I came across one of their Youtube shorts the other day, I kid you not it had 250 million views.

It's a complete embarrassment, but what else are these people going to do? They aren't saving or investing, they won't be able to retire, so fuck it.


I hate it but it's kind of smart because any bum off the street can do it. An endless source of entertaining KO's and since these guys aren't skilled you can pay them pennies and nobody is going to care. Make the necessary sacrifices now, so your kids aren't doing Power Slap in 20 years <45>

Lets hope not.

I mean sure if you look what is popular and sure it's easier to understand the slaps I guess. But to me it's boring concept without any variance whatsoever. Its just who slaps the hardest and who can take the slaps.

But its absolute dream for Dana if it happens. Nobody can battle with him about money in that "sport". He is absolutely the dictator of that business.

It’s like a car crash, people can’t look away when they’re scrolling along. It’s one thing to get people to watch a 10 second video. Totally different ball game to get people to tune in for multiple hours of it.

These power slap things always make me think of that early press conference where Dana was trying to sell us on power slap. When he was asked about how safe it was to just let guys clock each other in the face he initially said that there was a defense element to it because the participants could roll with the shot or some such thing, then in real time he was told that was explicitly not allowed and he just sort of shrugged his shoulders and was like whatever. Even he doesn’t believe half the shit that comes out of his mouth lol.
 



White, the Fertittas and Lamicella are making plans to expand Power Slap, including taking the event on the road and starting to sell tickets, like they did at the Durango event. They’ve signed new partners such as Fanatics and worked with Zynga Games to create a mobile game that has now been downloaded more than 7 million times. A host of states now allow Power Slap to be bet on legally.


White boldly thinks Power Slap will one day be bigger than UFC because it’s easier to understand and to participate in than MMA. Through six events so far, Power Slap is getting anywhere from 85,000 to 195,000 peak, live concurrent viewers on Rumble, according to Lamicella. An email from Rumble listed a Power Slap event as its No. 4 most-viewed video
stream of 2023.


Is he still pushing this stupid shit as a legitimate proposition?

It's grown adults slapping each other ffs lmao

I don’t think that’s reflective of true “paid” interest.

Why don’t they put a show in a stadium and sell high-priced tickets if there is so much interest?

They’ve got the attention of slack-jawed yokels willing to click play and watch a slap KO in under a minute, but converting that into ticket sales or streaming purchase sales seems highly unlikely.

If you put any of this shit behind a pay-wall it dies.

It is also not 250 million human beings, and I would be interested to know how many different human beings have actually viewed that short.
