1xBet announces regional PFL betting partnership for 2022
In June 2022, 1xBet said it became the PFL’s exclusive betting partner in Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa. The company release came out on 29 June 2022. Focus Gaming News published it. The release said this was the PFL’s first betting deal of its kind in those regions. The signing day was not stated.
What the 1xBet PFL deal covered by region
The two regions got different packages. Latin America’s package covered the rest of the 2022 regular season. It also covered the PFL playoffs and the World Championships. The Sub-Saharan Africa package covered the rest of the regular season and the first playoff events.
How the PFL season works
The PFL runs a season, not single fight nights. Its 2021 guide describes a regular season. Then come semifinals and a championship. The top four fighters in each division made the playoffs.
The guide sets out the points system used that year. Regular-season victories earned three points and draws one, while defeats earned none. Stoppages added bonus points: three in the first round, two in the second and one in the third. A five-round final decided each division’s champion.
These rules are documented for 2021 and may differ in later seasons. The guide also records a one million US dollar championship prize per division winner for 2021.
1xBet release: names in the 2022 roster talk
The release’s roster discussion named Ray Cooper III, Kayla Harrison and Anthony Pettis. Those names framed the league’s fighter line-up at the time. They are not a current roster list.
The release had comments from PFL chief executive Peter Murray. Alex Sommers spoke for 1xBet. Both are company statements, not an independent view.
How the league showed its fight data
The PFL’s guide says the SmartCage measures live stats and biometric data. It also says Cagenomics brings those data to broadcasts. This is league background, not a look at 1xBet’s product or prices.
What the 1xBet release left out
The release does not state the signing day, financial terms or a term beyond the coverage windows listed. A later PFL release in February 2023 described an expanded agreement; those extra rights belong to that later deal, not this one.
