MMA promotion One Championship has signed a mega five year deal with Prime Video
One Championship continues to show promise as major fight promotion, this time by signing a flourishing five-year broadcast deal with one of the major live steam players, Prime Video.
The organization has been based out of Asia during its more than 10 years of existence, but has come to terms on a five-year deal with Amazon to see 12 events per year stream live on Prime Video in primetime hours in the United States and Canada. This will expand their business to international waters and global audiences.
ONE Championship and Amazon announced their deal Wednesday.
“ONE Championship is thrilled to work with Prime Video, one of the largest premium sports content providers in the world, to bring our live events closer to fans in the United States and Canada,” ONE Championship CEO Chatri Sityodtong said in a statement. “As the world’s largest martial arts organization, we believe our collaboration with Prime Video will allow us to reach a wider North American audience that is hungry for an authentic and differentiated product you simply cannot get with any other organization. We look forward to showcasing the absolute greatest martial artists on the planet right here in the ONE Championship Circle and on Prime Video.”
Although a date and location have yet not been finalized for the inaugural card of the newly commemorated deal, but it looks like it will happen by the end of this year.
“We are proud to add exclusive coverage of ONE Championship events to our suite of marquee live sports offerings,” said Marie Donoghue, vice president of global sports video at Amazon. “In addition to offering a full suite of martial arts disciplines, ONE Championship shares our mutual commitment to elevate female athletes, boasting five reigning female world champions.”
