on Asking for a Trend to discuss how the company stacks up against its competitors in the mixed martial arts space.
Davis says PFL has the “same quality athletes” as UFC, with athletes turning to the league for control of their careers and better pay. “Whether it's you, or me, or the fighters, we want to go as far as we can go in our career. In the PFL, they're not under anybody's thumb. They win, they advance. They win four times, more money... We're not holding them back. We're not in control. They are.
PFL acquired Bellator MMA in a move that UFC CEO Dana White criticized. Davis says, “Dana doesn't say anything unless he's bothered,” explaining the acquisition “was basically us consolidating all the great fighters that aren't in UFC.”When asked about the possibility of an initial public offering down the line for PFL, Davis says “I'm working to build a company for fans and fighters. That will take care of itself.
Explain the arts a little bit about PFL, the mission and also Don, how you compare and contrast to the competition.He chooses who's ranked one and who's ranked two.So the PFL is a sports season format just like the NBA or the NFL, regular season playoffs and championship athlete driven in the PFL.So in the PFL, if a fighter wins four times, they win a million dollars, they become champion, meritocracy and trans, that is what's propelled our explosive growth.
You think PFL Asia could come at some point, we'll have PFL Asia, PFL, Latin America and PFL India in the future.Why they get their own local heroes, their events, prime time and their events that they can see and when they become champions of those regional leagues, they go up to PFL Global and compete.But those regional leagues are where those fans live.
