kimbo305 posted:Feels modern social media offers a bit of a correction on that. Like naive fans trust Dana and the fighters' versions equally, and a savvier ones have all the evidence they need not to trust Dana. Eh that's probably boring, he's the #11 guy who people don't really know getting to fight the very famous #3 guy, he was probably good to go the whole time, wouldn't make sense to ask for more money from his position. BlindSite posted:Dana posted some angry caption over a screenshot of texts between him and one of the fighters managers I think Benoit so it turns out both fighters management who should be negotiating with Dana were aware and had agreed to the match and one neglected to tell his fighter or discuss it and another didn't bother to check his phone for days or something maybe. By vaguely describing this instead of posting a screenshot you are forcing me to scroll through power slap bullshit to find this.

Ah here it is. So this is Dana talking to Benoit almost a month ago confirming the fight...okay, wtf does he think this proves? Obviously it was Poirier that needed convincing taking the fight.

BlindSite posted:Well porier said he was always down for a fight it was the contract points he was worried about Right, Poirier was down to fight, he was just not down to fight this particular guy for the amount of money they were offering, I think the story about not being able to reach his manager is bullshit, but once a truck of money backs up to your house and the fight is on, you gotta say something, right? Who knows though, our sport is indeed dumb.

165 is not happening, but even if it was, why would they put conor on ufc 300? conor is a "make card big" free card, makes no sense to burn it on 300, an already big card regardless.

Quoting from the Sumo thread:MyChemicalImbalance posted:Chiyotairyu makes his MMA debut, bro should've stayed in Meatland What is this exactly? I heard it was supposed to be MMA but they're getting separated from clinches and knockdowns so I guess it is kickboxing? I found the promotion on Tapology but it only lists the first event and I guess this was the 11th? Also: 4 judges and crowd tiebreaker? weird but sorta...good?

CarlCX posted:From machine translating their rules page they apparently do both MMA and kickboxing, they just all use small gloves. But in MMA rules, no matter what's happening, you are automatically stood up after ten seconds. Ah gotcha. Chiyotairyu is like 35 years old and was never gonna be a prospect or anything of the sort (even in Sumo he was mostly memorable for his sideburns rather than his ability), but it would be nice if he at last fought under a ruleset that allowed him to grapple.

kimbo305 posted:I saw Luke Thomas linking it on Threads — it’ll probably have better numbers on social media over YouTube copies. I used to work in measuring the reach of video campaigns, but have no idea how it’s measured these days. Yeah sorry I wasn't trying to say you did anything wrong, Matchroom boxing certainly doesn't need the youtube ad revenue and trailers are traditionally okay to share/repost anyway since they're just free advertisement, was just making sense of the number.
