Should Amateur MMA Fighters Get Paid & Why?

RumbleZone · 10-26-2001, 10:47 PM

Many of you have voiced opinions on this, and I wanted to track the percentages.

Do you think Amateurs should get paid?

Why?

How much for a Singles Match?

How much for a 4-Man Tourney Win? 2nd Place? 3rd/4th Place?

Should we provide them a hotel room to be shared eith another Fighter?

This is important - I am planning to speak to the Advisory Board about this on Monday. Any ideas or opinions would be helpfull.

Thanks,

No amateur fighter should not be pay, why? because it's allready problem to find enough money to provide a good mma and its hard to bring people to a amateur show, so you should put more money on making sure everyone ear about your promotion.

Overall it seems to be "expenses only" is leading the way. And we may implement "expense assistance" into our Champions Quest Tour.

What about a local "tournament" format, where all types of fighters compete together and battle in 4-man tourneys.

With the winner advancing to a Regional. The winner would receive a Sponsorship Package worth a certain amount of cash if the winners will market the sponsors products?

Plus, winners will advance to a National competition where they would compete for greater Sponsorship prizes and a Championship Belt.

Just an idea? I want to get some feedback.

These events will be called "Ultimate Challenges" and be held during the week on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at local night clubs or hotels.

Let me know.

Noone is falling for your thinly veiled trolling here.
By definition, it is impossible to have amatuers that get paid. Im sure you already knew that before you asked though.
