Professional Fighters League

Paul and the PFL CEO Peter Murray have created a pay-per-view division called “PFL PPVC Super Fight”, which it guarantees the fighters will receive 50% of the revenue generated from its events. This is huge for the fighting community as it has been a notorious fact that they, repeatedly, get left out of the money-making equation when it comes to putting on these events.

Fighters all around the world are going to get a great chance to showcase their skills and get paid the way they deserve to be paid in the new league known as the PFL. The PFL is a league that fights for fighter advocacy and equal fighter pay. PFL fighters have a bright future ahead of them with the likes of Paul joining their force.
