News Bellator sale talks heating up

[TRVITMVNZ]

Interesting to see where PBC lands. Wish someone hires the All Access crew

 

[TRVITMVNZ]

Dream scenario would be to see PBC and Bellator/PFL rights to be on DAZN to actually make the subscription worth it lol

That reaction says how little you know about boxing lol!!!!

PBC has blocked many more big fights than it has put on.

Lol!!!!!!

a few examples here:


Wilder vs fury x 3
Mayweather vs pacquiao
Tank vs Garcia
Crawford vs Spence
Canelo vs charlo this week

What other company has done as many co-promotions ??? Or big fights ???? Or even lending boxers to other shows. if PBC is so bad for the sport …

Allowed Fulton (PBC) vs inoue in Japan recently … Edwin de Los santos (PBC) will face Shakur in top rank …

I think this guy in the video is dead on.

Boxing isn't drawing enough subscribers for the HBO's or Showtime's to justify cost of the product in todays world. I'm guessing Showtime's PPV events prop up the cost of the boxing shows on Showtime and the margin of profit is getting slimmer and slimmer every year if not going backwards.

Interesting thing regarding boxing. Also likely applies to Bellator.

Seems to me this is an issue of cable falling out of favor and Parmount Plus not got that many subscribers yet. Cable is dying, not boxing. The OTT Platforms.. too many people do not want to buy dozens of platforms but a occasional pay for view event works.

It was cool when it was just Netflix and everything was on there. Now every company has one and it’s too much. Bring back the days of cable where I can pay a single fee per month for everything

Lol!!!!!!

a few examples here:


Wilder vs fury x 3

An absolutely unnecessary fight that held up the division. After the draw and then the drubbing Wilder received in the second, the third fight was pointless.

Mayweather vs pacquiao

Ah, yes, the fight that happened several years past it’s due date

Tank vs Garcia

The underachiever weight draining a glorified prospect. Only people that really cared were Ryan’s TikTok followers. That fight did nothing for the lightweight division, and less for boxing as a whole

Crawford vs Spence

Another fight that happened several years later than it should have, and only happened because Spence finally found his balls and stood up to Haymon.

Canelo vs charlo this week

A fight nobody asked for, and the tickets have been slow to sell

What other company has done as many co-promotions ??? Or big fights ???? Or even lending boxers to other shows. if PBC is so bad for the sport …

Matchroom and Top Rank

]Allowed Fulton (PBC) vs inoue in Japan recently.

Oh how generous of them toallow Fulton to get paid what he’d never get close to fighting under the PBC banner. Fulton basically told them he was going, and to not get in his way,

Just wait. A number of these services are going to start bundling together, and we’ll be back to square one.

I keep seeing this guy pop up, but not a single person who's posted him has named a single thing he's reported on that's actually happened.

It's similar to the cycle of before with one guy who's name I'm forgetting who began all these rumors that got banned for endlessly shilling his YouTube channel, but with a different person now.

seems ufc bound

 

[TITS]

Paramount is going down the drain. They are probably gonna go under and sold off in a year or two

More fake news, no reliable sources whatsoever.

I mean just look at the stock price. It's not a secret that Paramount has not been doing well this year

Nothing about that interview suggested he was going to the UFC. Just worried about his place in a new company during a buyout. Is normal.

If they keep PFL/Bellator as two separate leagues, Eblen will continue defending the MW title.

If the leagues are merged, I'm sure Bellator 185 will fill in the void for PFL middleweight. If PFL brings back 185, I'm 100% positive guys like Razor Rob, Akhmedov, Jotko, and Shoeface will move down. No way those guys have a chance against Bellator's 205ers.

At any rate, I'm sure Eblen will be alright.

Is it safe to say this sale, if it’s happening, probably won’t get announced anytime soon?
