MVP and PFL announce merger.
The global combat sports market has undergone a historic transformation with the official announcement of the merger between Most Valuable Promotions (MVP), a company led by influencer Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, and the Professional Fighters League (PFL).
Under the agreement, the entire PFL structure will be gradually absorbed and integrated into the MVP MMA brand, creating a unified global platform responsible for organizing major boxing and MMA events.
The new conglomerate will retain John Martin as CEO of the MMA division, while Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian will lead the board and strategic expansion. The initiative promises to challenge UFC hegemony, betting on more aggressive financial offers for athletes and a broad global broadcast reach.
