Bellator announcing LANDMARK DISTRIBUTION DEAL June 26th presser
Bellator announcing LANDMARK DISTRIBUTION DEAL June 26th presser
Rumors are swirling of a possible streaming service pickup which would be great considering all the trouble they've had trying to please all their providers with live content.
But the biggest rumor is a possible merger of CBS and Viacom putting bellator on CBS sports,Cbs,and possibly Showtime paying for 6-8 events a year to air.
This would be massive it would give them more viewers on the product and some income for them as well.
Has anyone noticed last few months Showtime has been airing old Strikeforce shows with more and more regularity???? I have....
Ratings have dipped but the landscape is changing,good to see Coker and Viacom commuted to mma with more signings,more shows being announced, and plans for next year already coming about like the western euro series.
Keep your fingers crossed guys!!!

Deal with CBS would be huge for Bellator. Could have UFC on ESPN and Bellator on CBS in the near future.

I would like them in a ring but glad we have Rizin for that with the right rules for ring MMA. I would just like to see them partner up even more then you have the Asian MMA ring org. and the North American cage org. working together which is pretty awesome in my opinion.

That's a good thing. Tired of dishing out so much money on PPVs. In the past I use to order them all the time before MMA became over saturated. Now I order all the Rizin events and some of the really stacked UFC events.

Re: Bellator announcing LANDMARK DISTRIBUTION DEAL June 26th presser
33 million is a great deal for them with that extra 33 million I wonder what extra things they can do.?
Extra money can also mean more money in the fighters purse. Mean while over in the ufc.

Is anyone surprised by this? To be fair, a lot of that money was from the McGregor/Mayweather fight from what I hear. Not to mention, Dana White is the most tone deaf person MMA has ever had. He gives his "You Want To Be A Fucking Fighter" speech and tries to deflect criticism from fighter pay but is the same guy who has supposedly tipped waiter's at least $10,000, bragged about bringing trash bags of money to casinos, losing a million dollars one night in gambling, importing snow to his Las Vegas home for Christmas, and showing off his equivalent to Neverland Ranch on Looking for a Fight. I don't fault people for enjoying their money but there's a time and place to show it off & a time when you're more or less accused of paying your fighters less than what they would make at Wal-Mart is not one of those times. Even worse is has Dana earned his money recently? What does he do these days? He's supposed to be the promoter but he can't promote new talent.

I am not surprised either.

Re: Bellator announcing LANDMARK DISTRIBUTION DEAL June 26th presser
Realistically the ufc have never really promoted anyone Tito chuck randy etc they built up the ufc. Gsp Jones McGregor they built their own brand the ufc just cashes in on it. That is why coker and sakkikabarra are my two favourite promoters both have faults everyone does but they do seem to have the fighters come before me .Rocksoldier84 wrote:westcott123 wrote:33 million is a great deal for them with that extra 33 million I wonder what extra things they can do.?

Can you imagine if UFC couldn't buy PRIDE, WFA, WEC, & Strikeforce and couldn't swallow up their rosters? Can you imagine Coker or Sakakibara & Takada using reality shows to find talent including horsing around with friends before going to fights?

Truthfully both pride and strikeforce would leave the ufc in the dust .
