Why didn't Saban Brands try to buy Fox

[Original Power Rangers]

Disney was able to get an agreement to by 20th Century Fox. I think it was a mistake for Saban Brands not to get invovled. It would have been a great way to grow the company. Amd they probably could have purchased all of Fox without any regulator concerns.

[MattEmily]

that's a good question and regulators still have to approve the Fox/Disney deal so it's not a done deal yet but that's probably the main issue Fox only wanted to sell off certain assets but not its whole company.

[Original Power Rangers]

But they still could have bought just those assets if Fox said no to the other stuff .

[VR Master]

I don't think Saban Brands is a big enough company to make those kind of deals. They don't own much besides Power Rangers.

[No Green Spandex]

I think Saban still owns Univision.

[Captain Mutiny]

Disney was always going to make this deal. They were the clear frontrunners. Saban Brands can't outbid Disney. Even Comcast didn't.

[Saban Fan]

I would have loved to have seen what Saban Brands would have done with the X Men movies.

[Sailor Saban]

Saban would have brought the Fantastic Four back to prominence with his would be grand plan.

[Tzachor Era]

Tzachor would have been a great choice to control those brands.

they probably didn't think about it or didn't want to buy all of what Fox wanted to get rid of it was probably a case of either going by what Fox wanted or nothing at all.

[Movie Ranger]

I'm more surprised Fox didn't buy Power Rangers themselves, I'm talkong hen Dis 36n sold it. Which would have been funny since Disney would have just bought PR back by default again.

true but no one can beat the global giants of Disney and Viacom who likely own 80% of Hollyword and TV-related stuff.

I think Saban still owns Univision.

it was sold to Broadcasting Media Partners so I think they only partially own it.

Then they should have bought Fox.

[Movie Ranger]

why would they want it?

They aired the show before. I figured they might want in on the brand again. Plus they are a bigger company than Saban Brands.

[Disney Ranger]

I'm still surprised that Disney didn't hold onto the brand until they wanted to use it. But I am surprised they didn't trade Power Rangers to Fox for Fantasic Four.

In regards to the Fox deal now? Once Disney wants something they get it. No one would be aboe to outbid them. Its better for the American Consumers that Disney ended up with 20 Century Fox anyway.

Why ? It creates more of a monopoly if this gets approved. Thats never good for consumers. As fun as it is to speculate about how Marvel would deal with X Men or Fantastic Four. It just gives the company way too much power .

I wouldn't worry anout that too much. Disney isn't like other companies. They always do the right thing for consumers.

Thats fantasy level delusion. Disney is just like any other company and will do whats best for their bottom line.

[Tommy Hater]

I would rather keep X Men its own separate movie franchise but thats probably not what Marvel will do.

[Captain Codfish]

Haim Saban is a billionaire but I don't think he is willing to put the ammount of his own personal wealth to take this risk. Saban Brands isn't funded to be as big as Disney. Thry just own PR ane a few other brands! Univision was before and is a separste thing.

[Tommy's Dragonzord]

Would be pretty wierd considering he sold all the Fox properties he once owned.He could have just bought out Fox and went on his own instead of selling to Disney.

[Ultra Fan Blue]

Saban Brands had no interest. Only Disney and Comcast seemed to have real interest.And Comcast didn't get very far. Disney was the main buyer from the beginning.

I am surprised CBS didn't make a serious run. Since they are have their own streaming service. And may or may not be associated with Paramount Pictures if CBS and Viacom ever reverse their split. But there is nothing saying CBS couldn't run 20th Century Fox if the regulators approved it.

[PRangerX]

I don't feel like anyone was gonna make the deal except for Disney.
