Overview
- Speaking on Dominick Cruz’s new podcast, Faber said his manager saw GFL founder Darren Owen’s account showing $30 million, which initially prompted his interest.
- Faber now contends the funds were only briefly in the account, describing the display as a snapshot that did not represent money available to pay fighters.
- He says Anthony Pettis, and possibly Paige VanZant, received pre-checks from Owen before the promotion unraveled.
- The league had recruited prominent veterans and planned a May 2024 Los Angeles debut before cancelling the events in April.
- Outside of a cryptic Instagram post in October, the promotion has offered no substantive update, leaving its relaunch and fighter compensation uncertain.
