Exactly - I think everyone wants TFN to have "exclusive locks" on certain programming (like UFC, Pride, WWF, etc.) BEFORE they get to the US, but that really isn't necessary, IMO.

ESPN doesn't have exclusive rights to all of NASCAR, the NFL, MLB, NBA, etc., but they still cover all of the above & have a very wide appeal as a result.

TFN is as much (if not more so) a fight-related news network as they are distributors of specific matches & PPV events.

Once they get established in the US, then I think the different leagues & organizations will start looking to them for the exclusive contracts.

Until then, they will still be able to cover anything & everything fight-related. It will still be a money-maker even without the UFC being involved right away, but income (and those contracts) will continue to grow as their reputation in the States grows.

As usual, all IMO!
