A Vision For A Professional Battling League: Local Fighters, Group Owners, And Fans There is, and constantly has been, an issue on the planet of professional combating: Unlike almost any other sport, a single entity controls the players. In boxing, a single notorious promoter practically destroyed the sport (and arguably did) with the method he managed and managed fighters and matches. Now, in the growing sport of combined martial arts (MMA), the leading brand names control the pair up and, when it comes to the International Fight League, own the teams. In contrast, the leading sports franchises of our day-- the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL-- all prospered based upon regional groups, local owners, and local fans working together to produce something larger and greater than a single owner ever could. Group owners gave up a bit in order to create something genuinely special. It is time for a similar vision to come to fulfillment in the battling world. Bonecrunch Fighting is a brand-new league-based fighting organization based upon precisely this idea. In this league, regional owners construct groups with as lots of local fighters as possible, in order to gain the assistance of local fans. The league is structured like a franchise, and looks for entrepreneurs with monetary staying power to own and build successful groups. Results up until now consist of: - An inaugural event that offered out a 3600 seat arena in Sarasota Florida. - Top sponsors consisting of the US Marines and Budweiser. - Creation of the required legal documents to sell a franchise to competent and interested team owners. - Assembly of a leading leadership team with management and combating industry knowledge. - Development of design template marketing materials, task management tools, and contracts to successfully run occasions. - Agreements with 5 leading MMA fitness instructors and school owners (with 4 more in the works) who have actually put fighters into leading companies. These fitness instructors have a cadre of excellent local fighters ready to handle other groups-- and all set to act as "turn vital" teams when a team owner buy their location. - Interest from a number of business owners to purchase the rights to a group. The brand equity of the league will grow as fans support their regional groups towards the play-offs and inter-league title/all-star occasions. In addition to putting on league events in their geographies, group owners are complimentary to experiment with various ideas, consisting of expert and amateur battles, competitions, and various types of fighting formats (i.e., grappling, wrestling, stand up fight, boxing, and other formats that end up being popular). Since the league is looking to attain emergency, initial franchises are priced at only $20,000 (compared with most other franchises, sports or otherwise, and the discount rate is considerable). This advantageous pricing provides early adopters the opportunity to realize a considerable capital gain, due to the fact that later owners will pay a premium. At the very same time, Bonecrunch carefully screens potential owners making sure that they have the long-term vision and required capital for their group, and the league, to prosper. Contrast this concept with its nearest rival, the International Fight League (IFL). The IFL has raised over $15 million dollars to develop league-owned groups and bring in television offers. Its stock rate has had a roller coaster ride and currently trades at under $1 after reaching highs of $17 and the league has a hard time to accomplish and include expenses profitability. Bonecrunch is a grassroots effort that needs much less capital from a group of committed team owners, fitness instructors, and fighters in order to succeed. Using the franchise model, Bonecrunch can grow naturally and achieve critical mass with a comparably small investment. Time will inform if this model can succeed in the highly competitive, unpredictable, and regulated world of combating. It is time to bring this design to exactly what has actually been a centrally controlled sport and find out exactly what kind of difference it can make-- to fans, fighters, and the business owners who acquire a franchise and owned and operate a professional sports group. In contrast, the top sports franchises of our day-- the NFL, NBA, MLB, and NHL-- all succeeded based on local groups, regional owners, and regional fans working together to create something larger and greater than a single owner ever could. In this league, local owners develop teams with as many regional fighters as possible, in order to acquire the assistance of regional fans. The brand equity of the league will grow as fans support their local teams towards the play-offs and inter-league title/all-star occasions. In addition to putting on league occasions in their locations, group owners are totally free to experiment with various concepts, including professional and amateur battles, competitions, and different types of fighting formats (i.e., grappling, wrestling, stand up fight, boxing, and other formats that end up being popular). At the very same time, Bonecrunch thoroughly screens potential owners to make sure that they have the long-term vision and needed capital for their group, and the league, to be successful.
