Why did the PFL buy Bellator?

At this point it seems like a complete waste of money. For the most part their own events haven't become any more stacked. The Bellator v PFL champions event was cool but beyond that they really haven't taken advantage of an expanded roster. They've pissed off a lot of Bellator fighters and cut ties with them. Fighters who could have easily been inserted into one of their tournaments and done very well if not outright win the entire thing. What was the point? They killed off another promotion, one that was more popular than they were, and basically did nothing with it. This is such a disappointment. submitted by /u/junjoz [link] [comments]
