All guys get the same exposure on the shows here in NZ and it is up too them too sell. Regardless of my management Aaron it still would not change their minds if they didnt want them. Imagine if I did what you said then all of a sudden I will get bagged for Managing all the fighters in my show. and trust me mate any man who wants to stick there nose near my arse is a legend.lol
Mark you are right in some ways but if a fighter wins the tournaments that take you too the next level then they have no choice but to take him but its a hard road there. Kaokalai is a prime example of that and I concur with Mike in saying he wasnt supposed to be there. The unfortunate fact is that the less skilled yet more marketable fighters get an easier road. 1 thing you should look for is that K-1 on most occassions match there fights with a win win to K-1. Either there hero knock someone out again or they create a new star.
This is was sells to K-1 Fighting Spirit, KO ability, In LeBanners / Abidis case both ways, Size, Looks, Physique, Gimick, History. You must remember that the rules of K-1 are beneficial to the audience not the fighter.
