I agree and think SF as we know it is done. Realistically is there anyone on this planet that thinks Dana will give up anything and/or anyone that is worth anything to him to even give SF a chance?
Not a prayer!!!
He has stolen and bled the entire SF's roster already with more on the way and why would CBS or even more so ShowTime as a "Premium" Station and Channel want any part of that rotting carcass?
Nobody in their right mind would buy into the dead horse that is StrikeForce! It is done! The last major show did the 2nd worst in the history of Strikeforce Events since getting the ShowTime Deal. And this was not for lack of effort in their best attempt to put their very best foot forward with everyone and anything left and many if not most considered still top level MMA talent and still pretty big draws in themselves.
I say the New deal is done before the year is out and maybe well before! I think CBS and Showtime will be putting every offer possible on the table with ProElite in order to make a Deal!
I doubt they will want them to go anywhere else as CBS and ShowTime are already posed to do battle with the UFC and Fox. I am not so sure they want to go into that battle with the UFC and effectively Fox calling the shots and quite willing and ready to leave them the unloaded Derringer and probably even closer to Pea Shooter that is StrikeForce.
And lets look at the other end of things with the recent loss of Top Executive in form of Ken Hershman at ShowTime Sports who was responsible for bring MMA to CBS/ShowTime ( with the Deal initially with ProElite and later on with StrikeForce ), who Ken has gone to the Top position at HBO( I had already called HBO sometime ago as a strong potential Dark Horse ) and also keeping in mind ShowTime had already lost Manny Pacquiao with his Promoter Bob Arum on the Boxing front back to HBO.
Does ShowTime also want to lose MMA to it's top competitor in HBO much less leaving CBS do battle with Fox with nothing in the chamber? I think not but that just a big guess on my part.
It will be interesting for sure! And in the meantime in my opinion ProElite is doing very well with it's major TV Deal with HDNet and HDNetFights and it very well poised to make it's next big leap with the highest bidder! All GOOD for the company and the Stock!!!
Go ProElite!
