You deserve to have someone standing up for you as a fight fan.
Whether you spend $2,000 on UFC or WWE tickets or you binge-watch free Youtube clips, you deserve to have your voice heard by key decision makers and influencers.
This week’s MMA Draw Podcast is a heart-to-heart conversation about what is currently happening with media technology & personalities in the fight business.
Everything is changing so quickly — from platforms to politics to the personalities you follow and their allegiances.
“Who’s side is he on now?”
If you spend a lot of your own time or money consuming fight content, you deserve to know where your cash is going and what the world’s powers-that-be have in store for you.
The people in charge of financing fight sports are already ruling the world or have future aspirations in wanting to rule the world.
Comforting thought, isn’t it?
Our MMA Draw Podcast this week reviews some interesting recent developments regarding streaming platforms, subscription-based sites, and where advertising revenue stands. This is a big deal, especially with so much video-based content being produced. How is Endeavor able to generate record-breaking advertising revenue for big UFC & WWE fights while revenue for media platforms is on uncertain footing, especially for independent media content creators?
Our fundraising and subscription campaign kicks off this month for The MMA Draw Newsletter on Substack. Expect to see additional content for our paid subscribers on topics you just won’t see covered anywhere else.
Teaser: We will have an extensive article later this week looking at how the explosive combination in growth of taxpayer cash plus governments as top event purchasers is cementing billions of dollars in revenue for mega-monopoly TKO.
This is, in turn, creating distorted expectations for investors looking to finance minor rivals or new upstarts in the fight space.
"Why can’t you be like them?”
The longevity of the TKO mega monopoly is going to directly impact you as a customer and how much you have to pay in the future to see the combat circus.
It’s one thing to promote the concept of supporting The MMA Draw because we’re independent media, but it’s an entirely different sales pitch when being independent means we can publish the kinds of stories and information that you wouldn’t otherwise see if we were owned by a major corporation. That’s a big deal.
In this media climate with Endeavor’s massive scale of representation and world governments functioning as leading promoters, it’s getting more and more difficult to find independent voices who aren’t running scared. A growing number of fight voices you listen to are either walking a fine corporate line or as close as you can get to being state-controlled media assets.
Our nearly 30 years of covering the fight business gives us the credibility and experience you can trust in understanding that we will tell the truth about major news stories to the best of our abilities.
