PFL is bleeding money from every seam. There is no way they are even anywhere near profitability. Like Dana has said a million times, there have been many MMA organizations that start up and throw a bunch of money around and they never last. You can't just buy a couple promotions and throw a bunch of money at it and try to make it big and compete with the UFC. It needs to be slowly home grown and properly built if anyone wants to have a chance. Honestly, I see someone like Cage Warriors having a better chance as they have a big following.

I would be cool with Mark Jackson being biased for the Knicks, just the same. Obviously not over the top, but still being passionate for the teams they’ll always be connected with is actually a cool thing to me. But you’re right, the whole broadcast team can’t be like that. And those that are biased need to keep it reasonable.

In a transaction like this, cited specifically for talent acquisition, there would or should be a clause regarding the assumption of existing contracts and requirements for any renewals prior the deal closing. A competent transaction would have an initial signed intention of the transaction and would address contract assumption and renewals prior to closing of the transaction and should have contained a clause that both parties had to agree to any renewals prior to closing for renewals to be valid. If they didn’t have that included then tough cookies, sue your lawyer for malpractice to not include a basic provision of a merger of this magnitude, and honor the deals OR offer full releases to not trap fighters. But not a good look for the entity that said everybody was welcome onboard and emphasizes themselves as fighter first

Anyone who has actually been watching Inside the NBA for a while (shoutout Run Through the Tape) knows the show has long past its apogee. Fell off a couple years back. What was one of the greatest live shows on televesion is now just a really good sports show. Still good, still the best sports has to offer, but just aint the same not even close. Shaq has become completely insufferable, Ernie been feeling himself a little too much these last couple years, Kenny still Kenny for the last 2 decades (meh) and Chuck is still goated. Barkley is really the only one of the initial 3 (and eventually 4) that has gotten better over the years Regardless, the drop off hasnt been precipitous and its a testament to the 4 for keeping the inevitable decline as slow as possible. It's been a legendary run and in its prime was truly one of the best panels on all of television

Unfortunately for Gegard he won't win that. The former bellator ownership committed business fraud by doing that at the 11th hour. The new owners were purchasing a company with certain contracts. And then we're given a company with different contracts. It's a material change to the business deal. That would be like selling your house, and then before the new buyers move in you have the above ground pool removed and transferred to your new home. They're offer was for a house with the pool not a house without a pool. The money they offered bellator was for a bellator with mosasi on his old contract
