maddromeo Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Breaking news: Strikeforce signs Fedor Emelianenko to multi-fight deal, M-1 to co-promote | MMAjunkie.com Comfirmed! Its already in the Strikeforce homepage! M1/Strikeforce co-promotion! Well Strikeforce have co promoted before with EliteXC right!? Hope everything works out well! :thumbsupsmiley: Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Strikeforce just signed their death sentence. They will survive as long as they dont feature Fedor, but when they do, im pretty sure they will lose tons of money. The good thing about Strikeforce is that they are not dependent on Fedor to sell PPV. They have stars in their roster. However, in HW, i do not think so. Hmmm.. let's see, Fedor probably signed a 3 fight deal, he still has 4 fights left with the Russian bastards M1, with the rate Fedor has been fighting - 1 fight in 9-10 months, he will probably be in his late 30's when his fullfills that contract. Then the Fedor fans can use the arguement that his past his prime. Such a shame.. and he mentioned he wants to compete at the highest level.. yeah right.. :thumbsdownsmiley: Quote Link to comment
dragonei Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 ^^^ Many Indeed agree that this is a bad business move for Fedor. Yung gusto kasi mangyari ng M-1 is ridiculous. They want to co-promote all of fedors UFC fights and split the revenue 50-50. Of course Dana white is gonna say "go f#&k yourselves". Lets just hope malugi strikeforce gaya ng affliction at IFL Quote Link to comment

Does anybody understand what co promotion means!? they dont just split the revenue but they split the expenses as well! I dont think Strikeforce will make the same mistake the IFL, EliteXC & Affliction did. As we all know Strikeforce is the only North American MMA Org. that makes profit besides the UFC. And M-1 is developing European, Russian and Asian fighters in their part. They entered a co-promotion 3 fight deal with M-1 when Fedor fights in the Strikeforce Cage! Man I'm excited to see Fedor in the Cage! And Gegard Mousasi as well! Why not the UFC sign Aleksander Emelianenko first! He left Red Devil and M-1! Let Brock fight Aleks! And if Brock pummels the younger Emelianenko, Big Brother comes in for revenge! Hehehe... :thumbsupsmiley: I say let Fedor beat all the HW in Strikeforce and Brock Lesnar clear out the UFC HW division! Then when Fedors 3 fight deal is up with M1/Strikeforce! He will be in the UFC fighting Brock! when both cemented their statuses in a years time! Di ba mas ok? The US/casual fans will have more time to get to know who Fedor is with the CBS/Showtime exposure and Brock can gain more experience in the UFC! So when these two fight! It will be a Mega-Fight! Not just a Mega "Bucks" fight! And when they meet in the Cage We can really say that the 2 best HW's in the world will fight! :hypocritesmiley: Quote Link to comment
JustSmile=) Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) ^^Dude I dont wanna reply to another persons post but in this case I have to.. Man! Does anybody understand what co promotion means!? they dont just split the revenue but they split the expenses as well!yeah they will split the expenses.. but the most important thing for these Russian bastards is that they will split earnings, pay per view buys, gate attendance pay, and all others. plus SF will pay Fedor a ridiculous amount of money.. just do the math, either way its negative for SF.. oh and dont forget that SF has a TV deal which they made before Fedor, im pretty sure that the Russians will not split that.. To quote Dana:"Fedor is a f---ing joke," UFC President Dana White responded Monday after learning that Emelianenko had signed with Strikeforce. “He turns down a huge deal and the opportunity to face the best in the world to fight nobodies for no money!" "I feel sorry for the real fight fans. I wanted to make the deal, but it takes two and it is very obvious Fedor doesn't want to fight the best, and doesn't give a sh-t about the fans!" But to be fair with Fedor, I think he is being controlled by these Russian bastards.. Edited August 4, 2009 by G_sKiLLz Quote Link to comment
yubiakira Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 if UFC really wants Fedor then give in to their demands & give what people wants.... Brock vs Fedor for the undisputed heavyweight championship. Quote Link to comment

To quote Dana: But to be fair with Fedor, I think he is being controlled by these Russian bastards.. I couldnt have said it better. Talo talaga ang buong UFC pag pumayag sila sa gusto ng management team ni Fedor. Kahit pa hatiin nila puhunan, the point is, paghahatian pa din nila yung kita. Unless M-1 can guarantee that they can double the current earnings of UFC by its own, then I think they are not in a position to demand such ridiculous condition. Ang laki laki na nga ng inaalok na bayad kay Fedor eh. Yeah the russian management team are really gready on this Quote Link to comment

dragonei Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 ^^^ But if they do that theyd go bankrupt too, at masyado silang malulugi sa gusto mangyari ng M1. Its fedors management team who is out of line on this one. Aside kasi from the 30 mil contranct gusto pa nila ng co-promotion sa lahat ng laban ni fedor. Mababawasan nga ng gastos sa puhunan ang UFC, pero mababwasan din sila kita sa huli, unless M1 can guarantee that Fedor can double what UFC is earning now. Quote Link to comment
infekted Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 This makes me sad. Fedor is my favorite fighter, but even I'm fed up. He can cement his legacy by decimating the HW division in the UFC. The whole thing with Fedor is bullshit. I really thought the deal would go down this time. I was so excited at the beginning of this week when the first rumors came out about him signing with the UFC. Quote Link to comment
_eRon_ Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 UFC 101 na!!!..Future matches that are highly unlikely to happen: Fedor vs Brock & GSP vs Spider..pag nagawa ng UFC na mangyari tong mga laban na to, astig!hehehehe Quote Link to comment

Oh dont get me wrong I really think Fedor is a bad ass. He will ass rape brock lesnar like a bitch if the two of them ever meet in the octagon. But the russians were really a way in over their heads, with what they were demanding. And I really feel sorry that this deal did not get done. the roster of HW fighters in strike force are weak. Fedor is really not going to get the competition he needs there. Quote Link to comment

JustSmile=) Posted August 5, 2009 Share Posted August 5, 2009 Just read that Fedor has a 3 fight - 1 year deal with Strikeforce.. yeah right, you wish SF.. hehe.. SF will be lucky if he fight one time with that organization in 1 year.. Anyway, im done with Fedor.. he can fight any tomato can he like so he can fight at the "highest level"..
