Bellator content seemingly removed from Max streaming service

RIP Bellator it was a great run.
 
They usually announce future cards months in advance...nothing. The prelims for the Dubai card is basically a PFL MENA card, and both the main card and prelims are loaded with ovs and evs, just like the last PFL season, with some Irish sprinkled in.

According Ariel today, Bellator name is now officially gone. Moving forward it will PFL Championship series. There will only be PFL champs, how they will be crowned, who knows. I'm guessing like Usman vs Hughes the winner will just become the PFL champ. Also the tournament point system and season stuff is all gone.

I’m going to miss Bellator but I’m okay with it being gone now. It was just too far gone from its better days to salvage.

PFL moving towards matchmaking is the right move IMO. The season stuff got old years ago.
 
Sports on Max is such a stupid name. Max is dumb as well. Hey let's get rid of the world-famous HBO name and replace it with the one we used for the soft porn channel in the 90s!

I had a Max subscription for like 8 months and didn't even realize it was actually HBO. And there's still a Cinemax channel/streaming service.

There seems to be no more Bellator content on the B/R Sports page and Google links no longer lead to pages on Bellator content. Also, we never got the Bellator library that we were promised by a certain PFL spokesperson. The Road to Dubai thing doesn't seem to be getting advertised for Max either.

May have something to do with underwhelming event performance and Max wasn't willing to pay for more events and this resulted in the final three events of 2024 being canceled. Just speculation on my part though. I do believe the deal was only for 2024.

Nobody likes 1-Hour Cutdowns of a miniscule fraction of the Bellator library or completely changing Bellator presentation to PFL cage/uniforms. Who would have thought?

Will the event this weekend still be on Max?
 
All content is now PFL content. No such thing as Bellator anything according to the Donn.

This isn't true. Bellator was doing fine Viacom just didn't care about it and sold it to venture capitalists who destroy everything they touch.

I agree with Bellator being good right before the PFL buyout. PFL's version of Bellator is what I was referring to.

The PFL's presentation of Bellator looked so bland compared to original Bellator.
 
PFL matchmaking getting better, PFL still lacks in Production not yet at Bellator level but showing great improvement for 2025. Maybe able to stop the exodus of stars?

Bellator was collateral damage. Their untimely exit was more so a result of Showtime wanting out of the sports business (i.e. boxing) and as such, started offloading assets for as quickly and cheaply as possible. PFL just so happened to be in the right place, at the right time (Saudi Cash infusion).

I still believe that the Bellator umbrella would have been in safer hands had it been acquired by Anthem Sports.
