10 X is an insane amount, they might actually be bigger than PFL now and this could pose issues for UFC.

Lol

 

[Sycho Sid]

Yeha, but 10 times 1 is just 10

 

[svmr_db]

BKFC is too brutal and niche to ever become mainstream enough to truly compete with the UFC, normies can't stomach the level of damage these guys take.

 

[sdpdude9]

10x makes it seem like a lot but what was the baseline? 10x of what? If it was a low amount to start, 10x isn’t going to be a lot.

 

[milliniar]

10x 10k still just 100k.

Its a fun piece of entertainment but it isnt unique enough, its just slightly modified boxing without gloves and with 00s UFC presentation. The skillset being so close to a higher paying more respectable sport is always going to keep the talent level pretty low. Who the fuck is gonna choose to be a top bareknuckle guy over being a top boxer or UFC champ?

Massive growth…

Talent level won’t be as high but I think promoting fighters correctly can over come that.

People who watch UFC simply believe they are watching the best. 95% of their fan base probably don’t watch other promotions to know what other level fighters exist out there.

Having the best doesn’t actually matter, you just need people to think you have the best.

 

[Bobby Boulders]

They don't really need to compete with anyone else. I believe BKFC could become big business in Europe, and especially if Conor actually fights for them

They said the same thing about the UFC 30 years ago

With projections like that they may catch the UFC.

But they will get left in the dust by PowerSlap

The sport isnt exactly new, this happens to be the biggest BKB promotion in the US, it will take time but they might become legit, UFC competitors? Not a chance, the Conor shtick will wear out way before they become big enough to be considered UFC competitors.

I mean the Conor shtick hasn’t worn out for over a decade. Bigger star in combat sports for over a decade. He’s the biggest star without fighting.

Yeah and the UFC has been extremely sanitized if you want to compare how things are today vs then to make it more attractive to commissions & the general public.

There ain't no sanitizing BKFC lol, the brutality is off the charts.

The schtick of Conor being everywhere, drinking, promoting Proper 12 but not fighting, it will wear out, trust me, it will, if you dont think it has lost some steam by now then i dont know what to tell you, he is a "non retired" fighter that doesnt fight, give it some time, it will wear out way before they are actually big.

I mean rated X movies for blood and gore has done really well at times. Some of the most popular UFC fights are far more violent and gory than BKFC.

I just gave a homeless guy a ten spot.

He only had a dollar on him. Increased his net worth 10 times.

 

[Pharenheit]

Bareknuckle FC is more exciting than 9 out of 10 ufc cards. Just a matter of getting it out there and marketing it to people
