Mixed Martial Arts’ PFL Now Worth $1 Billion, Founder Davis Says

The Professional Fighters League will hold its first African competition next year, with Nigeria set to be a key venue in the latest expansion for the Mixed Martial Arts company that’s now valued at about $1 billion, its founder said.

Starting from May, the PFL will stage four events in two regions of the continent in 2025, Donn Davis said in an interview with Bloomberg, without specifying the other area of Africa. Helios Fairfax Partners, an investor in the National Basketball Association’s African league, will also have a stake, he said.
