Apparently Dream DID NOT LOSE it's Primetime slot

From the UG:

From ADCombat.com:

"FEG-USA top dog Mike Kogan contacted Kid Peligro and ADCC News regarding the rumors that DREAM had lost its TBS contract. Mike stated: "We're still with TBS and still have primetime slots. HEROS had 4 prime time slots with TBS, DREAM replaced HEROS and we are planning 7 events (6 in Japan and 1 in Korea) plus Dynamite. It was impossible to get that many prime time slots so we decided that we would have the first event on prime time, the next on one week delay. We will have the two Grand Prix finals and Dynamite on Prime time."

The rumors started recently when DREAM 2 was not scheduled for a primetime slot but rather pay-per-view, Mike explained: "Pay-per-view is a growing market in Japan and this actually is an additional revenue stream for us. I don't know where these people get these rumors but this was all negotiated last year so nothing has changed."

DREAM middleweight grand Prix begins April 29th in Tokyo, Japan!"

Seems like the American MMA media fails at covering Japan once again.

Anyone got that link on Sherdog's homepage stating that Dream had lost it's TV deal? I want to see if they misreported it without any sources.

Sherdog should make an adjustment/update on the article they wrote or rewrite another article with this information, correcting themselves. Also, I don't think they even wrote an article about the HDNet and DREAM partnership yet. Most other sites have reported it, but nothing on Sherdog.

This will make it's way to the Heavies in a week or so.....The UFC fanboys will be all in a fluster, and then the bashing of all orgs outside of Zuffa control will begin.

When DREAM has a better HW division than UFC, I better see it on the top forum.
