canceling a show isn't exactly a good thing
Best news of the night, right there.
Ticket sales must have been in the toilet.
Most likely but I would love to hear a real explanation and not whatever BS will be sent out on a press release Monday.
Canceling a show is as bad as it gets.
Yeah, well they'll spin it as best they can, that's just how they'll have to handle the embarassment of cancelling a show. The only reason could be, poor ticket sales, and lack of interest. What this supposed to be on PPV Evan??
No I believe word was that was going to be in early 09 when they start doing PPV's.
Now almost all of pro-elites smaller shows have been canceled.

This fooking sucks...they have effectively killed off about 10 shows. Good work Pro Elite.
Maybe they are going to sell?
"The fact that they’re canceling shows and concentrating their efforts on the next CBS event suggests that they’re trying to reign in their costs. The risk-reward ratio is considerably more favourable for a network broadcasted event; and for a company that is quickly burning through its cash reserves, they must begin generating more than they spend".
Gee, so basically they are putting everything they have on this one show in Sept and killing everything else because they just can't afford it.
"The IFL is dead, and both Elite XC & DREAM are heading into dangerous territory. The MMA business at the end of this year may very well look exactly like the professional wrestling business on a worldwide scale — one major company (UFC… like WWE) and everyone else not even close."
Dana White and the UFC are likely doing backflips as he continues to talk trash, about his compe ors bleeding money and going nowhere, while the UFC just keeps rolling. You are right Evan about them. They put too much stock in that hack, Kimbo Slice. Maybe this kind of thing will force Fedor's hand and he'll finally come to the UFC after all. In a year or 2, there may be no place else for him to fight.
Sad day...
Man I hope they pull in a lions share ratings wise. That's a lot of MMA orgs that will fold over night.
But all the guys worth seeing i am sure the UFC will scoop up anyway right??
IMO here is a funny video with Kimbo and the best RB in football...watch it...but anyway I cant for the life of me embed a video!

LOL, what the , i don't even know what to say about that
post from sherdog
I was stunned at 4-8
Yeah I subscribe to Playboy (for the articles ) and Dana was interviewed in this month's magizine. Sorry I can't post a link b/c I do not have on-line access. Not sure if someone posted this b4 but here 10 highlights for the interview.
Note: I don't know how much unknown or surprising info I'm gonna post but I figured I would share anyway. Also note that I am NOT a fan of Dana but in fairness I will just post facts from the article without any personal bias.
1. Dana was actually an aerobics instructer teaching "Boxercise" at a gym in Boston. **Someone PLEASE photoshop a pic**
2. He thinks that one day the UFC will be bigger than the MLB, NFL, and World Cup scoccer. **Intresting fact is that last year TUF beat Monday Night Football in ratings for the 18-43 demo.**
3. During the 1st season of TUF, The Contender was also on and the fighters in the house saw that their boxing counteparts were making $25,000 a piece for the show. They then called Lorenzo and said they wouldn't fight without pay. After Lorenzo passed the news on the Dana, Dana said, "Really? Would you like to fuc*ing bet?" Dana then went to the TUF house and told the fighters that they were going to fight for free or he would send them home.
4. He once got the S*it kicked out of him by a few guys in a bar in Boston. Hs is now deaf in his left ear b/c of that fight. The fight started b/c these guys were harassing his sister and he went up to them to defend her. I don't like Dana but those guys are a bunch of p*ssys.
5. In 2004 and UFC was $44million in dept and Dana had negoiated a deal to sell the UFC for $6-$7million to some investors. After the deal Lorenzo called and said, "F*ck it we're for $44million lets go another $10million" With that $10million they worked a deal out with e TV to start TUF and the rest is history. Dana says if it wasn't for e and Lorenzo the UFC would not be around toay.
6. Dana's 10% ovnership in the UFC is worth around $200Million
7. He HATES Gary Shaw, thinks Mark Cuban is a "smart guy" but thinks he doesn't give a Sh*t about MMA, and has nothing but respect for Donald Trump, says he would never say anything bad about Trump and "he could have my seats anytime."
8. The UFC covers all and any medical expenses for fighter injuries that take place during an UFC event.
9. His main focus with Lorenzo coming aboard is to expand their international reach.
10. Bragged that 91% of UFC fighter make more than $50,000/year and 44% make over $100,00. **Once you take out taxes and training exp I am NOT impressed with that number**
Anderson versus Chuckles?
NBCSports.com has an interesting piece up on its website right now where it mentions that if Georges St. Pierre isn't ready to fight BJ Penn on the UFC's New Year's Eve show in December than the UFC may be interested in booking Anderson Silva vs. Chuck Liddell for the show. That fight has a few obstacles in its way as well. Liddell is facing Rashad Evans in September and Silva is facing Patrick Cote in October. However if both fighters are healthy going into December than the UFC is reportedly very interested in booking that fight.
Another fight being thrown around in case Silva or Liddell are not ready by December is Forrest Griffin defending his UFC light heavyweight le against Wanderlei Silva.
Why does Wanderlei deserve a tle shot?

LOL damn Dana is pretty damn funny. Brock has a long way to go, but maybe if he can keep dominating he will bring Randy back.
Good read on a very weird dude

Does anyone know what the Spurs Talk record is for pages on 1 thread?
Anyway......
o negotiating with the UFC again.
http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2008/8/18...egotiating-aga
I do not like o but as I have said before o is awesome for the sport if he can compete at a high level. Not even elite, just high level...lets say just winning 2/3 fights. I think he could bring an org to ruin with his financial demands but the UFC can afford him.
lol
“I don’t know if we’re really negotiating, or simply helping o stroke his giant ego,” an unnamed fight company representative is quoted as saying in Stupp’s article.
A couple thousand pages.
o fighting Lyoto was like a big you to him on his way out the door. Bad stlye, bad matchup for him. The better fight for him was a rematch with Rashad, a fight he was winning and i feel still won in spite of the pt deducted. But the sad truth is, he can't beat any of the top guys. I'd like to see him come back and fight Rashad again, but i heard that he may go down to 185, after Chuck whips his ass. I want to see o back, but who can he fight at 205??
LOL, he had to have been kidding around. Brock got Sub'd by Mir, Fedor is like the ing Yoda of Heavyweight Submissions. That Submission would not be a matter of if, just when if he fought Brock.Dana on a LV radio station: - "Theres no doubt in my mind that Brock would smack the out of Fedor"
