Rizin in financial trouble?

[under_t]

Jin Nihei, a huge sponsor of DEEP, claims that he has lent money to Rizin but they haven't returned yet.
Also he claims their payments to the referees were two months overdue.

At no point since Rizin's first announcement did I assume the promotion was financially viable.

 

[Pyreen]

MMA just doesnt work without organized crime

I just want to see matches with full PRIDE rules again, plus the first event was really promising...

 

[VIP1349]

The business model of throwing money at any name outside the UFC and tossing them all on one gigantic card didn't work?

That's never happened.

They need to bring in mark Coleman

 

[LiveFreeorDie]

They should start selling bedazzled t shirts and get out the MMA game

I am in shock here.
I was told Fedor was certain to pull in money for any org he fights in.
Was that not true?

This isn't DSE or FEG. RIZIN is perfectly fine. There is no credible or reputable source providing validated info on RIZIN's financial affairs. Long LIVE JMMA.. 2016 is the year of RIZIN's birth!

shocking

You just love to hate the BIG JMMA promotions. Ganryujima will fail horrible before RIZIN falls!

Maybe Deep is in financial trouble

Not paying people is as traditional as opening ceromines sadly.

He only fights for orgs that "respect" the fighters.

As long as the fighters name is Fedor.

Define credible, please.

2016 is the year of RIZIN's birth!

RIZIN was born last year.

Dont forget, Giant Silva, Bob Sapp, Kosaka, Takada, Frye, Goodridge and the Inoue bros.

If Rizin couod have its way, they would put on the exact same cards that they did in Pride, from start to finish.

Sapp and Kosaka already fought and won on RIZIN cards and Takada is also one of the matchmakers...

Define credible, please.


RIZIN was born last year.

No, it was conceived...erm

 

[kikikhan]

Well. Who gave them a chance?

Vadim was right.

But sherdog said Fedor is a huge draw that brings in millions of viewers!?
