PFL $1M TOURNAMENT PARTICIPANTS (as of now)

[Juventud]

How does the $1 million play into this?

Split 6 ways for each division winner?
Or each division winner gets a mill?

Or the division winners face off? Which would be hilarious.

This info is from last June so it might have changed, but it seems like a lot has gone into the planning of it. Includes a video interview with Carlos Silva who explains the format. I read the section underneath but didn't watch the video.

As always, LW is the sexiest looking division, but there's some real quality in all the brackets. I've got a lot of research to do because I want to be all over this when it begins. Thanks for the update @SakuWandyCop

no problemo breh

 

[Gambit MMA]

[Norman Khabib]

so its a milli for each weight class?

my guess is the bracket winner with the most points gets the prize, and they are all paid for their fights

[Fluffernutter]

Too bad no Mocco

 

[xMTDx]

I didn't know Tyler had signed with PFL. Glad to see him back if that's the case. Very talented fella when he is focused

 

[Falconkick]

This roster page is somewhat outdated. A handful of those fighters are in other promotions right now.

Bryce Mitchell (UFC/TUF)
Shane Krutchen (Bellator)
Abubakar Nurmagomedov (UFC, I think)
Phil Hawes (Contender Series)

That roster page also doesn't include new signings like Will Brooks or RIck Story.

Tyson Nam is knocking people out in Fight Nights with another fight scheduled...he turned down a PFL title shot to go KO Ali

 

[SakuWandyCop]

Freddy assuncao also joined the roster last night

what weight class? FW or LW

 

[CDF47]

Impressive tournament.

 

[Cantalope]

The WW tourney will be easy for Colton Smith

 

[Norman Khabib]

The WW tourney will be easy for Colton Smith

I hope his opponents bring lube, I hate watching 15mins of dry humping ... let's have some slip n slide! <45>

 

[adifighter86]

Looks like a dead promotion to me.

 

[MMALOPEZ]

so its a milli for each weight class?

Yes! 6 divisions 6 mil. Plus the salaries. Supposedly is a 10 million investment in fighters

 

[Rvd Slmr]

Rashid Magomedov

When did he leave the UFC? Are you sure about him?

 

[007]

So $1 million in each division?
That is a lot of average to below average fighters about to become millionaires

 

[SakuWandyCop]

It's true.

That's part of what makes this new promotion interesting. I hope it comes off.
