GLORY CEO Talks About Preparing for a Bright Future with GLORY 23 and Dynamite on the Horizon



..Franklin was involved with GLORY previously, but his role was in assisting them with television rights deals and not running the entire organization. After some reshuffling after GLORY Last Man Standing failed to deliver in PPV sales last year Franklin was placed into the unenviable position of the CEO of GLORY and basically just told, “fix it.” GLORY started off big, just as big as the shows it was replacing from Japan, but the problem was there was really no market for it anymore and the shows, while impressive, helped the organization to bleed money for the first few years..

Lol, I can see that from some corners of the kickboxing community.

While I might disagree with some of the things he says, I don't think he sounds unreasonable.

I appreciate that he's looking out for the company's interests and has cut costs for them.

On the other hand, he's justifying stuff like the Glory 23 tournament, which, I don't know. At least San Diego had the Levin/Marcus fight. I think that Daniels is a swell guy and maybe with more seasoning could be a major player, but he's just not ready for Holzken again.

There are zero fights worth watching on Glory 23 and that stinks. The SuperFight series is a different story, though.
