    Matchroom and Predator cooperated for years, then had a falling out after 2022. The conflict between the two is hazy. No will talk on...

    I can't see another entity filling WNT's spot, at least not in the West. Its failure would be a warning sign to anyone else. Predator...

    That's the crux of the matter. Can Matchroom make the WNT a successful, moneymaking tour given the recent path of events? A few years...

    I will say that the Predator events are more fun to watch (probably an unpopular opinion on here) I like the set format, the shootout...

    I have mixed views on Emily Frazer's leadership. She's dedicated. She has a ton of energy. She's obsessed with making the tour a...

    The business models are very different, too. Matchroom sells tickets to its events. It runs a paid subscription viewing service. And...

    The two businesses are too different. A maker of cue and cue products and a media broadcast company. Matchroom would never get into the...

    Oops. I meant to say he was 35 in 1989, not 1999, when he was 45 as you note. The first match of decent video quality I saw of him was...
