Tall Poppy Syndrome - happens everywhere.

No of us are prefect but some of us like Dixon have the balls to put it on the line and take some huge risks and finally after more than five years of slog beginning to reaps some rewards.

I mean lets face it who in Australia has gotten kickboxing on national mainstream TV as a regular programme ? Who in Austrlaia has got Alexey Ignashov living in his back yard, Who in Australia has managed one K-1 Champ and one runner up ? And who in Australia has done it on the smell of an oily rag.

K-1 fighters in NZ now have a profile - Jason Suttie, Choppa, Jordon, Aaron, Rexy, Powerhouse etc are being recognised on the streets, fighters are now getting sponsorship worth thousands not hundreds, They guys last year appeared in ALL of the mainstream papers and several magazine bare the herald which was too busy watching third division rugby.

And most of all possibly the most tellng fact - talk to the Aussie fighters themselves who come here about the shows - they love it and can't wait to return - they get well paid, well treated, the fans love it and there are no BS politics...

All in not Dixon has done not a bad job - as for stealing idea, what a crock all of the best and most successful people beg steal and borrow ideas that work and improve on them.

Otherwise we'd still being running around sleeping in caves and sratching our balls... actually Scott I suspect you probabley are.
