News Bellator sale talks heating up

[careto]

worst fucking timeline imho

This guy is making a lot of conjectures here. I dont see how PFL going to the Qatar Economic Forum translates to them purchasing Bellator. He is connecting the rumor of Bellator selling, with the possibility of a Middle Eastern investment, with a possibility of a merger, with a co-founder of PFL going to Qatar to speak. There are just too many dots he is trying to connect.

tbf the meltdown on here if PFL buys Bellator would almost be worth it.

Do you watch PFL events live ever?

Do you watch PFL events live ever?

Absolutely not, the pacing is absolute murder.

man, that would be a sight to see. Worst outcome possible but the meltdown would be epic.

 

[TorontoTO]

Absolutely not, the pacing is absolute murder.

That is my main issue, if they merge, I will genuinely never watch another Bellator event live

Bring Bellator back to Canada for events. I like that the events are free on YouTube but I want to experience Bellator in my own country instead of having to travel 9 hours to Mohegan Sun.

If they did one in Toronto or the GTA I'd fly up from Halifax. Those ultra cheap airlines have made air travel so affordable in the last 5 years.

Supposedly ESPN/Disney is gonna have PFL and Bellator both merged into one, possibly to replace UFC eventually

According to who? That wouldnt be the worst thing if they can get rid of the season gimmick of PFL and the attrocious pacing.

The Fightoracle guy and ToddAtkins, no idea if they are credible but that's the chatter

A new possible buyer has appeared. Wasserman has just announced they will start buying more businesses. Wasserman is the number 2 sports agency just under CAA.

2021 Wasserman acquired German based boxing promotional company Team Sauerland. Relocating to it to the United Kingdom, renamed it Wasserman Boxing.

Recently they lost their main Baseball agent who was their big money maker, so decided to follow in the footsteps of Endeavor and go back to this old plan of buying companies they can use their experiences to promote like Wasserman boxing. (And Bellator fits their profile of companies they will look at)

Is it still heating up, or is all of this conjecture?

both the weasel helwani and meltzer confirmed that bellator is for sale. so that is pretty much confirmed. whether or not anyone is willing to buy it or who that will be so far is just conjecture.

right, so the whole thread basically. got it.

I rarely watch any MMA that I don't record so I can skip the BS. No sport is interesting when there is 20mins between anything happening with the sport.

No doubt. But sometimes these reporters know a lot more than they share as they don't want to burn the source. Ariel could probably do a hour show a week on just rumors he has heard but doesn't speak on publicly each week.

One or PFL should just buy to absorb the roster. No one watches Bellator anyway
