Glory 24 Denver [9th Oct] - OFFICIAL THREAD

[Bang Rachan]

So you're saying Spike is telling Glory how to run their show, yeah?? Well something went wrong with the negotiations there, didn't it? Either you're full of shit, or Glroy is even more incompetent then I thought.

But we all know Glory can do no wrong in you eyes, all is peachy. You Sir, as a professional Glory nuthugger, have no credibility whatsoever when it comes to an objective opinion. Plus you're making up shit as you go, shit that makes no sense at all, and you do it all the fucking time mate.

real talk

yeah???? yeah

Well something went wrong with the negotiations there, didn't it? Either you're full of shit, or Glroy is even more incompetent then I thought.

look, you don't know anything about tv networks, broadcasting deals, promotion, marketing or the fight industry itself, so why are you passing comment like you are some expert? To people who know these subjects well or in part - and there's a good few on this forum -you have just made yourself look like a complete noob.

What are you actually talking about? The basis of your opinion is what, how you think these things are or should be done? Armchair theory. Same as fat non-athletes sat in their barstools shouting advice at lifelong professionals on the television.

the huge influence Spike has exercised over Glory matchmaking and card format has been discussed endlessly on here, from well before your join date. You should post less and read more. With posts like this you're bringing a rubber chicken to a gunfight.

But we all know Glory can do no wrong in you eyes, all is peachy. You Sir, as a professional Glory nuthugger, have no credibility whatsoever when it comes to an objective opinion.

i think i am probably in the Top 3 people on here who has posted actual detailed informed critique of what glory is/has done wrong and posited some suggestions and tactics. As opposed to people like you who seem to think Glory should kick Spike's door open wearing leather jackets and a Rambo bandana and start telling the primary network how things are. (Where did you do your MBA btw?)

Plus you're making up shit as you go, shit that makes no sense at all, and you do it all the fucking time mate.

this is incredibly rude. I was so outraged when I read this I almost snapped a biscuit.

I know this is the internet and everyone is invincible but I have a strong suspicion you wouldn't address me like this in person. Try and keep some manners on you please.

The slang you use, I infer you are British. If you are anywhere close to Manchester city center, where i live, I am more than happy to meet up in person to talk kickboxing with you.

Every time I enter this thread - I hope to see a solid match up announced for a change, and I leave disappointed every time.

JJ has gone unhinged. Somebody must have poured him a subpar cup of tea this morning.

real talk

The real talk is the post below you.

With the rumors in regards to Spike/Coker/Kickboxing I wouldnt be surprised if this is the last Glory event.

JJ may be able to tell me how long the contract with Glory and Spike runs.

With them not even being able to name a single HW for this tournament yet and only having the main event signed which includes a guy who Spike is probably helping pay since he fights for Bellator now as well. It all just looks bad.

Glory has never announced much of the card before the event before.

don't know about the contract but in the present climate, viacom's share prices and stuff, i can't see them wanting to launch a new combat sports venture right now. I'd be very surprised if they didnt want to re-up with Glory. Very.

nah i'm just sick of reading the same nonsense over and over from people who dont know what they are talking about

So you don't think going to Europe and filling the card with Saki, Spong, Holzken, Buakaw, GSP, Pacquiao, Aerts, and Andy Hug is going to make Glory a success?!?!?

The old Glory of course but now I just cant see them not trying their own thing. Would have to find out what they are paying Glory for the content to really make an assessment though.

This new shitty Glory yes. The Pre-PPV Glory always announced the card, had a whole superfight card to go along with their main card.

The new Glory can only afford 3/4 real fighters per card and then the rest are scrubs.

Well I mean a Zombie Andy Hug would probably bring in huge ratings.

 

[Snubnoze707]

Why doesn't Glory sign Zombie Andy Hug??

Probably can't afford him...

Most of the time they announce the fightcard the event before. Even Pre- Glory 16 it was like that.

 

[Snubnoze707]

I dunno, I seem to remember cards being put together well in advance in the early stages of Glory. Then after the PPV flop they took forever to get out dates, venues and cards. At least they seem to have the location situation a bit more dialed in. I still don't think they sufficiently build up and market these cards properly however.

That is exactly correct because the post PPV Glory is not run by the same folks and its not the same promotion someone who I dunno bought the assets for pennies and is running a shit promotion.

All I know is I would fucking watch. Imagine those fucking zombie ax kicks.

??? this is not the case at all; some people were relieved of their duties after the PPV but that is all, there was no sell-off

 

[pantheist]

I bet if UFC cut Machida and Glory were to reach out to him and set up a match with him and Daniels it would generate enough interest.
