Joe Schilling Reveals That GLORY Let His Contract Expire

[K1power]

GLORY issued a statement through us from GLORY CEO Jon J. Franklin about an agreement of sorts between Bellator and GLORY to exchange talent with Schilling vs. Manhoef being the first such fight. It turns out that Joe Schilling has another story, one that involves the company letting his contract expire without talks of renewing and that they had absolutely nothing to do with his move to Bellator outside of being unresponsive to him.

As much as I'm agreeing with the Glory lynch-mob, I feel there's something left to be said about the 'loyalty' of its (ex) employees as well. Remember when just months ago Schilling in interviews and any other chance he got he was like "Wow, Glory is such a super awesome organisation, best I've ever worked with, hope to finish my career in this fantastic organisation yada yada" and the second there isn't a huge check coming his way he's instantly burning all bridges from his end as well, throwing a big fat FUCK YOU at them publically. Pretty much the same with Saki and to a degree Spong (even though I can in some ways relate to Spong as Glory really screwed him over in a couple of ways as well).

As an org I'd be extremely weary signing those types. And people questioned me back when I called all those fighters publically kissing up to Glory fake..

With Joe I think that a lot of it has to do with his manager. We all know how Mike Kogan can be and Kogan's "tactics" are usually just like this. I mean, look at Nate Diaz and Roy Nelson and how they "negotiated" with the UFC. I actually think that both guys got fucked in the end and just went back and fought, which means that you shouldn't trust Mike Kogan's tactics, but hey.

Oh shit, I never knew Mike Kogan was managing any of those guys. I just know him as K-1's 'head of operations' for K-1 in North-America a couple of years ago and him being the horrible co-commentator of Michael Schiavello that we all used to make fun of here.

Mike Kogan is a fucking idiot, every single guy he manages ends up having renegotiation problems. No idea why anyone would sign with the guy.
