The last few months I have posted a number of articles that looked at various aspects of the UFC’s finances, including fighter pay (here, here, and here), event finances, the UFC’s PPV business, and Zuffa’s finances under the Fertittas’ management. For this article, I will take a break from the UFC and instead focus on the No. 2 promotion in mixed martial arts, Viacom’s Bellator MMA.
For some time I have been meaning to post an article on Bellator’s finances, but have been stymied by how little information was available.
