Woah! This could be great news for kickboxing here in the US. Just curious about the Saturday night thing. What Bellator show airs on saturday night? Also will they show the Glory shows on a delay I presume because they wont be live on a Saturday night.

This is good news and hopefully Glory build a solider fan base in the US which isn't as receptive to kickboxing as it is to MMA and boxing.

Great if true. Go Glory!

God I hope this happens but Meltzer isnt the most reliable source

[eddymotto]

given that I am not sure what K1 is up to, this sounds like great (potential) news to me.

Spike is clearly trying to position themselves as the "fight channel". I would guess that they will be getting Glory content really cheap (and Glory gets exposure to the NA market).

I hope that it works out for everyone.

glory with spike tv would take kickboxing 2 a whole new level.

What happened with the K-1 on Spike deal? They advertised that quite a bit back when it was announced.

K-1 ruined it. Mismanagement combined with a lack of financial resources.

This is great for the sport. Glory have the money, business smarts and the know how to make this sport a success.
