Bellator up for sale???

[MMALOPEZ]

• Huge if true but there have been whispers of Bellator being on the market. Bellator may be getting new investors soon or have their ownership stake split with a big cash influx.

I’m always wary of the middle easy rumor mill but..

I hope they do get a majority stake sold to new investors. Provided those new investors aren’t the UFC.

Viacom is obviously a big parent company but they’re so big that they can quite easily kick Bellator to the curb for simply not having an interest in continuing MMA or having a channel that suits MMA. Like how HBO kicked boxing to the curb. It would be cool If they’re involved but maybe a more invested parent company. Not quite the short term invested venture capitalists who owned Strikeforce but not quite the unattached behemoth like Viacom.

How much did Viacom pay for Bellator and what is it currently valued at?

Viacom paid $50 million according to NYT a few years ago. Don’t know how true that is.

I’ve never seen anything on their current estimated value.

I remember like seven or eight years ago, I'd wake up every Sunday in pure anticipation of Middle Easy's Sunday Morning Rumor Mill.

I enjoy Bellator as much as I do the UFC to be honest. Coker has done a decent job.
