Subject: Re: Shows in North Carolina Author: Brandon Weaver [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 00:16:11 01/19/08 Sat In reply to: Chris Herring 's message, "Shows in North Carolina" on 14:24:07 01/15/08 Tue Are you going to have professional fights with professional fighters? It seems EVERYONE in the state has a promotion company and plans on running alot of amatuer shows (hey the lack of payroll and no need for the insurance bond makes it more equitable given a certain size crowd) and I have seen and heard alot of guys names who to my knowledge have zero past experience in running/promoting MMA events. My question to EVERYONE planning on running promotions, is when are you going to have some professional cards? This is no slight to the above posters, for all I know they are planning on running pro shows only, it just seems the buzz around the state the past few months has been HUGE for Ammy shows.

[> Subject: Re: Shows in North Carolina Author: Chris Herring [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 05:29:19 01/19/08 Sat Thats a great point Brandon. I think the most successfull shows around the country are both, a Pro/AM kinda event. Thats what I was kicking around. 5-6 ammy fights, 4-5 pro undercard fights, then 1-2 pro main event(s) I've fought for quite a few promotions in different states across the country. I may have never promoted an event before, but I think I've got a good understanding of what it takes,I may be WWAAYYY off on that one. I agree Pro shows may cost more, but they are the way to go.
