MFC signs deal with TSN

Maximum Fighting Championships has signed a one year deal with Canadian sports network, TSN according to the Edmonton Sun. The article reports that TSN approached MFC owner Mark Pavelich as the network wanted an MMA property for its network.

TSN (The Sports Network) is Canada’s leading English language sports tv channel. It appears that MFC programming will be shown on TSN2. The network is owned by Bell Media (80%) and ESPN (20%).


Via the Edmonton Sun:

“It’ll help corporate sponsorship, it’ll help fighter sponsorship and it’ll help in every direction possible,” said (Mark) Pavelich. “They’ll make more money because I’ll make more money. Now, if you’re fighting in the Maximum Fighting Championship, you’re not just on HDNet in Canada, the US and Mexico, you’re on TSN2 and that’ll spread even more.”

Good for them, But Mark Pavelich is trying a little too hard trying to act like Dana or someone better.

I agree but I'm all for any mma promotion growing and getting bigger. I tend to look at these things from a fighters point of view, even though I'm not a fighter. And the more legit orgs there are the more money our favorite mma fighters make.

I agree, I only don't like this because it gives Mark Pavelich more room to talk shit and act a buffoon.

I must say, i'm not a fan of the MFC simply because i think their shows are consistantly horrible. The fact that Mark Pavelich is a jerk off does not help.
