“I don’t think we’re a minor league at all,” Kay told MMAFighting.com recently at an event to promote Premier Boxing Champions on Spike. “That’s just lawyers talking. They have to position stuff a certain way.”
“Bellator athletes lack significant public notoriety, in part because it is a ‘minor league,'” the filing states. “Bellator’s bout purses, gate revenues, attendance figures, merchandise sales, television licensing fees and ad rates are minimal compared to those obtained by the UFC.”
