You must have a differnt requirement regarding training time and work up than I do if you can fish for guys to jsut load up and fight MMA for someone they dont know, and more important for someone who doesnt know them.

I say this because I know some promoters and promoter's sponsors will often shell out travel and per diem money for trainers bringing fighters to an event. Sometimes the money never gets past the trainer, and the only reason I would think a trainer would look for fighters he doesnt know and has no vested interest in them is a "pay by the pound" sort of deal to get a couple kids jazzed up about fighting take them somewhere they get their asses whipped and pocket money the promoter may have provided.

I am not saying you did that or that was your intent. But I am saying if a trainer suddenly wants fighters on short notice and has no personal or professional interest in them, it looks mighty fishy to me.

Author: colin haag jr. [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 16:09:31 02/24/08 Sun I understand where you are coming from. However, I needed to recruit two fighters for an ammateur team competition that was put on by Champions Family Fitness/ M.E.K.A out in Portland, OR. Being that it was not pro, the fighters didn't get paid. They only get their name out there and a dvd copy of the fight night. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
