Rumors floating around today involved a Strikeforce sale within the next couple of weeks.  Those rumors started swirling yesterday, when Greg Jamison stepped down from his position as CEO and president of Silicon Valley Sports & Entertainement, a group which manages among other entities the San Jose Sharks, HP Pavilion venue, and the MMA promotion Strikeforce.
MMARising was the first to quell the rumors, as Strikeforce president Scott Coker told them there was no truth behind the budding MMA promotion being for sale. MMAPayout contacted the former SVSE CEO and president regarding his resignation and whether the move would impact Strikeforce or any other SVS&E entities in any way.
“As is the case with all properties owned and operated by Silicon Valley Sports & Entertainment, Strikeforce is not for sale and the day-to-day operations of Strikeforce will continue under the direction of President Scott Coker,” said outgoing SVS&E President Greg Jamison.
In the midst of the rumors floating around, Paul Heyman’s name came up as a potential buyer, most likely due to the fact that Scott Coker recently mentioned that Heyman may be involved with the company in some capacity in the near future and that a potential announcement could be made in the following weeks. Â Heyman also told MMAFighting that he and some financial backers almost purchased Strikeforce a few years ago, and only last minute changes in the contracts resulted in the deal falling through. Â An official announcement regarding Heyman has yet to be issued by Strikeforce.
