Bare knuckle? Why not bum fights and geezer wars too? No scarcity of talent in these niche sports.

DAZN are running out of money with this investment

Bare knuckle should please NASCAR fans and steal UFC nerds. That’s a good boost for wrestling fans. Just wait for a black guy vs a white guy in bare Knuckle! Paulie willl then commentate and say, “the LDBC can lick my balls too!”

I'd heard that as well, but it looks kinda complicated. Bellator is now overseen by Showtime following the Viacom / CBS merger, but it also has an ongoing 5 year deal for OTT content with DAZN which started in 2018... so, both, kinda. Which is kinda crazy.

So they're owned by CBSViacom, run by SHO but apparently have to keep their content deal with DAZN for the next 3 years or so, if I understand it right.
