About This Item
New York: Simon & Schuster. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 2023. First Edition. First Printing; Hardcover. 1501198475 . 6 1/4 x 9 1/4 x1 1/4"; xxvii, 413 pages; Hard cover has black spine with gold lettering. Slight rubbing to covers. DJ has faint rubbing, scuffing; in a mylar cover. Pages are clean and tight. 'Decried as “human cockfighting” by Senator John McCain and dismissed by the New York Times as a “pay-per-view prism” onto the decline of Western civilization, the UFC seemed by 2000 to be bleeding out. The cage fighting promotion had been banned in thirty-six states and was struggling to cover production costs for its next event. But three buddies in Las Vegas—an ambitious personal trainer and two young casino heirs—saw something else in the UFC: a vision of the future. Over the next two decades, the trio would transform the company into one of the most valuable sports properties in the world, worth more than the Beatles catalog or the New York Yankees. And along the way, they would also transform the lives of some of the sport’s biggest stars, both for better and worse.' Index. .
