UFC Lawsuit: Plaintiffs Want Top Rank's Financials, May Seek Enormous Damages | Forbes
Paul Gift Provides Insight on Antitrust Lawsuit Filed by the UFC
Pepperdine Graziadio Associate Professor of Economics Paul Gift, PhD, writes in Forbes about an antitrust lawsuit filed against the UFC by former fighters. Dr. Gift covers
the class-action lawsuit as it transitions from the discovery stage into the expert
stage. Notably, the plaintiffs made a last-minute motion to obtain financial documents
from boxing promoter Top Rank and depose its president Bob Arum. Dr. Gift notes that
this motion might be more about damages, and he assesses what the fighters might end
up claiming.
