Actually it would pretty much be that easy as $100mm is way more than it's worth. The reason you're reading that it's for sale is because the buyers and sellers probably havent agreed upon a price and Fox is shopping it to a bigger market in order to drive up valuations. If the buyers and sellers had agreed you'd be reading about a buyout. A better and way more interesting question is if you had the $100mm to buy it what would you do with it? I've created an Ask HN if anyone is interested in a more thorough discussion. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2495933 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2495933
