We cant have ONE be filled with just ex/current stadium Thais lol. It's an international show so i don't mind a few very skilled, but less than cream of the crop elite foreigners.

ONE is meant to be a world wide business. There are 7.7 billion people in the world and 64 million in thailand. They are trying to appeal to the largest audience possible. Having their promotion completly dominated by thais won't achieve that. Its bad for their viewing audience, appeal to sponsors, ticket prices and sales. Also if they ever wanted to do a pay per view it would make it very hard to sell.

Of course it just that the elite foreigner at that weigh are very few compared to Thais .
We don't need old man JWP to come over and get demolished within 2 rounds like an amateur .

Lol so Buakaw ( to be ) , Yodsanklai , Rodtang and Superbon in ONE FC is not good then .
It's always the same story : Unknown Thai ( A ) fight well .
No one care .
He ( A ) beat an overhyped farang or is on a cans demolition tours .
Everyone loves him and say he is special and other kind of garbage .
New Unknown Thai ( B ) who dominate his other Thai fighters and has a resume 5-6 times greater arrive .
Everyone down give a shit about him and say he fight boring or down have the style to be good in and international promotion ( AKA 75 % Can crushing ) .
Everyone say Thai ( A ) will beat Thai ( B ) because Thai ( A ) is exciting or western or advanced or any other B.S.
When Thai ( B ) demolish some Farang cans and elites and is getting more attention everyone praise him but still doesn't give him the same props as Thai ( A ) .

I say let Kiewpayak , Kaona and other stadium Thai come to ONE FC , let the wreck all the so called elite non-Thai there ( shouldn't take much times to do that ) and then when everyone see how most Farang ( below 70 Kg ) are overrated or simply too weak to fight Thai fights after fights then yeah the Thai who everyone thought can ten superstars are gonna be because when someone is Superior he can be boring and has no personality he would still attract people to watch him school ( or kick , or knee int oblivion ) the more marketable Farang .
No one likes Floyd or Ward and yet they are famous and make tons of cash . Why ? Because they are the best .
And to have MT as a sport but deprive the best fighter to fight in the org is very sad .
What if Yodlekphet crush Alaverdi legs and sleep him in 2 rounds ? Would he be a stars ?
What if Thanonchai KO Haggetrhy ? Would you be like "Stadium Thai wouldn't fight in ONE FC the parent marketable" .
How marketable was Buakaw before K-1 , Superbon before Kunlun , Sittichai before fighting farang , Rodatng before the Tenshin fight , Saemapetch before the Charlie Peter's fight , Petchdam/Nong-O/Petchmorakot before ONE FC ? They were unknown and everyone didn't give them any thought .
But after they showed continuation of pure excellence ( most of the time being better champion and fighter than the best non-Thai by a miles ) in the company people give them credit but also say that they were unique and that other Thai like them wouldn't find the same success as them .
This is dumb .
The Muay Thai industries has produced the best stand up fighter in the world for 80 years straight not still people are skeptic if they are somehow ready for western org ( all of whom got owned by Thai fighter at one point ) .
Next thing would be like "Can Iphone produce some of the best mobile phone or will they fail against Samsung ?" .
when something work for 80 years people should stop doubting it , or else it make them ignorant by choice .

You should start your own promotion and hire all these people then.

There is a reason Dana white is happy to have zhang weilli as a ufc champion. He knows it will help push the UFC in china. Anytime they do a fight card in asia there is a lot of asian fighters on it. From a business point of view it is best to have a mix of nationalities on the ONE roster.

Are you even a fans of the sport ? You down wanna see the best Muay Thai fight in the best striking promotion in the world ?
Why because they don't have a fake personality down talk trash and down have bullshit haircut and a pretty looking face ?
If you wanna pretty face then male modelling is your thing .
You have down believe that the best MT fighter can be stars in the best MT organization because... They are not marketable ?
Lol Haggethy isn't marketable at all , he is in a division with Petchdam , Rodtang , Superlek , Mongkholpetch and Panpayak .
How long before he get demolished by Superlek and Panpayak ( Petchdam and Mongkholpecth are good fights ) ? Unless Chatri protect him ( not gonna do that ) he is gonna get beat up fighting the best at 61 KG and guess what Superlek and Panpayak are gonna be superstar that will replace him and everyone are gonna like these two Thai with no personality because marketing an inferior fighter never work ( unless the company protect him ) and one day when he fight the best and get outclassed people should be like "Oh shot that robotic looking Thai is better than Haggerthy , well have to look more about that Thai" .
Haggethy claim to fame was that he beat an old , overweight Sam-A in a war of attrition while being the way younger , way bigger , way longer and way taller fighter .
Incredible that you have an interest in the sport for several years and yet when finally those unknowns Thai who are way greater in term of resume and skills can finally fight at the world stage you say "Nope , too robotic need drama queen , bullshit trash talk and overrated/inconsistent non-Thai" .
Please watch modelling .
I couldn't give a shit about how ugly Kiewpayak look but I know he would still own 99% of foreigner under MT rules and with some training he would own them in KB too .
You remind me of a girl who said she doesn't watch Larry Holmes because she say the guy is boring and his face is like a fish or something .
I said "then GTFO go watch some tennis player or something" , it's fighting no one care about being pretty looking .
Just beat everyone up and you'll become a star .

Too long to read. I watch Muay Thai from Rajadamnern mostly, sometimes ONE. It's good to be realistic about how business works also, regardless of how much one loves the sport.

Plus she has a very strong star appeal. From the first time i saw her, i knew she was marketable. Lookboonmee could perhaps be more marketable if they had a lower weight class, but at the weight class she is currently at, besides being technical, i don't think she is powerful enough to make a strong impression on casual fans.

Why care about Radjadamen fighters if you don't like them going into the world stage .
The fact that you are against the best MT fighter ( who are also some of the best striker ) going into the biggest striking on the world stage just prove that you down really appreciate the best fighter you watch .
I swear that right now if a guy say that Kiewpayak that you will be in ONE FC fighting the best in the worlds at your weigh , can you beat them and would you want that for 3 time the pay you get for a stadium fight ? "
He would say "Give me the contract right now , i'll crush anyone at my weighclass" .

I am not against. I can distinguish my personal preferences from a business perspective. I would love to see Kiewpayak, Kumandoi, Saoto, Pet U Thong and Kongthoranee in ONE personally. But i realize it's not probably the smartest move from ONE to just make ONE another copy of Rajadamnern or Thai Fight. If you want to have a serious conversation, try to gain a broader perspective and stop insulting people when they disagree with you.

Thai fight is a joke they aren't even in the same league as ONE FC .
Also the best should fight the best , I don't care about Chatri interest or ONE FC and neither should you .
As fight fans we should support the best fighter to fight in the best org with the best purse and best option , we shouldn't be thinking "is Chatri gonna get his fair share of money ?" .
That is his problem .
What separate Petchdam , Nong-O , Rodtang , Sam-A and Petchmorakot form other elite Thai ? Why you have no problem with them in the company but you don't want another top tier Thai to come over and fight ?
Also you can't be serious if you think signing JWP is a smart choice , the guy is gonna get waste really quick ( unless they make him fight cans ) .
Signing Kiewpayak and building him up is 6 times the better choice .

I'm a fan of the sport in general and also interested in the business aspect, not just the fighters. It's a muay thai and kickboxing forum not a Kiewpayak fan club. If you're a fanboy, that's fine to me.

 

[Kanka]

Btw, many on this forum have been saying for a long time they want more top fighters against each other in ONE. Not just top fighters vs some random western fighters

Then yeah that's what I want , I don't wanna see Kiewpayak beating a can I just point out that people love these kind of things because that's just the way it is .

I don't even like Kiewpayak style that much , it doesn't matter .
He should be in ONE FC , he got the resume , skills and the requirement .
If Rocky Oegen , washed up Andy Wonson and old man Sam-A are in ONE FC then why isn't Kiewpayak ?
Andy is garbage right now and yet they still sign him up to get stomped , now they are doing the same thing with JWP .
You think it's great ?

I'm sure everybody here would like to see Kiewpayak in ONE

 

[Shadess]

Another ranting and raving Broadcast -type, ugh.

 

[Mickf]

I and most of the people here would like to see the top 67kg and 70kg thai muay thai fighters fight each other. But that is very rare the last 10 years or so. Just look at all the top thai fighters wasting their time in Thai fight. I can think of 50 to 100 fights i would like to see between thai fighters that aren't gonna happen. It seems once u go over a certain weight u don't foght other thai's anymore these days.
