Subject: Re: Shows in North Carolina Author: Chris Herring [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:29:19 01/19/08 Sat In reply to: Chris Herring 's message, "Shows in North Carolina" on 14:24:07 01/15/08 Tue 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.

I am pretty sure as they stand now to do a pro am show you have to have 5 ammy and 3 pro fights, or 3 ammy and 5 pro fights or some such crap. Its pretty dumb, and you have to have the amatuer fights before the pro fights, no mixing them up. The specific numbering and mixing of the fights for NC is silly IMO and just another example of people with NO CLUE about fights, promoting, or business are trying to dictate all three. State employees/apointees are at the tip top of my list of incompetents these days after I saw the "amended" MMA rules, especially after a 2 hour meeting to amend them. The changes were nigh non existant and the way NC is setting MMA up right now, they are setting it to fail. Hopefully it wont go that way. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
