Cuban reportedly in discussions with WWE about new "MMA promotion"
On Wednesday, September 12, 2007 at 5:03 PM EST According to an article on MMAWeekly.com, Dallas Mavericks and HDNet owner Mark Cuban talked about the debut of his new MMA promotion "HDNet Fights" and how he has been in discussions with the WWE recently about it.
"We’ve been in discussions with the WWE, Vince and Linda McMahon and Shane about doing some cross promotions under the HDNet Fights banner. Since they do a great job of putting together events, within some of the restraints that I talked about, the no ring girls and obviously the events have to be straight up, there’s no scripted anything, but they want to get into that side of the business. They realize that if they just brand it as WWE, that people aren’t going to believe that it’s not scripted, but if they work with Mark Cuban and HDNet Fights and the Dallas Mavericks approach, then people will trust it."
