Supposedly WWE's new tv contract has the potential to be worth less than their current deal.
Doesn't seem NBC & USA Network is going to budge on their range and other potential networks currently see WWE worth half of what UFC got offered from FOX.

The article also noted that WME are still dealing with issues in regard to selling a new UFC TV deal to cable networks. The UFC deal is estimated to be worth around $200 million, half of what WWE is currently estimated as being worth.
