again,why does he have to have fights to form an opinion on fights?

it's this simple.money makes it happen,but you put money into what the ppl want most.if full contact was still real popular the big promoters would be pushing it.
don't get me wrong,i'm even starting to like fc more.well i always have but it was lacking something.i was real impressed with the ama.fc fighters at the ikf tourney this year.i talked to mean mike labree for a lil while out there and we talked about the same thing.i think fc could do better if it were injected with a different attitude,different presentation.

the other thing about fc is that is was mishandled.they tried to develop superstars way too fast.the stars were bigger than the sport.the sport was being supported on a handful of fighters shoulders.when they moved on there was no one to pick it up.

and fc has to lose it's karate roots.if it wants to be bigger. i think mt will have to do the same thing with the wai kru to be big,but shouldn't be dropped for the sake of being big.

i had faith that k-1 was going to be the answer but i think they are going to mess up also.maybe the whole sport is just doomed. i don't know.
