I’m told a good portion of this new funding will be devoted to fighter acquisitions.
As noted, the PFL now features even more high profile investors, including Ted Leonsis, owner of the Washington Capitals and Wizards, Mark Lerner the principal owner of the Washington Nationals, and high profile TV producer Mark Burnett.
