@thedailybeast: The UFC hemorrhaged money with Donald Trump’s big White House birthday bash. The promotion, led by his ally Dana White, lost a staggering $30 million in its bid to give the president what he wanted, as he turned 80 in June. The Freedom 250 event saw 4,300 people descend on the White House’s South Lawn, with tens of thousands more on the nearby Ellipse, to watch Justin Gaethje defeat Ilia Topuria at the top of the bill. TKO Group Holdings Inc. chief financial officer Andrew Schleimer told investors on Monday that, “Given the event’s profile, which as anticipated, resulted in an approximate $30m loss, our margins at UFC as well as on a consolidated basis were meaningfully impacted,” BBC reports. TKO said it had been anticipating the loss, but had gained brand exposure and media deals, and still saw revenue growth in the second quarter. Bloomberg reports that on a conference call, UFC said the expenditure would pay off in the long run, claiming the event itself had been a “roaring success.” Read the full story at the link in bio. ____________________ Photos by Evan Vucci/Jacquelyn Martin/REUTERS #UFC #trump #trumpbirthday #freedom250 #whitehouse

The UFC's estimated net worth reached $23 billion as of December 2025, driven by pay-per-view revenue, global events, and a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount+ in late 2025. 👍🤣🤣🤣
