Comcast is also offering to pay the 1.525B termination fee + 2.5B breakup fee if it's blocked by regulators for a total 4.025B on top of the 65B offered to 21CF.

It's annoying that my posts with URL links have to wait for moderator approval.
Regardless, it's a great bid. 65B + assumption of debt + 2.5B guarantee if regulators block it + 1.525B to pay Disney if Fox walks away.
I don't think Disney will come up with a better bid.

Lets see they keep dropping there internet connection on purpose, harass there costumers who want to cancel, and violating lots of laws to the point they would be bankrupt.

I'm not saying I agree with them, but they're not going anywhere, man.
As for this acquisition nonsense, you can thank Mitch McConnell for all this.

No such thing as stealing once you don’t actually need it anymore.
Need I give you the OBVIOUS daily example of it?

Exactly...I have a couple of VPs across town that have horses more valuable on their farm than what ran in the Belmont last week.
I know this is a Disney site...but this is koolaid to the max. Comcast isn’t in trouble

Reason why Comcast is probably the favorite now is just because with cable at least being a short-term cash cow; they can afford to just pile cash onto any offer and then restrict their dividend growth to pay down debt for 5-6 years after the transaction.
And given that Comcast was a highly taxed business, with the tax cuts, their cash flow has increased by 40+% this year..., which enables them to carry much higher debt loads.
Comcast operating income is around $22-23 billion a year.
Disney operation income is around $15-16 billion a year.
For Comcast, adding an extra $5-10 billion in debt to any offer is not that difficult to overcome.

Sure seems like Disney is gonna lose this bigtime...
They pick up hasbro? A primarily toy company when toys are in trouble...
Video games? High cost/low yield.
Sony would be nice...don’t see it though.
Viacom or cbs...
