"The Professional Fighters League today announced that Peter Murray, CEO of PFL international leagues, will be departing the organization. As founding CEO of PFL, Peter played an integral role over the last eight years in the league's growth and evolution, helping to strength the organization's business operations, expand its global footprint, and establish PFL as a force in the sport of MMA. His leadership and commitment were instrumental during a period of significant development for the company."
"Per a release on Thursday, the promotion announced that Murray, one of the founding CEOs when World Series of Fighting rebranded to PFL, has left the company. Murray initially joined in 2018 as a former executive of William Morris Endeavor, where he oversaw a litany of changes to the fight league including establishing a tournament system. He also oversaw the absorption of Bellator MMA after its purchase, which resulted in many Bellator staffers being brought over to help run PFL."
