After reading the report on The Fight Network that top heavyweight fighter Fedor Emelianenko signed with Russian fight organization, M-1, it seemed that we would never him fight in the U.S. against our favorite fighters. With the talk of the signing, there was also rumor that an American had purchased M-1, but no other details were given.
With a net worth of $2.7 billion and an interest in MMA, Mark Cuban could very well be the American who is buying out M-1. If so, this could be his big break as he begins to air his HDNet Fights on his own network beginning on October 13th. It’s not easy to be profitable as a small organization on TV (see BodogFight, IFL, ProElite) and this would be a great move for most of us.
