"I think a lot of it depends on May 16, right? We're putting a lot of fire power, star power, distribution to the event. If it works, and I'm very confident it will work, yes -- MVP will be involved in MMA over the long term."
"[Netflix is] really a difference maker in being able to stand up a product that can be viewed as top-tier distribution and exposure for the athletes, so May 16 will be tell-tale in terms of what's possible."
"I'm confident that we will have one of the, if not the most viewed, MMA event in history, just like I was confident that Paul-Tyson would break streaming records in the U.S. versus any form of content."
"We've had no shortage of interested athletes reaching out to us to be involved."
Most Valuable Promotions is set to debut in mixed martial arts on May 16 with a Netflix card featuring Ronda Rousey and Gina Carano.
