Super Deuce posted:I don’t know why, but I have some irrational dislike of Aspinal. I don’t care for Pavlovian, or really any heavyweights that are at the top right now. It sucks for me. I want Francis to be blasting people into orbit again. There's an English fella by the name Lord Aspinall who has a multi-part series on "behind the bastards" podcast going right now, and they might be related or something

Unperson_47 posted:I don't know a single person who has ever said one word about power slap so I don't know where these people are that watch it or if they even exist The metrics touted around are so off the wall that I assume they're buying views and engagement somehow. To the extent that they need to to a) make claims about it being that popular b) so that YT will shove it in my face all the time, along with alt-right manosphere stuff no matter how much I mark that poo poo as "don't show me."

Fozzy The Bear posted:Up until 2016 the owners of the UFC were trying to grow the business as best they could. It's not even that, Dana has fully hit the point of petty business tyrant where the business just exists as personal entertainment. If they were trying to extract as much cash as possible they would be putting on way better fights

Its a majority DWCS fighters with a sprinkle of better paid contenders at the top of the main card.

Hollandia posted:Even the comments on their social media promotion clips are pretty universally negative, it really does feel like they're using The Secret but with the end goal of giving people brain damage in the simplest possible way short of just hitting them in the head with a hammer. Just refusing to let reality get in the way of the thing they want to happen. I'm pretty sure that Powerslap's ratings were slightly worse than what you would expect if you showed dead air and hoped that people fell asleep during the prior show and kept their TV on. They also steadily declined. Dana either solicited a valuation based on social media interactions which you can literally buy or completely made up the valuation, but in either case he did it to promote Powerslap and his own personal brand because that's show business in the 21st century baby!

On the topic of feeling good about ONE Championship, there's still no word on Christian Lee's return, so ONE has decided to do the only sensible thing and remove their 170-pound rankings altogether. Just stop promoting MMA. Just stop. It's fine. You've got John Lineker doing Muay Thai. It's fine. We get it.

It's pretty perfect for the first fight on the last real Bellator main card ever to be a deeply unimpressive Patricky fight.

Gumball Gumption posted:It's not even that, Dana has fully hit the point of petty business tyrant where the business just exists as personal entertainment. If they were trying to extract as much cash as possible they would be putting on way better fights The two aren't necessarily separate. Dana likes rockem sockem type fights. The UFC has made a lot of money while he's worked there. Ergo, Dana's taste has been a part of making the UFC successful. Ergo, a specific sport that was just two dudes hitting each other with nothing else to get in the way is also likely to be succssful. It's both what he wants and also something he's genuinely sure will succeed because, like a lot of people in power at successful companies, he doesn't fully understand why the company has been successful. I mean look at how many companies that have been previously successful have kneecapped themselves in multiple industries. blue footed boobie posted:because who else is fighting in that division lots of people. Welterweight has been a really good division, combining depth and fun guys to watch, for a really loving long time. He could have fought Luque, or Ponz, or any of the other guys on good win streaks at the time.

https://twitter.com/DealStreetAsia/status/1726435269744701838 Apparently ONE's financial shellgames are finally catching up with them, Qatar is 'embarrassed' about their investment in them, and ONE's scrambling for new investment because the Bloody Elbow reports they claimed were lies were of course true and their actual cash revenue is somewhere between $5-8 million.

I was gonna say, Conor's "it was just business" while Khabib punched him in the face was pretty great. Colby Covington trying to complain about his knockout stoppage around his own broken jaw was fairly gratifying.
