With 18 fights on the card, including a featherweight bout between Danny Ramirez and Richie Palomino, LXF 15 promises to be an exciting night of action.
Merriman, who played for the San Diego Chargers and the Buffalo Bills, started LXF in 2019 and has seen it grow rapidly. The promotion already has distribution deals with Fubo TV and Fubo Sports, and Merriman plans to partner with three more platforms in the future to reach an even larger audience.
The success of LXF can be attributed to its increasing popularity and notoriety. Merriman stated, ‘We’re having a fight every six weeks, and we’re almost forced to have an extra six or seven fights just because of the notoriety and eyeballs we’re having now. This one’s big.’
Lights Out Xtreme Fighting 12, held in December, was the most-watched event at the time, with a viewership increase of over 90% compared to LXF 11. The promotion’s growth has been remarkable, and Merriman believes they are just getting started.
The upcoming event, LXF 15, will take place at Thunder Studios in Long Beach. Fans can watch the action on Fubo TV and Fubo Sports, with plans to expand to additional platforms in the future.
