Despite the controversy surrounding the Paramount-Skydance merger, this deal is a win for fans and consumers. Skydance is growing its business with the goal of offering more content for a lower price — a far cry from the old, expensive pay-per-view model. From television to ultimate fighting, companies like Skydance and TKO Group are pushing affordability in an increasingly expensive world.
This deal is more political than economic, as Skydance has been working to gobble up several media companies to push specific political narratives. The UFC also has demonstrated far-right geopolitical views. The media should not be run by a handful of billionaires who wish to use their streaming services to push one-sided narratives.
