Saudi-backed PFL and Most Valuable Promotions merge to create new global combat sports platform
DUBAI: Most Valuable Promotions and the Professional Fighters League have announced a landmark merger, creating a new home of combat sports under the MVP banner.
The transaction accelerates MVP’s expansion into mixed martial arts following the success of MVP MMA 1. The merger creates a global sports and entertainment company combining boxing, MMA, media, live events, athlete development, and content distribution.
MVP will continue operating with a fighter-first philosophy focused on equitable compensation, maximum visibility, and opportunities for athletes to build their brands both inside and outside of competition, the company stated in a recent press release.
Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund has a minority stake in the PFL, which in recent years saw major expansion in the Middle East North Africa region.
