It isn't about being in business for one year or who has invested in it.
It's about the system in place that for a start up org or whatever you want to call them, start each season millions in the hole. That is why the investors will run off before this ever gets going. Even the bigger free agents I've heard next to nothing of any of them even considering PFL.
Rumors were they got 100K a show from NBCSports. Ratings were basically 100K-150K an event. They aren't selling a lot of tickets either. Sounds like 2.4K or whatever for the New York show was the best selling of the year. So they aren't making money there. Sponsors pay based on various things that all come down to exposure. Based on the info we know, that isn't much either. So I highly doubt any of the sponsorship deals are eye opening amounts. Maybe they got some other revenue rolling in from outside the US TV deals, but I can guarantee that isn't much.
Everything we know about them it all adds up to a disaster ending sooner than later.
Would anyone on here invest just 10K in PFL with no guarantees?????
P.S.: I won't be surprised one bit if the investors are using the loses/investments in PFL as nothing more than showing loses to help there bottom line/tax burden for the much more profitable ventures they are involved in for the short term. Same can be said about ONE. This makes more sense then some crazy shot in the dark of this becoming the next UFC. But eventually those wells dry up. Sometimes the people taking the money in, leverage the investments against each other and more or less play a game of rob Paul to play Mary scheme. Which once again usually fails quickly.
