Overview Pro League Network makes sports for the internet out of a studio in Branson, Missouri, among them CarJitsu, where two grapplers hunt a submission inside a car, the doors stay shut and the seatbelt counts as equipment. The rest of the slate runs the same way: SlapFIGHT Championship, Chest Chop, Coffin Wars, the Putt Tour mini-golf series, Ultimate Throwdown Wrestling and Str33t 3-on-3 streetball, shot live every week and built short and wagering-ready. The network calls itself part league commissioners, part storytellers, part stand-up comedians. Bill Yucatonis and Mike Salvaris co-founded it in December 2022, with a corporate office in New York. On site The Branson studio, unveiled in December 2023, has its own sound booth, custom lighting, green screens and a control room, and most cards are shot there. At a SlapFIGHT bout three referees work the table: one behind the barrel for strikes and flinches, one kneeling for steps and pivots, one on replays. Fighters stand on 2.5 inches of padded foam with cotton in their ears and sit out 60 days between matches. In Coffin Wars each fighter starts on the bottom of a grappling position and has to get out of the coffin; Chest Chop trades open-hand chops to the chest, no headshots, scored on style and sting. The shows travel too: CarJitsu ran on the undercard of PFL Dubai at Coca-Cola Arena, and a Coachella pop-up in Palm Springs put a CarJitsu match inside an 810-horsepower Mustang RTR. Audience The audience watches live and online, on YouTube, Twitch, Rumble and the network's own streaming site. The formats are cut for betting: in 2023 the network's combat output was going to sportsbook operators including DraftKings, bet365 and Betfred across 16 states. Talent and Influencers Kai Cenat, ImDavisss, Agent00, Fanum, Duke Dennis and Chrisnxtdoor fought a Friday Night Fights card in a living room at the AMP Summer House, with MoistCr1TiKaL on commentary. T-Pain streamed two nights of CarJitsu and the Chest Chop premiere on his own Twitch channel. Kevin Garnett's Big Ticket Sports launched Str33t with the network in Los Angeles, and UFC's Randy Couture and Mark Coleman held a thumb-wrestling rematch live at BRINXTV Studios. Vincent Bryan won the CarJitsu 15 Grand Prix, and Tim Sylvia has fought in SlapFIGHT. Track record The network acquired SlapFIGHT Championship in September 2023, three months before the studio opened, and SlapFIGHT bills itself as the world's original slap competition league. KB Partners helped it close a $4 million seed round. It won a 2025 Hashtag Sports award for its work with Kai Cenat and was shortlisted in 2024 for Media Company of the Year and US Rising Star. Brand presence Lucky Energy presented CarJitsu 12 and powered the CarJitsu Grand Prix Finals, and the Dubai card ran as CarJitsu Showdown: Nissan Magnite. Because a CarJitsu match happens inside a vehicle, the car itself is the set, and OnCore Golf came in as the partner when the Putt Tour relaunched under that name. Partners can also take a whole series.
