Fishman is the president of Pride. He's Dana White only for Pride instead of the UFC. Fishman wanting to buy the company might not be entirely true. I highly doubt that Sakakibara (owner of Pride) would sell his beloved Pride FC. Ed Fishman is an American, and if you ask me the problem with Pride coming to the states is that its too Japanese. I forone like it, however the American fans arent interested in supporting the Japanese. that is why i see this happening, so at pre fight Pride conferences in the states they have someone who can communicate without a translator.
These are just my thoughts and they could very well be wrong. But if you ask me, either way Pride will benefit.
