From IFL Senior VP, Joe Favorito: I apologize for this mass email but I wanted to take a second to let you know that as of July 31 my role at the IFL will be no more as the company goes into its final stage of being sold and/or closed down. We are very proud of what we did here in just over two years, building a brand from nothing into something that people in the industry and outside of the industry actually noticed, and I enjoyed working with so many different people and helped tell some great stories. At the end of the day sometimes the finances don't make sense, but it certainly wasn't for lack of trying. The good news is I think we have gotten all our good junior people placed in some great spots, so we are pretty proud of that. Even our interns landed in good places. In the end, not every business venture can thrive. We all know why the IFL failed, so there is no point in rehashing that now. But I will always acknowledge that the IFL did, by and large, treat the fighters, fans and media very well. They produced some great action and memorable moments. I suspect others will learn from the example they set. Ultimately, that's a good thing. ...

Freddie Prinze Jr. apparently likes a bloody, sweaty smackdown as much as the next teen heartthrob. The thirtysomething actor, better known for winning tender hearts in romantic comedies than breaking heads on a wrestling mat, will join the creative team of World Wrestling Entertainment , the company announced last week. No title, start date, or specific responsibilities for Prinze were available, but a press release did mention that Prinze—who is married to Sarah Michelle Gellar, another teen favorite from her stint on Buffy the Vampire Slayer —is a "long-time fan" of WWE. It's unclear how that—or Prinze's puppy-dog eyes, which starred in chick flicks like She's All That and Head Over Heels —will help him help WWE. The company is facing increased competition in the extreme sports and fighting programming category, both from established players like mixed martial arts company Ultimate Fighting Championship, and upstarts like the International Fight League . Still, the addition may actually make some sense. Prinze has "a high profile and is part of the core 12 to 34-year-old male demographic" that constitutes WWE's main audience, says Brad Adgate, senior vice president at media planning and buying agency Horizon Media. "A lot of people are gunning for WWE because of the size and scope of its viewers. It probably makes sense to energize the brand," with an addition like this. Plus, Adgate predicts, the actor will have insights int ... Source: www.boxxet.com --- 28 days ago

Penny stock International Fight League (IFLI) has seen better days. In early 2007, as the sport of mixed martial arts (MMA) soared in popularity, the upstart IFL piggybacked on the success of the Ultimate Fighting Championship and saw its stock climb to over $15 (and its market cap sky-rocket to $1 billion). Now the IFL is a shadow of its former self, a true ($0.01) penny stock. However, yesterday the stock saw incredible volume (3.48 million) and shot up 33.33% on rumors it was going to be taken over by the UFC. The privately-held UFC is no stranger to buying out its competition. Its acquisition targets in the past have included PRIDE Fighting Championships (a reportedly $65 million deal), the World Fighting Alliance, and World Extreme Cagefighting. The key drivers behind this buyout by the UFC would be: the IFL film library (which includes 400+ fights) IFL fighter contracts (although not all may be transferable) cheap price (the market cap of the IFL currently sits just over $1 million and the rumors swirling around have the UFC buying the company for even less than that) While other Fight organizations have been mentioned as potential buyers, the UFC is the only company with sufficient scale for a purchase to truly make sense. So don't expect a bidding war, especially over an asset that no one is really that excited about. ...
