Insights
Fubo's launch of BKFC TV as a FAST channel marks a strategic expansion in the combat sports streaming market. This move capitalizes on the growing popularity of bare-knuckle fighting and Fubo's existing success with BKFC content. The 24/7 availability of BKFC programming could increase user engagement and retention for Fubo's platform.
However, the impact on Fubo's financials may be in the short term. While it may attract niche combat sports fans, it's unlikely to drive significant new subscriptions alone. The real value lies in enhancing Fubo's content offering and potentially increasing ad revenue through increased viewership of BKFC content.
Investors should monitor how this addition affects Fubo's user metrics and ad revenue in upcoming quarters to gauge its success.
The launch of BKFC TV on Fubo represents a significant milestone for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. This expansion beyond their own app into a major streaming platform increases BKFC's visibility and potential audience reach substantially. It's a strategic move to capitalize on the sport's growing popularity and could lead to increased fan engagement and revenue opportunities for BKFC.
For the combat sports industry, this deal validates the marketability of niche fighting disciplines. It may encourage other specialized combat sports organizations to seek similar partnerships, potentially diversifying the streaming landscape. However, the long-term success will depend on BKFC's ability to maintain viewer interest and grow its fan base through consistent, high-quality content delivery.

About Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC)
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) is the first promotion allowed to hold a legal, sanctioned, and regulated bare knuckle event in
In BKFC, only those fighters who are established professionals in boxing, MMA, kickboxing, or Muay Thai are allowed to compete. The referees and judges are required to have extensive professional combat sports experience. All fights are held under the auspices and control of an Athletic Commission. Unlike other fighting organizations and combat sports internationally which claim to be “bare knuckle”, but require wraps, tape, and gauze; BKFC is true to its word as fighters are not allowed to wrap their hands to within one inch of the knuckle. This makes BKFC unquestionably the truest form of bare knuckle fighting. BKFC is dedicated to not just creating the safest, most exciting, and highest-level bare-knuckle fighting organization in the world, it’s also leading the way for a new fully recognized professional combat sport. BKFC is truly the sport of the future, which fully respects its remarkable past.
