That counter-offer from Comcast is believed to be in the $60 billion range and, unlike the Disney offer, which is made up of stock, the Comcast offer is expected to be all cash.
As reported on earlier this month, cable giant Comcast is seeking to swoop in and grab the Fox assets from Disney with its own enticing offer.
The cash amount is larger, but it is also subject to a capital-gains tax that would be in the billions.
Comcast has yet to make an official offer, but if it does, Fox may postpone or adjourn the shareholder meeting to consider the counter-offer.
