WOW for a little promotion on Rumble with Dana White's Slap promotion that is quite the big talk. Who do they even have as fighters?

Is this the promotion Rampage was talking about fighting for?lol Maybe they’ll do better than Golden Boy MMA and actually have more than one show.

Not sure... But to offer fighters ( talking about a roster full ) million dollar contracts... you need a billion dollar bank roll...

This sounds like a drunk guy telling his friend about the awesome business idea he's just cooked up...

"Bro... All we have to do is book the arena, and tell the fighters we'll pay them a %... So we'll get the best fighters, and everyone will want to see them so they'll pay in advance, and then we get the venue, and the fighters on the day, and all we have to do is 3 instagram post per day... we gonna be rich, bro..."

Just pay the guys is all I ask. Don't pull that stunt the other Bare Knuckle company did...

Thats it - these guys are ALL scumbags, so listening to the latest scumbag-in-line talking about how much he wants to pay people, rather than slapping a million dollar contact on a table for someone isn't a great look...

Just how involved was Bas in that?

I know he worked for them, but he wasnt one of the owners that ripped off fighters, was he?

$1M dollars

* Over a 10 year fixed contract *

That sounds like something Jake Paul would do

I hope to get a million dollar contract. It’s nice to hope.

Unlikely Fighting League.

$10,000,000 I'll fight Tito tomorrow. It's been a while since a Sherbro has taught one of these professional MMA guys a lesson.

I wonder if there could be enough valuable (in terms of drawing interest) fighters floating around as free agents to put together a show a few times a year. Wrangling 8-12 fighters a few times a year would be cheaper than building a roster, but the problem is that other orgs build rosters and you're left with retired fighters or people who just happen to be a free agent at the right time.

One of the things I hope results from Francis' success is more fighters willing to walk away from the UFC and I hope, instead of them getting roped into other orgs, the landscape changes so that it's possible to be a free agent and fight for different organizations.
