Justin Barrasso is reporting that Vince McMahon made a play
to purchase Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and while
meetings were done, BKFS founder and president David Feldman
said that he was not ready to relinquish full control of the
company he started.
“He’s a great guy, his whole team is great, but the timing
wasn’t right for us,” Feldman told Barrasso. “He’s Vince
McMahon – if I were him, I’d want creative control, too. He
was awesome, very complimentary, and he was very serious to
do business.”
McMahon recently launched his 14TH & I sports and
entertainment investment company, with his former WWE
lieutenant Brad Blum as the company’s president.
Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, based in Philadelphia,
is the first promotion allowed to hold a legal, sanctioned,
and regulated bare knuckle event in the United States since
1889.
