"Mike Goldberg was going to go to WWE, had a deal worked out, but at the last minute didn't feel right about it. Now the UFC can exhale as Goldberg has signed a new deal with Zuffa.
Terms of the WWE deal were not officially released, but one spokesperson from the WWE told MMAWeekly late Sunday night that Goldberg was originally offered a three year deal that would have made Goldberg quote "a millionaire". Goldberg's last show with the UFC was supposed to be last Monday night on the Spike TV LIVE show, but the UFC at the last minute made a huge deal at the 11th hour to take Goldberg back from the WWE.
The other thing that made the deal especially sweet for the UFC Broadcaster was the fact that he could continue to work for Fox Sports Network, while working for the UFC. The WWE would have made him quit his sportscasting job." (http://www.1wrestling.com/news/newsline.asp?news=24232)
