Rumblings of K-1 World Grand Prix Final 8 in NYC Moving to Jan. to Air Live on Spike TV Emerge
Sat Oct 13, 2012 12:38 am
Seeing as though after this weekend, the next big K-1 Heavyweight event was set to be the K-1 World Grand Prix Final 8 originating from New York City on December 26th -- or so we thought. There are rumblings coming out of Japan tonight that the date may be pushed back to some time in January to air it live on Spike TV here in the United States, which would make a whole hell of a lot more sense than streaming it via UStream on Spike's website for $10. As WWE and the UFC can tell you, the PPV business is a fickle mistress, and things can drop off in the blink of an eye or simply never pick up. Never mind when it comes to internet stream PPVs, which is a harder sell, to say the least.
If this is true, this will be huge for K-1, to be able to air an event originating from the US live on a major cable network.
We will keep you updated on this story and more K-1 news throughout the weekend.

I really hope this comes to fruition. Larger viewership, no worries of having to compete with Glory, and albeit a small one, a shorter length of span between the next WGP.
Would really love to see K-1 on my television for the first time in ages as soon as possible.
