The Singapore-based ONE Championships is near a streaming deal which will make it easier for U.S. fans to watch its fights.
Currently, it costs $9.99 per event on the promotion’s web site to watch ONE Championship events.
ONE spokesperson, Loren Mack, indicated that the company will still have events onllne but the new deal will make it easier for fans in the U.S. to watch.
The promotion is based primarily in Asia and has a vast following there than in North American where big MMA diehards follow the sport. For more on the promotion, we interviewed CEO Victor Cui a while back about the company.
Payout Perspective:
The new deal will likely make it more accessible for fans here in the U.S. which leads me to believe that it will partner with someone with an existing over the top platform. The plan is a sign of growth for the company and a hope to open up more fans to the sport via a streaming deal.
No one does mma like the Japanese….used to love the Pride shows back in the earlier days of mma (for us in the USA anyway.)
One Championship are not Japanese, they are based in Singapore and run mainly South East Asia, Road FC in South Korea & Rizin in Japan do much bigger ratings in the countries they run.
Rizin is what I was thinking, thanks for the correction
Which one has Rin Nakai?
