Spike not renewing contract with PBC because Bellator will be the main focus

Nice

Not surprised. I think Spike knows Bellator is growing and can potentially overtake the UFC which is flailing.

I think this means a larger schedule for Bellator MMA and Kickboxing.

This is good to hear. Spike is really backing Bellator.

As usual, the Sherdog story is nonsense and based on the biased report on ESPN. As I said before, I had this weeks before when I interviewed Spike's Jon Slusser at the Bellator NY press conference. After the ESPN hit piece, Spike issued a press release clarifying that they indeed would work with PBC again if the right fight came along. Just like the Zuffa Zombie MMA 'media' does with UFC, the fake boxing 'media' disparages PBC and tries to prop up the HBO mismatches and its dying boxing program. More on this on my latest show. But it is good for Bellator.

That is very interesting. I wasn't aware of the fake boxing media being against PBC in support of HBO boxing. Ah, the similarities between these two sports and the world in general are crazy.

Thanks for the info.
