According to press releases, Fedor and Nog interviews, and DSE statements. They really want to expand all over the world now that they have to replace the FujiTV money. And so far they are doing it.

If Pride was going down, fighters would be leaving for other orgs, but the events are still amazing. Like the threadstarter said, they sure don't seem like they are in trouble. When Nog said that Pride got onto cable in Brazil, and it was attracting many people that aren't even MMA fans, you know Pride is taking off.

DSE has no choice, they have to enter new markets to replace the lost revenue FujiTV cost them. Do the Japanese ever give up and die? That is why I say that losing that TV contract was the best thing to ever happen to Pride. It has made them stronger and more global.
