  1. It happened to me once, and I made sure to let everyone know about it. Now everyone knows that Dungeon Fighting Championships in Las Vegas holds out its champions if they don't sign the contract extension the org owner forces on you at the end of your contract. People should know who the disreputable orgs are. In my experience, the only way to get them to get you a fight (as I eventually got with DFC after over 10 weeks) was to be as loud and obnoxious about it as possible so the org owner feel so much pain that he wants you out of his life. I mean, if you're quiet, why wouldn't he keep screwing you? If you make every day a hell for him he will either have to endure that hell every day or let you go to make the pain stop. But the real fix is to be very careful about contract lengths. Now I never sign a contract longer than 3 months and always only with orgs I trust... actually, pretty much all my fighters are going to CFC these days because Canadian Fighting Championships is run by a very good org owner.
  2. If you want to make a statement, knock him out - don't run away for the last 2 rounds.
  3. I had a great laugh at it! I think it's a hilarious easter egg Tycoon put in the game.
  4. If you are tired of hearing about this situation there is something you can do end it. You can ask Frankie Redz to give Hater Hurter a fight offer so he can finish out his contract. You might also include mention of how he shouldn't treat other managers like this because other fight managers might be equally vocal in their distaste of such exploitive and unethical treatment. You can PM him at his profile here: http://www.mmatycoon.com/managerprofilemanager.php?MgrID=534
  5. Seems to be a good workout program. Got a friend who'se one of the most athletically strong guys I know that has incorporated the P90X stuff into his workouts for the past few months and loves it.
  6. I love old UFC propoganda articles. This one basically blames MMA fans and media as "fickle" for not supporting Anderson after the Leites fight. I wonder if Thomas Gerbasi will describe Dana White as "fickle" for his "about-face" on Anderson after last night's fight...
  7. My fighter, Hater Hurter, is being held out without a fight by Frankie Redz of Dungeon Fighting Championships in Las Vegas who is using an exploit in the game to circumvent the inactivity clause. I'll update this thread as the days go by without a fight offer. Today: 68 days since the last fight offer.
  8. Ariel Helwani is live tweeting the press conference http://twitter.com/arielhelwani Some of the more juicy quotes: DW - I don't want to see GSP vs. Silva after tonight. Silva might be the first champion fighting on a prelim. I don't want to see that sh*t To end it the way that we did was an embarrasment for me, the ufc, the fertittas, the ufc I will, I dont know how yet, but I will make this up to the fans. - DW iF YOU'RE that talented, be mike tyson. go in there and finish -- DW. dw: this one took the cake - when asked if this was more embarrassing than 97 DW -- Frankie's win may be one of the biggest upsets in UFC history.
  9. haha I was thinking more like:
  10. For those interested in the status of the project: The capital has been raised and the concept is solid. Unfortunately, there is a significant impliamentation hurdle that has been difficult to overcome. There's really two issues that are holding this back. I'm probobly going to have to talk to Mike Tycoon to figure out how to best make it work. Well, right now Mike is busy dealing with Dungeon Fighting Championships and the silly stuff that's going on with that org. But after that hopefully we can make some time to work out the remaining challenges with this project.
  11. Porter's generic strategies teach us that there's really two generic strategies that apply here: price and differentiation. All fight orgs in MMATycoon is fighting over price. They want to offer the highest priced contract to get fighters. Since there are more fight orgs than good fighters, the fighters have significant buyer power. The only way to make money as a fight org is to differentiate your product in a way that is meaningful for fighters. To differentiate your product in such a way that fighters are willing to take a little less money than another org in order to be a part of yours. That way the fighter is happy because he gets a bundle of bennefits at least equal to any other org. And the org owner is happy because money is just one aspect of the bundle he's giving the fighter, therefore allowing him to keep some money for himself. Unfortunatley, this game is very rigid and it's very difficult to differentiate your product. However, if Pilgrim's Pride can convince customers it's branded chicken is somehow better than chicken in another package, you can find a way to do it.
  12. I would LOVE to do that. You deserve to see the threats this guy made... especially for anyone that still believes his ridiculous "oh, it just takes me 64 days to find you a fight" story. Unfortunately, my PMs only go back a week. You guys should ask Mike Tycoon to go back in the server logs and find them. I would love to make them pubic for everyone to see.
  13. You posted this: This is the guy, note that he says "He makes sure to send a fight offer once my inactivity is near too." He gets a fight offer, he knows it, he sees it. He can accept it. And he did accept it. So, please, stop lying to deflect from how you treat your champions.
