Not surprised. Just waiting for an alternative MMA brand to take off.

If PFL buys out Bellator and still commits to paying its fighters 50% of PPV profits, that would be a great start.

I'd well believe it. Good to see Francis get his payday. Uncle Dana will be sour over this.

Many multiples could be just 15 million. Which is still amazing, but not quite what Martin is implying without saying
