eventually be put up for sale, Emanuel said, “No, it won’t. No. Never.”
Emanuel pointed to the value of the company’s sports properties.
“Sports is the greatest reality show of all time. Owning sports assets… we own four leagues. It’s an incredible asset. The value is going up and to the right.”
He said a sale is not something he or Silver Lake’s Egon Durban would consider.
“Egon Durban, myself, there’s no chance that that’s happening. Zero.”
TKO is the parent company of WWE and UFC.
