Looking for a new point and shoot

I am looking for a point and shoot camera for up to $750 less is better if possible, I will be using it for arena pro wrestling events. I would like a good zoom, there will be variable lighting scenarios, looking at something that can capture the action, I have a friend that recommended me the Canon SX530, I like most of his shots I got a Canon SX720 instead thinking it would be better or the same and it was horrible for this I put it on TV mode which is the shutter priority mode and everything was way too dark, this was the mode he told me he uses and he doesn't do anything else to the pictures.

If you want to see his shots go to @c4_rasslin_photos on instagram I would like to get shots equal to his or preferably better.

I use a Sony A6000 for smaller events where these cameras are allowed and I am close enough to use it, this works perfectly for that I know I wont be able to get anything of that quality but I would like a companion camera to this to use for these other events where I am not close and they are in a bigger venue. Also if there was something that would meet my needs and was on the more compact side that would be a huge plus but size isn't a deal breaker at this point.

I have looked at these, any thoughts? DMC-FZ300, DMC-FZ1000 and DSC-HX400V.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like you are looking for a superzoom. DPReview just did a roundup of "Long zoom compacts" literally a couple days ago. Check it out.
