SAN DIEGO – Bellator president Scott Coker acknowledged Saturday night that there is “a lot of uncertainty and a lot of unknowns” surrounding the company.
Rumors have run rampant that Viacom, which owns Bellator and Showtime Boxing, is looking to get out of the fight business, leaving both combat sports promotions in limbo. Specifically with Bellator, Coker first acknowledged this past June that a merger with PFL was being discussed. Since then, he’s remained mostly silent on the topic.
That changed during the Bellator 300 post-event news conference at Pechanga Arena, where Coker fielded several questions about the status of the company.
