Competitive sports have always been a major draw for television networks, but could competitive pillow fighting be the next big thing? Sean Perry and his company, 2500 Media, seem to think so. They have recently secured the television rights to the Pillow Fight Championship, a professional pillow fighting league founded by Steve Williams in 2021.
The Pillow Fight Championship is the first of its kind, featuring professional fighters engaging in pillow combat. These fighters come from diverse backgrounds, including Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) and various athletic disciplines. Some competitors have even been NCAA Division I Athletes and current or former UFC combatants.
This recent development comes on the heels of Sean Perry’s deal with Craig Piligian’s Pilgrim Media, now part of Lionsgate Alternative Television. Piligian, a figure who helped launch Power Slap – another unique fighting competition – brings his expertise to the table. With experience in the world of fighting competitions, Piligian’s involvement adds another layer of legitimacy to the Pillow Fight Championship.
Sean Perry expressed his excitement about the future of the Pillow Fight Championship, stating, “What Steve Williams and Stephen Appel have brought to life is amazing already, but only the beginning. Much more to come in the months ahead as we assist in growing PFC around the world.” With plans to expand the reach of the league globally, it is clear that Perry and his team have big ambitions for the future of competitive pillow fighting.
Looking Ahead
As 2500 Media continues to make waves in the world of sports broadcasting, the future of competitive pillow fighting looks bright. With the backing of experienced television partners and a diverse roster of skilled fighters, the Pillow Fight Championship has the potential to captivate audiences around the world.
