Words With A MAD Coach

Jump Into The Flow

Celebrity boxing is evolving from a sideshow to a significant arm of the combat sports industry, with events featuring influencers and former athletes garnering massive audiences. This trend blurs the lines between traditional competition and entertainment spectacle, transforming casual viewers into paying customers.

Keeping an eye on how promotions balance celebrity bouts with traditional fights will be key to understanding the future business model of combat sports.
