Other than for curiosity, why would I as an MMA fan care about any of that? Does Chatri owe you money? One Championship has pretty interesting cards with nice production values and a decent roster. And the cards are totally free on YouTube or Bleacher Report Live. So I enjoy it for what it is for as long as it lasts.Everyone knows ONE is a farce at best.
Chattri is hype oriented business guy who more or less is a conman in a business suit. Everything he does is propped up by investors and I highly doubt any of them every see a penny out of it. Its amazing he still can find people to invest in his schemes.

It's simple, as a fight fan I like having interesting promotions to watch with a good roster and nice production values and most importantly interesting fights and tournaments to watch and if it's totally free online to watch at my convenience, so much the better. It would be nice if One Championship was more transparent about the weigh-ins which they gave rectified somewhat in 2019 with the public weigh-ins on YouTube and if they didn't use such ridiculous hyperbole to describe the 2.7 billion potential viewers and other silliness. But I'm not going to let such minor issues stop me from watching any more than I am going to be upset by any of Dana White's weird decisions with interim belts or let his biases stop me from watching the UFC either. I mentioned this before, but some people on these forums act like the CEO's of these promotions owe them money and they want help to get it back or get revenge.i mean, i care about the shady shit (preferential treatment toward evolve, questionable weights, etc) more than production values or a roster. so i'm not sure i get your logic.
scumbag moves are scumbag moves.

So if you don't watch One Championship and not a fan of the UFC what does that leave as far as MMA? Bellator? Or do you just hate everything about major MMA promotions at this point and don't watch at all and just stick around to make snarky comments about how everything sucks?...comparing to the ufc isn't an argument. i stopped watching one after they banned soccer kicks and got shady re: evolve. but i'm no fan of the ufc, either.
comparing a sheister to another sheister doesn't justify sheisting.

One Championship has entertaining cards and they are all free on YouTube or Bleacher Report Live. As a fan why would you want that to go away? Let him practice his hyperbole if we get free content.
Wait.
They said that ONE put the "concert" together, but in reality, had NOTHING to do with it? Fucking wow.

You guys are all entitled to your opinions. I just think it's odd for MMA fans to care that much about whether the CEO or President of a promotion is a nice guy or a blowhard. Or whether he treats certain people nicely, so much so that you refuse to watch fights from that organization in some kind of weird protest. Or you'll watch sometimes but be angry about it like these guys screwed you over personally. I watch nearly every major MMA promotion and just accept them for what they are, flaws and all. I think it's good for the sport and fighters that we have several promotions with slightly different formats, like the UFC the "Big Show"; Bellator also a pretty major organization featuring tournaments as well; PFL with the league format; Rizin for the JMMA weirdness and cross-promotions; Invicta FC for up & coming WMMA; LFA for a feeder league for up & coming fighters etc etc.
Everything and everyone is crooked if you have an axe to grind and want to work yourself up into a lather over whatever sleights or flaws you perceive there to be. There are quite a few people on this forum that have developed a board "character" whose primary attribute is irrationally hating a certain MMA CEO, company, fighter or media personality. UFC, Dana White, Scott Coker, PFL, Ali Abdel-Aziz, Joe Rogan, Paige Van Zant are all taken. The list goes on and on. You're the "I hate Chatri and One Championship" guy.no one's arguing otherwise.
it's a shame that one is so fucking crooked, which makes it a piece of shit and not good for the sport or really worth watching, imo.

Tbf I'd listen to Stemm over any of those other artists any day.
