Elite XC : A Company on the rise!

right now , i'm keeping an eye on K1's Heros.
and will even more so if the likes of barnett & fed will fight over there.

 

unfortunantly eltie xc is already in financial trouble, they're publicly traded which will actually HURT THEM as they won't be able to as easily find new sources of cash for operations. they have a few things going for them, as they've bought a lot of small groups and have working arrangements with several other groups, and the showtime deal is huge, something ufc doesn't have which they want. as for the fighters, they've got a long way to go before they can groom fighters to rival the popularity of the ufc, and will have to go along piecemeal with people regarded as ufc castoffs. ufc has DEEP pockets and anyone who's got real potential would want to fight ufc right now as it's regarded as the top level in mma.

I hope elite can compete and keep monopoly away from mma.

 

Wise men would ignore these companies now or face the turmoil boxing is in.

UFC champ is now linear (once the champs unify). After that, nothing matters - K1, EliteXC or whatever these companies are.

Generally UFC is failing anyone, they give the bouts that matter.

 

Bit of a naive way of seeing things when there are MAJOR players in the K1..atsch

 

I don't know about "Major" players, there is some good fighters there, but mostly the ones that dana didn't want.

 

You are all helping to bring down MMA then. Pretty much everyone looked at Pride and UFC as the two top dogs. Even you did. Now I am hearing more about K1 etc Admittingly I think I heard of K1 before Pride and UFC but UFC and Pride were the premier players.

Now that they have merged if you all let K1, Cage, Elite etc get big then don't blame anyone in ten or fifteen years when MMA is in the exact same position as boxing.

WBO and IBF should be nobodies but eventually the fighters, fans, promoters etc gave them legitimacy and now boxing is suffering more and more.

 

I'll enjoy the fights but jus tbeware. Shamrock v Baroni was amazing.

But don't complain in ten years. I'll tell you - you made your bed now sleep in it.

 

Its the same meat diffrent gravy achilles.I dont really care much for the UFC format and will always be a PRIDE fanboy thats my bia. The eastern format is just so much more of a pleasure to watch and Hero`s WILL fill the vacuum that PRIDE left wether you like it or not.They have legit fighters and legit world champions in there own right.

We can all expect a perfect world but this is the fight game and naturally the disparitys go with the territory.No one cares much for Cage rage, Elite XC, but for a dead cert Hero`s can no longer be ignored as a mere freakshow.But by the same token there are some very decent scraps that are happening in other orgs other than what the UFC have to offer. Dana isnt stupid his a smart astute businessman akin to Frank Warren.And i assure you Dana will tread the same path that Warren has.
