We will be taking sponsorship for EMT and an ambulance on site.


:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Some suggestions.

1) I think its a great concept that should be followed through with. I'm sure you could find a few pairs to fight every show. You can't have sponsors for an illegal event. Surely there are people here who know boxing gyms or kickboxing or BJJ gyms in Vegas or Nevada that can tell you how to arrange a fight and meet the states requirements.

2) I think you still have to deal with the legal aspect and the Nevada Athletic Commission (not a big deal as far as i know - but i am not familiar with Nevada laws on competitive fighting)

3) I would not use "MMA" to describe it as that will not really resonate with people and it has a pretty specific meaning and is associated with highly skilled, vicious and world champion fighters... but rather something more enticing like "GFY Fight Night" or whatever (not the best example as it requires GFY participation and support)... but something that's appealing to everyone that says "forum scores are settled here", so it becomes the industry default way to call people out and settle it between willing parties. I know in Alaska they used to allow what they called "roughhouse boxing" in bars where basically anyone could just show up and fight anyone, no physicals, no coaches, no nothing. I'm sure that in at least one of the states that has webmaster events, it would be allowed.

4) Adult is only a tiny slice of the webmaster world. There are massive forums full of online marketing dipshits and fueds to pull from. Consider other opportunities for other fights/fighters to participate and other venues and webmaster events to host them at.

5) Fighting is a highly regulated business. No matter what, you still have to define the fighting style and the rules, required equipment, number of rounds, length of rounds etc, I would guess to be in compliance with state law and you'd have to brief all the fighters of the rules before the fight.

6) If Vendzilla wants to back up all his comments, threats and insults as he claims he wishes to, I will definitely go to Vegas just to do it.

I'm in, just have to deal with a nose that bleeds easy.

As far as the weight classes, 265 is what I weigh when I'm skinny, way over that now. Last time I got in a full out fight, the guy was 6'5" and weighed that, I lifted him above my head and slammed him face first into the floor. We're friends now!

And that shit stain Squalor is going to have to prove that it's him I'm fighting and not someone he paid. Never seen a pic of him, has anyone else?

Interesting, thinking about all your "stories",.... I realized that i've never met a bad ass that had to work so hard to continually qualify himself as a bad ass.

But then again, i've also never met someone who insists that getting hit with boxing gloves make his nose bleed, where getting hit with bare fists do not.

This idea went over like a lead ballon last time, sadly. Maybe it's time to revive it.

I might actually get to meet you finally?

.. you haven't met me at a show? Weird.

As to the suggestion that Mark and I be one of the fights, he'd just pussy out and waste my time. I haven't said much about this, but I had a stroke last year and was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) recently, so I don't move quite as great. I'm still willing to step into the cage against any challenger -- handicap or not. I love it.

how tall are you ?

Ah man sorry to hear just had a family member diagnosed with MS. Keep your head up and best wishes to you....

I'm down! Haven't fought MMA in over 15 years but would sure be fun.

Should maybe do it tournament style covering the days of InterNext...

:2 cents:

He said 6'3". 265 would still be very fat. Arnold Schwarzenegger was Mr Olympia at 6'2" and 240lbs. So the math is pretty easy to do... and he's clearly not done it at all before talking as with most other things he's said. ;) This is what 6'2" and 240 looks like: PIC

But the truth according to him is that he's taller than a unicorn with more strength than 10 magical dragons, meaner than Attila the Hun's red headed step child and possesses better fighting skills than Jet Li, Chuck Norris, Jackie Chan, Van Damme and Bruce Lee combined. At least this is what i'm getting from all of his really bizarre claims and threats and promises.

One would almost think he was bluffing out of desperation after all of his absurd threats.

Either that or he's the most spectacular old, fat guy around. Either way, its certainly something to behold.

Holy shit! How many tranny fights have you been in? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

There are still real life grudges here? I thought all the grudges were between random blogger types that don't go to tradeshows.

The ski/snowboard industry convention does boxing fight nights between rival industry journalists, company owners, athletes, etc at a nearby bar, sponsors ring everything, every one loves it.

I'm 6'3" I have a 21 inch neck, if I lose a bunch of weight, it will get down to 19 1/2

Ring sizes go from 15 to 18 depending on the finger, My jeweler had to buy a bigger size pole to make my last ring.

When I was training many moons ago, I had to train with guys 2 or more belts above me because of my reach and power.

I got tired of this troll and called him out, we'll see if he shows. I'll be there. I have no idea what he even looks like or what he does in the industry. He could disappear from this and no one would know.

I have him on ignore, I hate trolls

I got approval to do this years back from AVN. It's a nightmare. You need a license in Nevada, get insurance, pay off the right people, etc. Dirty Danza was my partner in this living in Vegas. He can shed a lot of light on it, and why it's just not worth it.

I'll be going to more, I'm taking over a Social network hopefully very soon that's adult. That with the affiliate network that I'm helping to launch later this month, going to be a busy ride. I've be in Vegas twice in January.

Sorry to hear about your health. My doctor has done a bunch of tests on me because of me passing the 50 mark and I just need to lose weight. My back is great, good knees and my sense of humor is spot on! I'm enjoying my life, getting out all the time and doing things!

Like my trip to China early this year!

Still my muthafuka hero!

You will need to adhere to NSAC rules on weight classes. This would be put under an amateur label. After you pay off everyone on NSAC, get the million dollar insurance policy for the event, insurance for the location, health insurance for all figthers, pay off the officials, refs, et al. you are set. At any time, if NSAC decides you aren't following their guidelines, you get shut down. There are no smoker fights in Nevada, well there is, but there aren't any that are charging for advertising to make it a for profit show.

Washington state has a mutual combat law. :rainfro Seattle show?

Suddenly, this is a selfie thread? :winkwink:

I was just up in Seattle on my way to Billingham a couple months ago, very doable. Plus they have some great beers up there.

There's the event! We have 10 one-minute rounds. Between each round, you chug a beer and do a shot.

There you go, hard hit to the kidneys and watch someone spew all over the ring girls?

I'm in!

3 minutes between rounds would allow fighters to load up on cheeseburgers too.

That was going to be my suggestion, to do it as a smoker or exihibition. Not sure if the NSAC has anything to do with those or what you could and couldn't do in regards to them.

I don't know about Nevada, but typically even for smokers you have to deal with the state regulating authority.

Fuck that -- I did a 10k run where you had to eat a Krispy Kreme and down a beer at every stop .. it was awful. If you puked, you were out.

Oh my god. I don't think I could ever do something like that. I'd puke right away.

Did you make it?

What about parking lot fight

wait... what you just call me?? YOU'RE GOING DOWN STEVE!

It will have to be a ladder match because I'd need one for uppercuts..

im in... and I got a promoter that will promote it under his license :) bring franck out... :)

no matter what you need insurance... promoters license... Doctors, EMT's everything it's still considered unarmed combat here... but I got a line... and I'm itching to smack someone.. who wants to fight me... ill go from 155-135lbs and won't turn down any webmaster on the board here.....

Shouldn't that be JT's Sponsorship with "Fake Hospital"

a smart man :Graucho

He said they also pull your hair out.. you've seen his avatar right?:winkwink:

I retched, then decided that the last 2k or so wasn't worth puking for, and I walked it, hahaha! Still sucked.


Royal Rumble! Let's rock. Broken beer bottles and shanks, right?


Let's catch-weight at 215. I'll start eating now and be up to at least that by January. :thumbsup


That'd be .. epic.

JFK vs Baddog vs Mikie B. winner gets exclusive photo rights for all the 2015 shows.


:pimp

Ohhhh man that sucks. Sorry to hear. But should give Mark more incentive to jump in the ring now. You are beatable.

instigator

It does seem more complex than I originally thunk. still have hope. KEEP HOPE ALIVE!!!

Rho vs Ben!

Allegedly. :winkwink:

I might need your help if this is going to happen.

135!?!? I haven't been 135lbs since I was a sophomore wrestling in high school. How tall are you?

Dont mess with Steve. He dates Urijah Faber

only if I can go all Karate Kid sweep the leg yes sensei on his ass.

all kidding aside it would probably be easier/safer to keep it as a boxing match with full head gear and big gloves. I'm not sure if any of you have seen people pretend to fight like mma fighters but its a fucking mess that usually ends up with 2 people falling over, twisting their knees and breaking their fingers/knuckles. Would be more entertaining too because even regular mma with pros is boring as fuck once it hits the ground and they are actually good at it.. heh

I imagine that had to suck. I don't think i could last too long with eating something like that while doing intense cardio. I'd throw up after the first one most likely. I would also imagine there'd be some weird energy spikes, crashes, hypo/hyperglycemia etc making it really hard, if you could keep it all down.
