Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby is getting into the bare-knuckle fighting business.

He’s not throwing punches but instead he’s making a financial investment in BKFC to become a part-owner in the promotion in similar fashion to UFC superstar Conor McGregor. Crosby is a well-known fan of combat sports and now he’s putting his money to work to back BKFC.

“Bare knuckle fighting is raw, real, and incredibly engaging for fans,” Crosby stated in a press release. “I have always been passionate about combat sports, and I see BKFC as a platform that not only showcases the incredible skill, talent, and athleticism of these fighters but also brings a unique and authentic experience to combat sports enthusiasts.”

BKFC has enjoyed significant growth over the past few years, especially with expansion into more and more international markets. In 2024, BKFC traveled to Spain for a show staged inside a bull fighting arena and the promotion has already announced plans for events in both Dubai and Italy in 2025.

David Feldman Built BKFC From Almost Bankrupt To $400 Million

When David Feldman of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship held his first bare-knuckle boxing event in 2011, a staggering 700,000 people tried to stream it, crashing the...

I wonder if this is anywhere close to accurate valuation. Did Feldman sell outright, or does he still own a stake? I always felt like he sold the majority (51% or more), but kept a large stake for himself. I don't know why Triller would be selling ownership since they were acquired by China.

Someone's going to have to explain to me how companies and sports teams that lose fuckloads of money somehow become "worth" 400 million dollars. I don't ever see a bkfc event actually turning a profit at the gate. Mind you uber is "worth" 9 billion dollars and has never had a profitable year
