GFL events Cancelled!

[Ares Black]

Conor should step in and fund this

He literally can't afford it

 

[Dorkman]

With what we've seen from BJ Penn this week, the senior fight league that would have been gfl closing shop is likely a blessing.

lol

Can't believe it!

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Maybe GFL can get on the Rampage vs Rashaad boxing card if everyone chips in together

 

[El Fernas]

Tony Ferguson vs Dillon Danis, they REALLY went to the bottom of the barrel to try to get Ferguson a win.

The saddest part is that I don't think Ferguson would even be the favourite to win

 

[Daniel Henry]

I was raised to respect my elders so fuck it I'll donate $2 to this promotion

 

[BoxingMMA]

This would have been an excelent event for Jake Paul to try his hand at MMA. He is young, strong, athletic. If I recall correctly he can wrestle (???) and the pool of fighters he would face are right up his alley. Washed up MMA fighters willing to do whatever for a paycheck.

Maybe legend Jake Paul wins and builds a name for himself in the MMA space, hyping us up for the Usyk vs Jake Paul MMA match that's been brewing!

So many great times ahead.

Oh and also, ahahahahahahahhahahahahahaa

 

[Söze Aldo]

All the money was spent on this

 

[Tweak896]

Do these retired fighters really think they are worth 500k+ enough to not get red flags from signing? I mean you have to know it's unsustainable.

Cmon, this video costs a midjourney sub.

 

[Morris88]

Shit's like the Wild West out here

 

[Neck&Neck]

I’ll always remember the GFL inaugural Draft
Shit was lit yo

Securing Goldberg and Shaub probably broke the budget

 

[vinnie245]

No fucking surprise the investor pulled out as they still dont even have a media deal, without a media deal there is no money in this promotion, period.

 

[BEATDOWNS]

Tony Ferguson vs Dillon Danis, they REALLY went to the bottom of the barrel to try to get Ferguson a win.

I would have picked Danis. tbh

 

[El Fernas]

I would have picked Danis. tbh

Fair enough, he is a shit MMA fighter but he is supposed to be legit on the ground.

 

[jeff7b9]

Gotta put on my shocked face.

Whooda thunk it?

 

[Bend NvR Break]

Is it just a way to scam the investors? Because some fighters did say they were getting some money since last year.
The shit never looked viable and the "draft" was terrible production, but the guys involved in that presentation did get some money too.
My guess is the "promoters" are making a run with the money from investors who wanted to invest in MMA (because UFC makes money) but have no ideia how the business work

It seems like the investors won't pony up the money needed to actually put on the show

 

[MyNameisMyName]

Just postponed apparently.

Haha

/thread...not much more to be said. I'm sure Dana will have a little smirk on his face when someone ask him about during the next big presser with a brief 'this is a tough business' comment, and maybe a swipe at PFLattor.
