'Why were PFL sponsorship deals structured in a way in which deals were three years in length, and each subsequent year fees increased by 2x and 3x from the year one base amount?'
"Feels like a way to superficially increase rev growth yr over yr to impress investors instead of a fixed annual amount."
As an MMA fan, it’s so disappointing to see the potential only major competition (PFL) being mismanaged into the ground.
Hopefully they can promote Paul Hughes to the moon! (and he wins). Just checked the SSE Arena for May 10th PFL event (Hughes fight) and it’s almost sold out.
It’s a pity that Donn doesn’t interact with the fan base at all.
It’s crazy in relation to the same issue with multiple sponsors. As you noted in the article, appears little to no due diligence was completed pre-agreements.
How can the same thing happen to the PFL over and over? If I’m an investor, I’m straight on the phone to Mr. Davis and checking all other financials which were stated to me.
The same issue with many sponsors has me thinking of good ol’ Einstein’s definition of insanity;
“Doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results”.

PFL = DUMPSTER FIRE. We should buy it for pennies on dollar
Barcelona FC is fan owned, why can’t fans own and run their own major mma promotion? Oh yeah, mma fans!
