Q: Do you have any comment to former PRIDE staff?
Fedor: I
don’t think this is the last event I work with them. M-1 Global has a
business plan to hold events starting next year. M-1 Global is
actually approaching them and asking to support their events. I
believe M-1 Global will cooperate with former PRIDE employees to create
great events like PRIDE had before in Japan.
