The T8KO thing very much seems to be with Andrew Tate. Looking at their instagram all they've posted is Tate stuff. Think his brother posted about the promotion too. Interesting business move from Enfusion to position themselves so close to the Tate's lol.
Enfusion also added some upcoming events and the T8KO events seem to be done in the same manner as Glory Rivals events are, or should I say how they were done...
An Enfusion card leading into a T8KO card the same evening.
Doesn't seem like there will be any Rivals events with Enfusion, for the next 5 months or so. My suspicions of Glory Rivals coming to an end looking pretty good now. Hopefully Glory gets back to a monthly schedule themselves. Perhaps they'll announce upcoming things on the Glory 82 broadcast.

I actually think this is a smart move by Enfusion. Half my friends hate Tate and want to beat him up, the other half think he is hilarious. Guess how many of my friends know who Rico or Superbon are? Zero lol Tate's infamy could bring in serious money and young fans.

Zero lol Tate's infamy could bring in serious money and young fans. That is definitely one half of the coin. The other half being that they might seriously alienate companies from working with them by buddying up with Tate. If they were entirely separate shows just sharing fighters and production people in the background, it probably wouldn't matter that much. Running shows same day at the same venue like with Rivals is a bit riskier tho. Just this year they've had organized crime/ties to money laundering and near rioting on at least 2 events. Add Andrew Tate's name into that mix and boom... Would viaplay want to keep being associated with Enfusion if anything happens at one of their shows again? |

My personal feelings about Tate aside it's still an obviously dumb move.
I get Enfusion wanting to step away from being niche and associate themselves with a name that's currently known by the mainstream and perhaps appeal to 'anti-woke' crowds. However, like Shadess said it increases the likelihood of (potential) partners shying away from Enfusion in order to protect their reputation. I'm pretty sure that's business 101.
That said, Enfusion has been surrounded by whispers of having deep rooted criminal ties for years now, so their reputation obviously isn't a main concern.

- Both Kryklia and Azizpour should fight in Glory.
- Alexandre won the 50k bonus and announced his retirement.
- Apparently the Haggerty decision was controversial.

Bonjasky's kickboxing podcast for a Dutch news outlet. This episode featured Robbie Timmers. Remy asked some critical questions about the matchmaking and what the point of their rankings is if they just match up whoever. Timmers said especially since COVID the rankings aren't always an accurate representation of who's who and that sometimes they just look at who hasn't fought each other yet. It was good to see Remy (somewhat) call Timmers out for some of the stuff that has people scratching their heads, like Plazibat vs. Catinas, but Timmers was very evasive and even refused to confirm matchups that we were already told are coming like Alistair vs. Rico. |
