Are there any additional costs like health insurance, retirement plant, etc to the employer?

Not if you categorize them as independent contractors

Nah. Some random can will make 12 alt accounts to call out mods if I do, lol.

I only resemble the first part of that statement to be clear. The alt accounts not my style.

How about you SA, have you watched? Your thing/not so much? Appalled by the CTE ramifications? Resigned to the fact we accepted that as a reality with MMA a long time ago?

No desire to watch really. I've seen some clips, but I was aware of these Power Slap competitions long before they hit TBS. Meh.

 

[Killhippies]

Lol, god imagine being a loser in power slap. Do these guys even get their hotel and plane tickets paid for? If they get knocked out, the hospital bills alone can put them in the red.

You get a chance to lose money and also get CTE, what an opportunity of a lifetime.

I don't get why Dana pays Rogan and Buffer to like do nothing important at all, even the ring girls they pay well, but they are not willing to pay like a decent money to combatants, when they went mainstream like long time ago.

 

[LFAHFN22]

Gotta keep his roster desperate enough for money to keep fighting.

 

[TIMELESS TRUTH]

All weak ass lame posts here so far...

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

People talk about the Slap League the same way people talked about MMA in the 90s and early 2000s.

MMA was human cockfighting as McCain described back in the day. It needed to change and it did

And this is just roshambo

You can watch a brutal sport like MMA but can't watch a little slapping? It's way safer than MMA

Power Slap - open handed slap

MMA - Punches, kicks, knees, elbows, slams, spinning backfists, spinning backkicks, flying knees, ground and pound,

the point of fighting is to hit and not get hit …martial arts… sweet science etc … that’s where the skill comes in …

power slap … you just stand there like some r3tarded Homer Simpson while some jackass tees off on you ….. pathetic …


I see why Dana likes it though, plenty of knuckle draggers will buy this product .. it’s so primal and straight forward…. Plus you don’t have to explain grappling or any other annoying skills … just pure straightforward dumbness

Not going to lie… I just watched the first episode and I was entertained.

Dana literally explains why he was interested in the first episode… “I saw it on YouTube and it had 350 million views.”

Exactly… still stupid tho …. Hurts MMA credibility but in the end .. it’s all about money

 

[Throttlehead]

I really hope nobody actually supports this sham of a sport.

Its not a sport, its a car crash.

Dana is such a scumbag for promoting this and trying to pay participants 2k/2k to get brain damage. If god, karma or anything like that exists he’s in for a very bad time.
