A significant partnership was announced recently, with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) securing a three-year exclusive broadcasting agreement with DAZN. The news was shared on social media earlier in the day.
“This exciting partnership with DAZN brings great news for BKFC fans, promising to take the action to new heights. Brace yourselves for an electrifying new chapter in Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship!”
Although BKFC and DAZN have previously collaborated, this new deal is anticipated to be mutually beneficial for both entities. In the past year, BKFC has seen remarkable growth, becoming a must-follow for enthusiasts of combat sports. The promotion has expanded its fighter lineup, global presence, and overall appeal to MMA and boxing fans.
Earlier this year, former UFC champion Conor McGregor became a co-owner of BKFC. Despite varying opinions on his fighting career, McGregor, known for his business acumen, identified BKFC’s potential. While it is unclear if McGregor’s involvement influenced the DAZN deal, it is likely to have had an impact.
As per the announcement, the new collaboration will include 24 live events annually, commencing with BKFC Marbella in Spain on October 12th. The event is set to showcase three BKFC title fights and highlight some of the promotion’s top fighters.
BKFC president David Feldman conveyed his enthusiasm about the collaboration, emphasizing its significance in expanding the promotion globally. The three-year agreement with DAZN aims to broaden the reach of BKFC’s heart-pounding action to a larger global audience and raise the profile of bare-knuckle fighting as a sport.
