Should TITO ORTIZ buy the IFL?

I think it would make alittle since. I think he could make some money as the headliner, and could possibly draw better fighters to the stable. His name attached to a fairly wellknown promotion could equal abit of $$$$

what do you think?

Owning and running a buisness that size is so hard its ridiculous. He may be able to run his clothing brand and school, but an MMA org on top of that....I don't know. Especially one that is basically going to be hemorraging money.

not a bad idea. i honestly wonder how this would work out. i mean its not like their lacking in younger talent. so maybe a big headliner and a better produced package could really help them sell better.

The IFL is burying themselves right now, and I think I may chuck a lot of that blame at Jay Larkin (Mostly because the major crap started around the beginning of the regime)

The IFL made as much of an impact because they had a unique concept, the team format, and they've been abandoning that concept slowly and trying to replace it with other marketing concepts that are selling the IFL short.

If Tito were to buy the IFL, he might as well take those millions of dollars and just shove it right up his ass.

I think he should just focus on his fighting career.

I don't think he should buy it... He should make his own team(Team Punishment) to compete in IFL. It would promote his fighters and his clothing line.
