This has been coming for a looooong time.
The refocus on Europe came far too late.

I very fondly remember this and then Mike's response that Patrice spoke English and Moroccan fans speak French better, so they needed someone who spoke French. Then offered him 3x his pay to postpone the fight to a Kader Marouf-run event instead.

You may be wondering what I've been up to since LiverKick sailed off into the sunset. Taking care of my kids, mostly. But remember that book I released back in 2015? I wrote a second one right after and spent a lot of time getting it right, until Lori got pregnant and, well, the costs of doing this all on my own were a lot at a time when I found out I was having twins and everything was going to cost a lot more than expected. I still honed it and at a few different times swore I'd never do anything with it, that I was done with sci-fi and genre stuff entirely, etc. Yet, here I am, in 2019, releasing said book along with a follow-up that I wrote this year. I wrote it during the kids' nap time and intentionally made book three more intimate and personal. While book two is a grand, galaxy-spanning adventure, book three is more insulated and claustrophobic. It all opens the way for more books next year. So, yeah. Buy my books? Here's the series link.

LOL, fucking Lawrence Kenshin.
ONE will take anything and amplify it as expertise or sterling media coverage for them. Jesus.

Granted, I don't get too involved anymore, but from what I've been hearing they're trying to get together a big Dutch soccer stadium show for this summer. But like... It's almost April and if you wanna do a show in June that doesn't give you much time to... never mind.

Scott Kent has sent me another fight poster.
I've once again told him that I don't run LiverKick.
It's almost like... people don't listen?

Facepalm.gif ONE does a lot of things that pisses me off, but man this shit in particular rubs me the wrong way. My day job is as a corporate consultant doing private investment diligences and I've seen the same game played by a hundred different fake startups. I've seen some colleagues who went to Singapore for their MBA get headhunting calls from ONE as well, specifically cause they want the lie by PowerPoint skillset. Imagine paying some 28 year old MBA a magnitude more money than most fighters on their roster for this shit I'd say ARE YOU KIDDING ME, but this isn't abnormal at all from what I've seen. Imagine being as brazen to just say "well, we can't get accurate numbers from a region, so just kick those numbers up 4-5x."

WFL currently streaming one of their smaller events live on Facebook: www.facebook.com/WorldFightingLeague/videos/301884470523533/What I find curious is that they mute the parts where copyrighted music is playing and have an on screen graphic explaining it. I always wondered about that during the broadcast of live sport events; are they breaking any laws or does it fall under some sort of fair use policy? You have to license the music to play it. During a live event it's usually not an issue, but depending on how it's broadcast it can be an issue. So, say, if someone used a Beatles song, that'd probably be super expensive and there's no way anyone is paying for the license.

And remember that GLORY at one point made a run at Floyd as an investor, with the hopes of him being a public figurehead for the company.
I specifically remember someone in DA BIZ saying that Glory folks were whispering about getting a -- and I'm not making this up, as cringy as it is -- "black Dana."

Actually watching video of him talking about it he seems like he's just gleefully fucking around. It's so bizarre, I wonder if he's doing it for fun or if the Floyd fight was some ongoing plan by Rizin to get more coverage in English media? So I've been saying this for a while now, and while I don't have hard evidence to it, I feel like I have enough to go on to feel confident in it. All of the EXPERTS have already wagged their dicks around about what Floyd/Tenshin "really" was, but fuck that. Floyd held RIZIN up unless they met his specific terms. Those terms involved him "looking strong" against Tenshin and involved RIZIN giving his company a further platform in the future and Floyd working with them a bit to "help out." Since RIZIN couldn't air the Tenshin fight in the US due to Floyd's contracts, this is a gimme of sorts. His guy will fight Tenshin in a straightforward exhibition where everyone will look fine, nobody will "win," as per usual, and this can air on the US streams, not that it matters because it's not Floyd fighting. I'm sure that RIZIN wants Floyd to actually appear and hype the fight up, but that would cost more money.
