This content is protected Hardly surprising this, attracted no interest on UK/German TV deals this season. Suggesting the UK PPV numbers were poor. Not sure how they could recoup costs with no TV revenue. Is a shame as it is a great concept.
A massive shame but in all honesty it's hardly surprising. Needed a massive broadcaster on board with a ready to go fan base... Aka sky.
Crazy that they have turned down half decent TV money from one broadcaster in particular if these reports are correct.
they should have just hosted them all in the rich gulf countries like qatar, dubai, abu dhabi, saudi and kuwait.
Anyone know what the purses were in each round? as were they not paying through the roof also? Should have got all of the fights on maistream TV in most of the World then once the concept takes off negotiate higher TV contracts.
Winner of each tournement for Season I got $10,000,000 I think. Given Season II has got the Cruisers again, cannot imagine the winner will command that much? But must be arounf $65m?
They are insane figures. Wonder how much like the likes of Jamie Cox received in the quarters? The writing was on the wall when they refused to sell the rights individually for fights.
I struggled to put the numbers together for the previous supermiddle/cruiser tournaments myself. A big shame but I'm not surprised.
