Strikeforce and Shine International score worldwide broadcast deals
Strikeforce programming is coming to Europe, Australia and Latin America.
The mixed-martial-arts promotion and Shine International have sold more than 70 hours of programming across six markets in the above regions, Strikeforce today announced.
Strikeforce's 30 highlights shows (which first aired on NBC) and 56 hours of other fight footage that originally aired on Showtime, as well as live events through February 2012, are part of the deal.
Virgin Media Television's Bravo in the U.K., Turner in Latin America, FX in Portugal, Ukraine's Megasport, Seven Network Australia, and Dahlia TV in Italy have all purchased the programming.
"Strikeforce is the leader in mixed-martial-arts content as proven by the huge demand for their programming around the world," Chris Grant, president of Shine International, today stated. "They have the world's best fighters, the world's best events, and they know how to translate that into fast-paced programming that captures what will soon be the most popular sport in the world."
Strikeforce, a longtime kickboxing promotion, added MMA to the mix in 2006. After initially airing "highlights" episodes on NBC in 2008, Strikeforce then struck a deal with Showtime in February 2009 for traditional live shows and its prospects-driven "Strikeforce Challengers" event series.

Since when?
UFC has better fighters, DREAM has better events, and Strikeforce Miami (for example) was slow paced enough that I had to resist the urge to fast forward to the fights.
