Greg Tingle Official Blog: News Corp tabloids struggle to hit ambitious subscriptions targets

News Corp tabloids struggle to hit ambitious subscriptions targets
Subscriber growth at News Corporation’s local tabloids has stalled as the publisher grapples with how to reach an ambitious goal to increase the number of readers who pay for news.
The internal figures, contained in filings in New York overnight, show the total number of subscribers at The Daily Telegraph in Sydney, the Herald Sun in Melbourne, the Courier Mail in Brisbane and the Adelaide Advertiser was at 547,411 as of June 30. That is down almost 2 per cent in a year.
The figures include subscribers to the newspaper and the publications online. They show a fall of more than 10,300 across the mastheads.
The one bright spot for News Corp was the performance of The Australian, the company’s national masthead. The figures show the number of subscribers has grown 15 per cent to 318,417 in the past 12 months.
News Corp Australia’s executive chairman Michael Miller said the company had 1.1 million subscribers across all of its publications – across The Australian and the tabloid newspapers that number stands at 865,828 – and the publisher had set itself a target of two million subscribers.
The new figures, however, show the difficulty of that task. News Corp tabloid newspapers, once with significant reach, were the source of the company’s influence in state and federal politics. Much of that audience has since drifted to other publications, including the company’s free news.com.au.
The Telegraph has 152,457 print and digital subscribers, the numbers show, up just 4641 in 12 months. The Herald Sun gained 4861 subscribers to hit 150,887, while the Courier Mail lost 6575 subscribers. It now has 140,532 online and print subscribers. The Advertiser lost 5807 subscribers, or some 7 per cent, to fall to just over 103,500 by June 30.
As first reported by The Australian Financial Review in June, News Corp is relying on deeper cost cuts and higher print advertising sales to make up for lower-than-expected digital advertising and subscription revenues.
Figures contained in a presentation given to staff by Mr Miller that month showed digital advertising was expected to add 19 per cent less than forecast as a proportion of its budget bottom line in the year to June 30. The proportion from subscriptions was 12 per cent below forecasts.
But those declines were offset by other areas such as print advertising, which grew its share of revenue by 12 per cent on company forecasts, and cuts to expenses, which added an extra 2 per cent in savings.
News Corp has cut more than $US160 million ($245 million) in costs over the past six months, and last week delivered above-expected earnings despite a sharp 75 per cent fall in net profits. The company also owns publications including The Times of London, the Wall Street Journal, as well as Foxtel and stakes in REA Group and Move, a North American real estate platform.
Analysts and brokers, however, are bullish on the company’s prospects. At the time, Macquarie’s Darren Leung said more costs had been removed than expected, and earnings were 10 per cent ahead of forecasts for the last quarter.
Aitken Mount Capital Partners’ Angus Aitken hailed the results as “very strong”. “We think [News] is mispriced and can double, and that isn’t even an aggressive call,” he wrote in a note to his clients.
News Corp shares fell 2.3 per cent, or 78¢, during trade on the ASX on Wednesday to $33.11. They are up 20 per cent over the last six months.

Greg Tingle Official Blog: Crypto platforms a 'getaway' for half of scam reports

Crypto platforms a ‘getaway’ for half of scam proceeds
Half of all proceeds from fraud and financial scams in Australia are being washed through cryptocurrency platforms, according to data from the Australian Financial Crimes Exchange.
The not-for-profit group said data from its members, which include the big four banks, revealed that 47 per cent of scam funds were sent to accounts associated with cryptocurrency exchanges in the last 30 days of the financial year.
“Once funds have been transferred to crypto, it is extremely difficult to recover them.” said AFCX managing director David Pegley.
The consumer and competition watchdog has estimated that Australians lost more than $3 billion to financial scams last year and the role of cryptocurrency exchanges as a potential enabler has been a hotly debated issue. In June, the regulator reported consumers lost more than $38 million to scams over the month.
Although banks have sought to de-bank crypto exchanges, regarding them as an apparent blind spot in the financial system infrastructure, crypto industry insiders say it is social media and telco companies that allow scammers to access consumers.
Mr Pegley said the “funds are eventually channelled to organised crime organisations and facilitate their activities such as dealing in guns, drugs, and other crimes.”
The AFCX was created in 2015 so banks, financial institutions and law enforcement agencies could share information to prevent scams and financial crime. Its members include the big four banks, other lenders, Optus and the Department of Home Affairs.
Australian Banking Association chief executive Anna Bligh said the data showed that an alarming amount of scammed money was being laundered through cryptocurrency platforms, meaning funds were “virtually impossible to recover”.
“As well as stopping scams from reaching our phones, emails and social media, more needs to be done to ensure cryptocurrency is not used as the getaway vehicle for scam money stolen from Australians.
“To protect customers, several banks have responded by imposing limitations on transfers to these exchanges,” Ms Bligh said.
Commonwealth Bank, ANZ, National Australia Bank, Westpac and Bendigo & Adelaide Bank have all taken steps to limit transactions to “high-risk” crypto exchanges in recent months.
Although they have not publicly identified which exchanges were blocked, many have stopped transfers to Binance – the world’s largest exchange in terms of daily trading volume – as local and international regulators circle it.
In the US, the Securities and Exchange Commission has launched a lawsuit that alleges Binance and chief executive Changpeng Zhao “wilfully evaded” laws and ran an illegal exchange. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission also cancelled Binance’s local derivatives licence in April.
Blockchain Australia said that, while it appreciated that the banks were looking to protect consumers, a collaborative approach was needed to stop fraudulent activity. It is conducting a survey on the digital currency industry about the toll of de-banking on jobs and the sector.
“The protection of consumers is paramount, both in protection from scams and not burdening consumers with undue restrictions in who they choose to do business with, which must be evidence-based to ensure they bring genuine benefits without undue costs,” Blockchain Australia said.
The measures include additional verifications for first-time transfers, digital credit cards with security codes that change daily and additional detection technology.
Although banks and law enforcement agencies have investigated investment scams and made several arrests, the scale of financial crime has not subsided.
CBA last week said it had spent $750 million on scam detection while a rise customer losses from scams was a contributor to a $150 million in increased operating costs over the financial year.
The use of crypto exchanges to move stolen proceeds beyond the grasp of victims and law enforcement agencies has been apparent in the prevalent bond scams.
The Australian Financial Review first reported on the scam in January 2021 after a fake prospectus was circulated to prospective investors claiming to be from IFM Investors.
Since then, dozens of reputable investment firms have been cloned by scammers who have solicited funds from victims whose details were gathered by operating fake investment comparison websites.
The scammers either encouraged victims to deposit money into an account operated by a wholesale payment authorised deposit-taking institution that transacted payments on behalf of a crypto exchange.
But victims and their legal advisers have been left frustrated by blind spots in the financial system that have allowed their funds to be siphoned into crypto exchanges before vanishing.
They discovered that the responsibility to perform identity checks was passed around and authorised institutions would only conduct checks on their business customers and not the individual.
The exchanges in turn were also duped by scammers. In some instances, victims were asked to provide identity verification documentation such as images of their passport and a utility bill so scammers could open accounts at crypto exchanges in the victim’s name. In other instances, scammers told victims not to trust the exchanges when they sought to verify information.

Australian Sports and Politics Don't Mix finds Aussie PM, despite news media and sports media tip-off warnings
A tribute to the Matildas “incredible” World Cup run has been met with calls for a major injection of funding into the women’s game.
Aussie Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was one of the 75,000 fans who packed out to Sydney’s Olympic Park on Wednesday night to watch The Matilda's go down 3-1 in the semi-final.
Despite a number attempts on goal from captain Sam Kerr, including the moment of greatness in the 63rd minute that briefly tied the match, the Aussies couldn’t get over the line to put it mildly.
Post game Albanese was quick to run onto social media to lead the praise of the Matildas stars.
“You’ve given us all moments and memories that will last a lifetime,” he penned via X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.. you know, the bird is gone and its all about X!
“Every single Matilda has brought us joy throughout this @FIFAWWC. And I have no doubt that the next generation of Matildas were watching. We'll all be cheering for you on Saturday (in the play off for third).”
But some fans weren’t too pleased with Mr Albanese’s tribute, calling for him to put his money where his mouth is!
Flip the bird and grab the ball and run with it. The balls in your court. So, you wanna mix politics and sports. Oil and water. You're in the oil river now. Sink deeper or swim.

Combat Sports and Tech Billionaires Fight News Update
Zuckerberg vs. Musk fight not likely to happen, Meta owner says!
After weeks of posturing and social media wars the rumored fight between fellow billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk appears to be off - at least for now.
Zuckerberg posted on Meta's new social media platform Threads on Saturday that it is "time to move on." The Meta owner has frequently shared photos and videos of his jiu jitsu training in recent months.
"I think we can all agree Elon isn't serious and it's time to move on," Zuckerberg said. "If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me."
Zuckerberg added that UFC owner Dana White had agreed to make the fight official and use its proceeds for charity but Musk would not confirm a date. He also said Musk suggested a "practice round" in Zuckerberg's backyard.
The post from Zuckerberg comes a week after Musk claimed that the cage fight would be streamed on X with proceeds going to a veterans charity. On Friday he tweeted that the fight would be managed by Zuckerberg's foundations and not the UFC.
"The fight will be managed by my and Zuck's foundations (not UFC)," Musk tweeted. "Livestream will be on this platform and Meta. Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all. I spoke to the PM of Italy and Minister of Culture. They have agreed on an epic location."
The billionaires are still at loggerheads at time of publication.
"Zuck wants UFC, likely in Las Vegas. Must wants Italy at the Collesium no less. Musk want to support Vets. Zuck's got other ideas. To his defense Musk is currently doing rehab for an injury and needs more time. The world was and still may be buzzing for this fantasy dream match, but the buzz is starting to cool off", says Media Man, who have been following the saga from the get-go.
"Looks like the world still may get Logan Paul vs Jake Paul eventually and maybe even Roman Reigns vs Tai Tuivasa, Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Volk and Brock Lesnar vs Logan Paul one day in the future, but don't hold your breath for Musk vs Zuck for much longer", Media Man staff was overheard under the watercooler.
Musk added that the event would "pay respect to the past and present of Italy."
Comon' fellas, the world still wants this fight - in an Octagon or in a ring or on the mat of some nature. The viral Musk vs Zuck fantasy lives on via Media Man and other social media VR, AI and the like!

John WallStreet LinkedIn ESPN and PENN August 2023
JWS with excellent insight and Intel into the ESPN - PENN deal. To me at this stage of the game a ESPN - sports/gaming lifestyle b2b type deal such as this makes more sense and is a better Image match-up than the current and distancing relationship what ESPN has with Disney (but smartly appears to be moving away from). To my mind Disney is a damaged brand - many entertainment brands are but Disney is particularly embattled in my view. They picked the wrong political for in Ron DeSantis from Florida. College sports and the Daily Fantasy Sports sector is more "smash mouth" and "in your face" vibe, akin to MMA powerhouse the UFC. Is this PENN "tease" a deliberate market test of a rougher and more masculine version of ESPN without the mouse ears and political distractions of old? Is this at least part driven by Barstool Sports prior mega success in Daily Fantasy and sports betting news and services with attitude? This move and current vibe has caught my attention. We are open to affiliate b2b with ESPN and PENN, but not Disney these days - at least not with Disney s current political agendas and activism mindset and vibe). We line this ESPN - PENN paring and new handshake. Let's go. Bold and smart market mover Media Man says.

SEL's Nicola on what may be an A.I perfect storm brewing at Google Ads. People can and do make errors, and Google wants to learn from that! See the challenge already. Google's also been facing regulatory issues and government watchdog probes in a number of markets. At least Alphabet's Google is upfront and warns us there may be some inaccuracies. Creative accounting has been part of the advertising and certainly online advertising business sector since the beginning. We're getting some raw data from our ISPs and hosts etc and passing on select intel to our potential and current clients. The data drug! Google would be wise to also keep working on the human touch and how about more open media business days in Sydney like the one where we got to interview the Aussie PM at the time. More in person presentations by Google in Sydney, Australia thanks. Positive news awaiting for responsive big tech firms. Worked a charm for X Corp/Twitter so why not 'The Big G'. Google us.

Eddie Hearn Slams Boxing Skills Of Jake Paul and Nate Diaz
Being a top promoter in the world of boxing, Eddie Hearn has shown appreciation for the success of Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz. With that said, he’s also seen a ton of far more seasoned athletes in the sweet science. Via MMA Fighting - “The MMA Hour,” Hearn discussed the boxing skills of Paul and Diaz.
“It was awful”..“Don’t get me wrong, the event was unbelievable. You did a great job. Brilliant. But when you’re talking about - you know MMA like the back of your hand. I know boxing like the back of my hand, and I’m watching that like [face in his hands], ‘This is so bad.’ The reason that Nate didn’t get stopped is that Jake didn’t have the ability. He doesn’t know how to break a fighter down, cut off the ring, beat him up, and stop him. But I give my props to Nate: super tough. Super tough. But you’re talking about low, low level in terms of standard.” #boxingnews #boxing #eddiehearn #quote #promoter #promotions #JakePaul #NateDiaz #sportsnews #sportsbiz #sportsmedia #media

Elon Musk of X @X Corp Claims Mark Zuckerberg Refused Fight At Roman Colosseum
Tech tsar Elon Musk says he isn't the one holding up a battle of the billionaires with Mark Zuckerberg ... claiming Tuesday the Meta King is actually the one who turned down a potential fight at Italy's Colosseum.
The X Corp founder took to X (formally Twitter) just minutes ago to explain his side of the situation ... saying after the two men had initially agreed to fight, Rome offered up one of the Seven Wonders of the World for the guys to scrap in.
But, according to Elon, Zuck just flat-out didn't want to do it.
"Zuck declined," Musk said emphatically.
That's when he said he offered to fight in Zuckerberg's backyard Octagon instead.
"I suggested his home as 'safe space,'" Musk said. "Tragically, he was ahem 'traveling.'"
Zuck, meanwhile, has offered up a completely different version of the situation, saying on Threads earlier this week that he was moving on from the battle ... because he didn't believe Musk was serious at all about the fight.
"I offered a real date".."Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity. Elon won't confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead."
"If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me. Otherwise, time to move on. I'm going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously."
Zuckerberg is now exploring a fight in the UFC.
Media Man half joked, "So Zuck want a fight in the UFC, or maybe ONE Championship otherwise. How about they bring in either Jake Paul, Logan Paul, KSI, or even a somewhat long awaited return of CM Punk (Phillip Brooks). The Paul Bros are much strong draws, but KSI is ultra tough and a draw also. Between Zuck, UFC, the Paul Bros, Misfits and co they should be able to sort it out. Not certain Musk is still going to be able to stream the fight via X but don't write it off yet. This recent news may just spark Musk to conceed to fight in the Octagon in Vegas or wherever. Could be part of the negotiation process knowing Musk. May the best promoter and may the best fighter win. In fairness, round 6 of the online fight to Zuck after our fight cards showing Musk winning the majority of the prior. It ain't over till it's over".

Wrestling /WWE @WWE News: Mike Rotunda believes Bray Wyatt will return to WWE 'hopefully shortly'
The father of Bray Wyatt feels his son will be coming back to WWE soon.
Appearing at WrestleCon over the weekend, former WWE and WCW star Mike Rotunda (IRS) told Sportskeeda that he feels Wyatt will be back "hopefully shortly."
"You read a lot of stuff on the internet which I wouldn't believe a lot of or, in my case, any of it. Bray Wyatt...I'm sure he will return to WWE, hopefully shortly, and we'll go from there".
Some wrestling fans are hoping Wyatt forms a clan/faction/cult in the WWE. Names being talked about with hardcore fans include Riddick Moss, Emma, Karrion Kross, Scarlett, Cameron Grimes, Raven and a possible return of Erik.
Did someone just say "Follow The Buzzards", "Follow The White Rabbit", or both?

TMZ Sports.. Zuck vs Musk. Not this week. Maybe not ever. How about dream matches of Zuck vs either Jake Paul, Logan Paul or even KSI? Perhaps even CM Punk returns to the UFC? Odds might be 500 or 1000 to one, but these matches would draw. It's not like Zuck vs Brock Lesnar, Ken Shamrock or Dan Severn for example. Ok, maybe vs a mascot that Conon McGregor went a few seconds about two months ago. Even odds vs a mascot?

MMA News; Boss adds on potential of Zuck vs Musk
Chatri Sityodtong from ONE Championship @ONEChampionship
ONE Boss calls out X Corp's Elon Musk: “I am compelled to say something”
Mr Sityodtong criticized Musk for his “bullying” tactics. This comes after the latter said he’d confront Zuck at his home.
“I normally don’t like to get involved in other people’s spats, but I am compelled to say something on the latest development of the potential fight between Mark Zuckerberg vs Elon Musk,” the ONE boss scribed in his Facebook post on Tuesday, August 15.
“A few hours ago, Elon said that he was planning to show up to Mark’s house to fight him. Elon is one of the greatest entrepreneurs in history and I have a lot of respect for his guts, accomplishments, and intellect. However, I dislike bullying of any kind.”
The beef reached new highs (or lows) when X Corp's Musk claimed to have spoken with Italian authorities about arranging a fight at the historic Colosseum in Rome, Italy.
Zuckerberg expressed his willingness to fight Musk under one condition, though. He wants to stage the event in either ONE Championship or the UFC @ufc These are the world's leading combat sports organizations by earnings, reach, broadcasting and media footprint, demo etc.
The Meta chief’s prime stipulation didn't go down well with Musk. That led the X Corp boss to respond in a harsh fashion.
This didn’t sit well with Sityodtong, who initially offered to host the potential super-fight.
“Elon genuinely knows nothing about fighting or martial arts despite his claims to the contrary. As a lifelong expert martial artist who has been in my fair share of scraps, I can tell simply by the way he is acting,” Sityodtong wrote.
“The problem with most men who have never fought and/or trained seriously in martial arts is exactly what Elon is doing. They have a false sense of bravado and no understanding or appreciation for what technical skills and knowledge can do in a fight.”
Sityodtong views Zuckerberg besting Musk.
It remains uncertain whether the proposed MMA bout between Musk and Zuckerberg will ever become a reality, but if the fight does come to life, Chatri Sityodtong believes the Meta chief will emerge victorious.
“Mark will likely choke Elon unconscious in a fight. Elon could win by a lucky punch due to his size and weight,” Sityodtong tipped.
“However, Mark is in fighting shape and Elon is not. Mark has the gas tank for 3 rounds and Elon has the gas tank for 3 minutes.”
Media Man awarded round 6 of the Musk vs Zuck online social media war to Zuck, after Musk winning most other rounds on points, and seems now ONE's Sityodtong has stepped in as a ref or educated social commentator and/or mediator of sorts. As we said last time, touch gloves, and let's have a good, clean fight - or not? All is fair in love and war, and battle of the cyborgs. It's almost making Misfits Boxing @MisfitsBoxing look quite normal or bland - which it is not! Fight entrepreneurs such as Dana White, Eddie Hearn, Triple H, Vince McMahon, Jake Paul, Logan Paul and KSI have been watching this space closely.
X is or was keen to broadcast the potential fight, but as time moves forward the vibe appears to dim on the opp - but just like the world of MMA's cousin, pro wrestling and especially the WWE @WWE , anything can happen. The world awaits a counter-strike by Musk. Card subject to change!

Combat Sports and Tech Billionaires Fight News Update
Zuckerberg vs. Musk fight not likely to happen, Meta owner says!
After weeks of posturing and social media wars the rumored fight between fellow billionaires Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk appears to be off - at least for now.
Zuckerberg posted on Meta's new social media platform Threads on Saturday that it is "time to move on." The Meta owner has frequently shared photos and videos of his jiu jitsu training in recent months.
"I think we can all agree Elon isn't serious and it's time to move on," Zuckerberg said. "If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me."
Zuckerberg added that UFC owner Dana White had agreed to make the fight official and use its proceeds for charity but Musk would not confirm a date. He also said Musk suggested a "practice round" in Zuckerberg's backyard.
The post from Zuckerberg comes a week after Musk claimed that the cage fight would be streamed on X with proceeds going to a veterans charity. On Friday he tweeted that the fight would be managed by Zuckerberg's foundations and not the UFC.
"The fight will be managed by my and Zuck's foundations (not UFC)," Musk tweeted. "Livestream will be on this platform and Meta. Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all. I spoke to the PM of Italy and Minister of Culture. They have agreed on an epic location."
The billionaires are still at loggerheads at time of publication.
"Zuck wants UFC, likely in Las Vegas. Must wants Italy at the Collesium no less. Musk want to support Vets. Zuck's got other ideas. To his defense Musk is currently doing rehab for an injury and needs more time. The world was and still may be buzzing for this fantasy dream match, but the buzz is starting to cool off", says Media Man, who have been following the saga from the get-go.
"Looks like the world still may get Logan Paul vs Jake Paul eventually and maybe even Roman Reigns vs Tai Tuivasa, Stone Cold Steve Austin vs Volk and Brock Lesnar vs Logan Paul one day in the future, but don't hold your breath for Musk vs Zuck for much longer", Media Man staff was overheard under the watercooler.
Musk added that the event would "pay respect to the past and present of Italy."
Comon' fellas, the world still wants this fight - in an Octagon or in a ring or on the mat of some nature. The viral Musk vs Zuck fantasy lives on via Media Man and other social media VR, AI and the like!

John WallStreet LinkedIn ESPN and PENN August 2023
JWS with excellent insight and Intel into the ESPN - PENN deal. To me at this stage of the game a ESPN - sports/gaming lifestyle b2b type deal such as this makes more sense and is a better Image match-up than the current and distancing relationship what ESPN has with Disney (but smartly appears to be moving away from). To my mind Disney is a damaged brand - many entertainment brands are but Disney is particularly embattled in my view. They picked the wrong political for in Ron DeSantis from Florida. College sports and the Daily Fantasy Sports sector is more "smash mouth" and "in your face" vibe, akin to MMA powerhouse the UFC. Is this PENN "tease" a deliberate market test of a rougher and more masculine version of ESPN without the mouse ears and political distractions of old? Is this at least part driven by Barstool Sports prior mega success in Daily Fantasy and sports betting news and services with attitude? This move and current vibe has caught my attention. We are open to affiliate b2b with ESPN and PENN, but not Disney these days - at least not with Disney s current political agendas and activism mindset and vibe). We line this ESPN - PENN paring and new handshake. Let's go. Bold and smart market mover Media Man says.

Google's also been facing regulatory issues and government watchdog probes in a number of markets. At least Alphabet's Google is upfront and warns us there may be some inaccuracies. Creative accounting has been part of the advertising and certainly online advertising business sector since the beginning. We're getting some raw data from our ISPs and hosts etc and passing on select intel to our potential and current clients. The data drug! Google would be wise to also keep working on the human touch and how about more open media business days in Sydney like the one where we got to interview the Aussie PM at the time. More in person presentations by Google in Sydney, Australia thanks. Positive news awaiting for responsive big tech firms. Worked a charm for X Corp/Twitter so why not 'The Big G'. Google us.

Eddie Hearn Slams Boxing Skills Of Jake Paul and Nate Diaz
Being a top promoter in the world of boxing, Eddie Hearn has shown appreciation for the success of Jake Paul vs. Nate Diaz. With that said, he’s also seen a ton of far more seasoned athletes in the sweet science. Via MMA Fighting - “The MMA Hour,” Hearn discussed the boxing skills of Paul and Diaz.
“It was awful”..“Don’t get me wrong, the event was unbelievable. You did a great job. Brilliant. But when you’re talking about - you know MMA like the back of your hand. I know boxing like the back of my hand, and I’m watching that like [face in his hands], ‘This is so bad.’ The reason that Nate didn’t get stopped is that Jake didn’t have the ability. He doesn’t know how to break a fighter down, cut off the ring, beat him up, and stop him. But I give my props to Nate: super tough. Super tough. But you’re talking about low, low level in terms of standard.” #boxingnews #boxing #eddiehearn #quote #promoter #promotions #JakePaul #NateDiaz #sportsnews #sportsbiz #sportsmedia #media

Elon Musk of X @X Corp Claims Mark Zuckerberg Refused Fight At Roman Colosseum
Tech tsar Elon Musk says he isn't the one holding up a battle of the billionaires with Mark Zuckerberg ... claiming Tuesday the Meta King is actually the one who turned down a potential fight at Italy's Colosseum.
The X Corp founder took to X (formally Twitter) just minutes ago to explain his side of the situation ... saying after the two men had initially agreed to fight, Rome offered up one of the Seven Wonders of the World for the guys to scrap in.
But, according to Elon, Zuck just flat-out didn't want to do it.
"Zuck declined," Musk said emphatically.
That's when he said he offered to fight in Zuckerberg's backyard Octagon instead.
"I suggested his home as 'safe space,'" Musk said. "Tragically, he was ahem 'traveling.'"
Zuck, meanwhile, has offered up a completely different version of the situation, saying on Threads earlier this week that he was moving on from the battle ... because he didn't believe Musk was serious at all about the fight.
"I offered a real date".."Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity. Elon won't confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead."
"If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me. Otherwise, time to move on. I'm going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously."
Zuckerberg is now exploring a fight in the UFC.
Media Man half joked, "So Zuck want a fight in the UFC, or maybe ONE Championship otherwise. How about they bring in either Jake Paul, Logan Paul, KSI, or even a somewhat long awaited return of CM Punk (Phillip Brooks). The Paul Bros are much strong draws, but KSI is ultra tough and a draw also. Between Zuck, UFC, the Paul Bros, Misfits and co they should be able to sort it out. Not certain Musk is still going to be able to stream the fight via X but don't write it off yet. This recent news may just spark Musk to conceed to fight in the Octagon in Vegas or wherever. Could be part of the negotiation process knowing Musk. May the best promoter and may the best fighter win. In fairness, round 6 of the online fight to Zuck after our fight cards showing Musk winning the majority of the prior. It ain't over till it's over".

Wrestling /WWE @WWE News: Mike Rotunda believes Bray Wyatt will return to WWE 'hopefully shortly'
The father of Bray Wyatt feels his son will be coming back to WWE soon.
Appearing at WrestleCon over the weekend, former WWE and WCW star Mike Rotunda (IRS) told Sportskeeda that he feels Wyatt will be back "hopefully shortly."
"You read a lot of stuff on the internet which I wouldn't believe a lot of or, in my case, any of it. Bray Wyatt...I'm sure he will return to WWE, hopefully shortly, and we'll go from there".
Some wrestling fans are hoping Wyatt forms a clan/faction/cult in the WWE. Names being talked about with hardcore fans include Riddick Moss, Emma, Karrion Kross, Scarlett, Cameron Grimes, Raven and a possible return of Erik.
Did someone just say "Follow The Buzzards", "Follow The White Rabbit", or both?

ONE Boss calls out X Corp's Elon Musk: “I am compelled to say something”
Mr Sityodtong criticized Musk for his “bullying” tactics. This comes after the latter said he’d confront Zuck at his home.
“I normally don’t like to get involved in other people’s spats, but I am compelled to say something on the latest development of the potential fight between Mark Zuckerberg vs Elon Musk,” the ONE boss scribed in his Facebook post on Tuesday, August 15.
“A few hours ago, Elon said that he was planning to show up to Mark’s house to fight him. Elon is one of the greatest entrepreneurs in history and I have a lot of respect for his guts, accomplishments, and intellect. However, I dislike bullying of any kind.”
The beef reached new highs (or lows) when X Corp's Musk claimed to have spoken with Italian authorities about arranging a fight at the historic Colosseum in Rome, Italy.
Zuckerberg expressed his willingness to fight Musk under one condition, though. He wants to stage the event in either ONE Championship or the UFC @ufc These are the world's leading combat sports organizations by earnings, reach, broadcasting and media footprint, demo etc.
The Meta chief’s prime stipulation didn't go down well with Musk. That led the X Corp boss to respond in a harsh fashion.
This didn’t sit well with Sityodtong, who initially offered to host the potential super-fight.
“Elon genuinely knows nothing about fighting or martial arts despite his claims to the contrary. As a lifelong expert martial artist who has been in my fair share of scraps, I can tell simply by the way he is acting,” Sityodtong wrote.
“The problem with most men who have never fought and/or trained seriously in martial arts is exactly what Elon is doing. They have a false sense of bravado and no understanding or appreciation for what technical skills and knowledge can do in a fight.”
Sityodtong views Zuckerberg besting Musk.
It remains uncertain whether the proposed MMA bout between Musk and Zuckerberg will ever become a reality, but if the fight does come to life, Chatri Sityodtong believes the Meta chief will emerge victorious.
“Mark will likely choke Elon unconscious in a fight. Elon could win by a lucky punch due to his size and weight,” Sityodtong tipped.
“However, Mark is in fighting shape and Elon is not. Mark has the gas tank for 3 rounds and Elon has the gas tank for 3 minutes.”
Media Man awarded round 6 of the Musk vs Zuck online social media war to Zuck, after Musk winning most other rounds on points, and seems now ONE's Sityodtong has stepped in as a ref or educated social commentator and/or mediator of sorts. As we said last time, touch gloves, and let's have a good, clean fight - or not? All is fair in love and war, and battle of the cyborgs. It's almost making Misfits Boxing @MisfitsBoxing look quite normal or bland - which it is not! Fight entrepreneurs such as Dana White, Eddie Hearn, Triple H, Vince McMahon, Jake Paul, Logan Paul and KSI have been watching this space closely.
X is or was keen to broadcast the potential fight, but as time moves forward the vibe appears to dim on the opp - but just like the world of MMA's cousin, pro wrestling and especially the WWE @WWE , anything can happen. The world awaits a counter-strike by Musk. Card subject to change!
