Strikeforce Secures Showtime Deal

News

The North American landscape has changed drastically today with the purchase of the assets of ProElite by Strikeforce, but I believe the biggest news of the day comes with the announcement that Strikeforce has secured a broadcast agreement with Showtime.

The agreement calls for up to sixteen live broadcasts per year, with the first show taking place on April 11th.

There has been no mention of any shows taking place on CBS, but it’s a natural progression and I wouldn’t be surprised to see at least one show take place on the big network this year if the company can come to terms with several of the big names from ProElite.
