HDNet Planning Super Fights

HD TV channel HDNet have announced that they intend to air some super fights in the future.

The company has their own brand of MMA, HDNet Fights, but also airs events from other shows on their channel. They also own their own arena, the American Airlines Center in Dallas, Texas, which they allow partner promotions to use for their events. HDNet Fights has been very quiet as of late, but we are assured that this is due to big things happening in their department.

Here is what HDNet Fights CEO Andrew Simon had to say:

"We have the ability to partner with pretty much any organization out there, and when the timing is right, you're going to see us promote again some super-fights."

"We're going to be pretty opportunistic when we want to promote ourselves. We're in a little bit of a different position than everyone else. We have our own television network. We have our own arena in Dallas with the American Airlines Center, and we're not into it to just put on fights every month ourselves just because. I think you're going to see when we come back it will be a pretty big fight."

"When HDNet is the promoter, number one, it's going to be something pretty big. Congrats to the Affliction guys. They're putting on a pretty big show of big names coming up, and I think you'll see we'll do something similar, or bigger names as well. If we can partner with various organizations to do it as well, we will. There's no ego on our side. We have the ability, like I said, with our eight or nine partners to really work and bring the best fighters from a lot of organizations together."
