GAMEON PARTNERS WITH PROFESSIONAL FIGHTERS LEAGUE (PFL) TO LAUNCH NEXT-GEN FANTASY GAMES
GameOn
Entertainment Technologies Inc. has arranged a deal with Professional Fighters League (PFL). PFL is the
fastest growing
and most innovative sports league in the world. GameOn will launch playable collectibles and next-generation fantasy games based on real-world PFL fighters and events.
PFL is the
No. 2 MMA
(mixed martial arts) company
globally, and the only with a sports-season format where individual fighters compete in regular season, playoffs and world championship. Each weight division competes for a $1-million prize. The league has propelled itself into the co-leader of the sport and recently signed combat sports superstars
Jake Paul
and
Francis Ngannu
to fight exclusively in MMA for the PFL.
The news is off the back of last month's
financing led by
Lightning Capital
and
Flow, the blockchain platform started by
NBA top shot-maker
Dapper Labs. The funds are being used to accelerate GameOn's
PLAYN3XT
platform and acquisition of major league partners. Dapper Labs has pioneered the broader sports collectibles market, which
doubled
in 2022 to $2.6-billion and is projected to reach $41.6-billion by 2032.
"We can't wait to bring next-gen fantasy sports to millions of MMA fans worldwide," said Matt Bailey, GameOn chief executive officer. "We're focused on major league opportunities that leverage our built and scalable PLAYN3XT platform. Our priority is onboarding the world's best leagues and executing highly profitable revenue growth."
"We're thrilled to be joining forces with GameOn to strengthen the digital bridges we have with fans around the world," said Pete Murray, PFL CEO. "PFL and GameOn are dynamic companies who are leveraging cutting-edge tech to deliver the next generation of sports fandom."
The PFL fighter roster is global and world-class, with fighters from over 20 countries and 25 per cent independently ranked in the top 25 in the world. PFL leads in technology and innovation, with its proprietary PFL SmartCage powering real-time betting and a next-gen viewing experience. PFL airs live in the United States on ESPN and ESPN+, and in 140 countries through 25 leading broadcast and streaming partners.
MMA is the growth sport of this decade with over 600 million fans worldwide, the youngest audience demographic of any sport, and true global revenue streams.
