SUPPORT EXPANDING THE ALI ACT

Today, we’re discussing a variety of topics that include ABC’s new president and what we know about him, Matt Brown’s criticism of Renato Moicano, Tapology’s new UFC fighter rankings system, UFC Qatar site fees, and Martin Buday’s release. We also talked about PFL’s great strides in card quality, Netflix’s plans, TKO’s big squeeze on WWE fans, and some very interesting finds in Jarrell Miller’s bankruptcy case. There’s a lot more so follow along with our outline as you listen:

Episode 177 Outline

* A new president was named to replace Mike Mazzulli at the ABC. Who is it and do we know anything about him?

* Matt Brown criticized Renato Moicano recently. What was his point of contention and do you agree with him?

* Tapology just announced they’ll be doing their own independent rankings system. What are your thoughts on that?

* Martin Buday was recently cut from the UFC despite having a very good run and coming off a win. What’s the problem with Buday?

* UFC recently announced their Qatar card. What kind of site fees are we looking at for that event?

* The Netflix VP still isn’t convinced on buying the rights to a “full season sports package”. Do you think there’s a possibility this is smoke and mirrors to hide that they actually are considering a full package?

* PFL seems to be making great strides in content quality for their cards. Can they possibly un-sink their ship?

* TKO has plans to do 2-night events in the near future, adding to Summer Slam and Wrestlemania (the only 2-night events they hold currently). Do you think their greed will eventually bite them in the ass? (fans are already piping up discontent with this)

* There were massive boos and discontent for Trump at the recent Summer Slam event. Do you think TKO is overplaying their hand with WWE audiences, which are family-friendly and don’t lean hard right like UFC audiences?

* What’s going on with Jarrell Miller’s Bankruptcy and what does it have to do with Salita Promotions?

* What were Miller’s agreements with Salita?

* How does Miller’s failed PED test and the contractual exclusive negotiating and right of refusal impact the case?

* What was Queensberry Promotions offer to Miller and did Salita interfere with this offer?

* What’s going on with Miller and this case now?
