bear market just extraordinary. as the acquired company has agreed to sell its interests and miller coors. this is the second-largest brewer in the united states. the reason they announced their selling it is because the regulators would not have allowed them to hold onto it. the markets 45% of share. miller coors another 27%. they would have a whopping 70%. no one was going to let that slide. announcement.uble we got ab inbev going forward with the announcement to buy sabmiller. this is a very large, complex

we have seen a slowdown in the last 12 months. the slowdown is going to continue. that means they have to try and get synergy into the cost-cutting program. there will be a lot more of that consolidation, cost-cutting. manus: this is the critical point when we look back at some of the reports. anheuser-busch has a history. they are the rottweilers of cost-cutting. their ability just trumps everybody outside of the market. that is the critical thing. an repetition -- they have a reputation. they doubled their margin over 32.5%. i think the underlying problem is businesses are

struggling because of the huge exposure into places like rozelle -- places like brazil. under fromhave been it is pressure. -- under tremendous pressure. you got the heat on the fx. that means the only way you can stabilize the business if you go through rationalization and cost-cutting. manus: there was a great article this morning that made the point that they are not going to be able to achieve the levels of ripping costs out of sabmiller because it is already well run. there is a big cultural difference. we written about it. bloomberg. have seen some huge megadeals come undone because of the culture clash.
