Why didn't Saban Brands try to buy Fox

Original Power Rangers · 12/26/17, 11:39 PM

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.

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.

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

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.

I think Saban still owns Univision.

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

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

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

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.
