Dana White might want to have a word with the “co-leader” in MMA.
Following a historic UFC 300 card with 20,067 fans in attendance, the UFC CEO spent most of the post-fight press conference celebrating an incredible night of action until somebody made the ill-fated decision to mention the name “Bellator” to him. The subject came up while discussing a possible UFC card in Hawaii, which White shot down due to infrastructure problems that would prevent the promotion from actually traveling there.
When a reporter mentioned that Bellator previously held cards in Hawaii, White scoffed at the remark before joking that the organization now owned by PFL could probably “put on a f****** fight in the parking lot.” That led to White noting that the PFL actually promoted a card in Las Vegas this past Friday night, a fact he only heard about at the very last minute.
“You know ‘PFL-ator’ was here on Friday?” White said combining PFL and Bellator into one name. “Did anybody know that? I didn’t know until f****** Friday.”
my .02 The MLB , NHL , NBA , NFL all have promos and tix giveaway days .
Ehhh they do have promos sometimes, but there’s over 1200 games played each season in those leagues (NFL excluded). Many against absolute garbage teams, which the promo games tend to be. When the top teams roll through, you don’t see many promos as the tickets sell-out.
PFL is scheduled to put on 11 shows in 2024 thus far and they’re already struggling, doing buy 2, get 2? It’s not the same as those other leagues you mentioned
