Sengoku is dead..

Another one bites the dust:

As we already announced in an immediate report last time (on Feburary 1, 2011), our company is at a turning point and we have to make a tough choice now.

Our mother company, Don Quijote, who is also our primary sponsor, has just officially announced that they will be withdrawing their support. We would like to honestly tell the truth since we are already to the point where we cannot do anything else. Here is what Don Quijote feel:

"We have been supporting MMA with only our passion and dreams, regardless of the huge deficits it caused. However, our passions and dreams have been misunderstood. But some heartless media who have picked our organization apart in magazines, and we have been suffering as a result of this. We have run out of patience."

However, Don Quixote is not trying to retreat from the world of MMA completely, and we will still continue to sponsor Shooto, Pancrase, and groups which we support now such as amateur wrestling groups.

"We may also sponsor other (small) groups if they ask, although we are not going to change our company's decision; we are retreating from big event businesses like SRC."

It is a shame to reveal our situation, but the reality is that we have to throw our hands up without the mother company and sponsor companies which we have counted on.

Our only hope is that another company like Don Quixote provides sponsorship for us that has a passion for MMA. World Victory Road has said:

"If there is a company which has passions for MMA and could support (SRC) with a decent amount of money, we would like to give them total support."

However, if there will be no company whom can help us, we have to think about the worst case scenario: the end of SRC.

In any case, we would like to say sorry to fans of SRC, athletes, and everyone who supported us.

 

Indeed. But to be fair Japanese MMA has been imploding since PRIDE's demise.

 

Erm but they didn't. Japanese MMA has been crumbling on it's own. I guess you're also happy about FEG and K-1 kicking the bucket right?
Additonally if you actually think monopolization of a sport is good for fighters and over all competition then im not entirely sure why you watch this sport Achilles. :think

 

Why don't you learn to ****ing read you dumb ****? Where in my post did i say i didn't want to see any of those bouts you stupid **** stick? You always have an axe to grind with me. I point out what i see as a CLEAR disparity in MMA currently and you're still towing the company line like some ******ed blind schill who isn't even capable of formulating his own opinion other than the shite the UFC hype machine feeds you. Get back in your box.

 

YOU DONT LIKE IT DONT ****ING READ IT! So if your the model of objectivity why have you spent your entire stay here bitching about Fedor? Iv beaten your ******ed ass down numerous times and yet you have an axe to grind with the GREATEST OF ALL TIMES. Imagine that the barometer is set that high but somehow some stupid canuck thinks he knows better because you're just schilling for the best bouts right?
So Sengoku goes down the pan but your a fan of MMA and just want to see the best bouts and thats a good thing right? You are far an away the most wotless useless vacuous piece of **** poster on this board. You want to sit their and bleat about name calling? Well how about you take a dose of shut the **** up and wind that thimble neck in instead of spitting your dummy out when someone doesn't agree with your UFC bull****. You're the one that started this crap not me.
I make a thread about Sengoku's demise you aim a barb at me and then somehow don't expect anything back? Im a fan of this ****ing sport! So **** yeah i want to see Sengoku stay afloat. Of course i want to see MFC M-1 Bellator SF DREAM etc because thats what FANS DO! They get behind their sport not cheer lead for a ****ing organisation because it suits their simple mindset.
Now get off my ****ing case you piece of **** and **** off.
