Is it true that fox sports are looking for a new promoter since Tarik has gone pay per view???

The pitbull promotions would be ideal as they feature fair match ups and usually 14 or more fights.

Hey Kickboxing Fan
Thanks for the comments about my promotions I am glad that someone thinks that they are of a standard good enough for Foxsport. I do get quite alot of comments from spectators at my promotions about why these shows are on fox. I really don't know why. They tell me that most of what you see on fox is crap. I wouldn't really know as I don't get time to watch I am normally in the gym training fighters or at Kickboxing Promotions with my them or working as a Ring Official of some sort. But once again thanks for the comments. Maybe you should speak to them.

Ok Pitbull I will write to Fox and suggest it. At least they should come to the show and see for themselves. Thanks for the card it looks like an awesome night. I am sure that although some fights may change, the fans appreciate getting a taste of what is to come. Other promoters should take note and list their whole card as soon as possible. It gives the supoport fighters some exposure as well as promoting the main events. I am sure that there are some names on the undercard that will be future champions.

Hey I love the new style poster. Some good looking blokes up there but where are the chicks???????

Are all the guys on the poster actually fighting??? Sorry to ask but I have paid good money to see fights that never happened too often.

I am looking forward to this post as last time I laughed a lot at the good hearted comments that were posted, I hope this one proves as popular. Hey dont go to Fox Pitbull. Keep your shows a secret from the masses as it was crowded enough at the last show and the atmosphere is great. We dont need some of the people that attend some events coming to your shows.

Hi Stirer,
Yes at this point in time everyone on the poster is fighting.I know what you mean about paying good money to see fights and then they don't actually happen. I think that sometime this can't be helped due to the nature of the sport. But I also know that there are promoters out there that just put people's names or pictures on posters just to sell tickets. This sort of thing sux and gives all promoters a bad name with the paying public.

I am not too concerned about get my show put on fox. I just want to keep puting on good shows and keeping my customers and the fighters fighting on the promotion happy. Earlier this year about the end of January I had a phone call from a middle aged woman asking me about my next promotion. She said that last year her husband had attended my last promotion and had such a good time that he got her to ring me up and ask for the dates of my promotions this year. He wants to keep these particular weekends free because he had such a good time at the last one. Comments from people like this from people who are not really involved in the sport are sometimes the best rewards of all.

all the best & thanks for the comments

Hi Dowgy,
How's it going mate. Yeah Nelson is going to fight at Super Crusierweight this time. He still can make 83kgs but I couldn't find anyone to fight him at that weight. So he thought the NSW Super Crusier weight title might be the go. If he wins this one he will have won three state titles over three different weights in a 12 month period. Not to bad for some who use to be a Super Heavyweight fighter. Hope you can make this promotion it is shaping up to be a good one. I have been working since Mid January an pretty much have everything set. The problem is that I have all these trainers ringing me to put their fighters on and I have enough fights scheduled as it is.
all the best

What do you think about the Bullet and Kartu fight???????

Bullet can take a big shot as his last fight showed and Kartu is not that comfortable against someone with a high kick rate......interesting

Hi Stirer
You must have been at the last show.What did you think of the promotion. There was a shit load of people there.
Nelson's preformance was excellent. I know he didn't win but after watching the video tape I seen him stuff his leg up inthe second round. He either hit Andrew's elbow or something. Thats why he couldn't check with left leg. Not because that leg was damaged. It was because everytime he tried to lift his left leg to check the right one would almost collapse from the injury he suffered in the 2nd round.
Anyway I hope to see you at this one, I am already getting phone calls about the show and I have done no Advertising yet, could be another big one. Lets hope so.

Hi Vince
I think you talked with another one of my boys not too long ago. Something about fighting here in Australia on one of my shows. Lets see what happens later this year and I will see if I can do for you.
Nelson only likes fighting kickboxing at this stage, if he wants to compete with knees or full thai rules that is up to him. So I don't think the New Zealand tournament would suit him. Not to mention I have another promotion in late July and I won't him to fight on that. Maybe another rematch with Andrew Banham. but I have to check with his trainer Ben.

I have had full thai rule & Oriential Rules approved by the department of sport for amateurs about 12 months ago. The thing is that they have to wear the protective equipment like in the I.M.F.A. world titles held in Thailand. Yeah I know that it sux but at least it's a start. We could not do anything before.
I had to threaten the Department with legal action as well. I got a barister who had just finished a sports law course to send them a letter on my behalf and that sorted them out pretty quick smart. The things we do for the love of the sport.

Good on ya Bullet. I have never thought of wearing my belts with my jeans but now I know you do I suppose its acceptable. Hey dowgy you know bullet will only fight for titles these days cause he was sick of having to get someone else to carry his trophies. They were always taller than him and far too heavy, he even has to wrap the belts around himself twice so they fit on - see what you get when you give it to me bullet!!! Oh yeah baby, Ive got heaps more of em so bring it on

I disagree Stirrer fights and titles do mean something. Good on you if you are a WKBF title holder, you had to do the work and get in the ring. Each fight is a challenge in itself with your first fight usually being the hardest. I respect everyone who gets in the ring regardless of the sanctioning body. In the past some organisation have been happy to have aus titles with people with under 5 fights on their record and coming from adjoining suburbs. When you get the title only you know what that really means, if can live with yourself and truly call yourself a champion good on you.

I hope Joe is a hard man, more the recognition for me when I beat him.

Hi Bulldog

Taking the govt. to court sounds interesting, I heard the Australian health minister is pushing for an eventual ban on boxing. How difficult is the legal side of things? And what if you have an international opponent, can they fight for Thai rules (elbows)?
pitbull
Posted: 2002-03-21 23:58:56
Hi Jones
I am not too sure of legalities with full Muay Thai in the State of New South Wales as far as the Professional side goes. I got it set up for the amateur side of things for the WKA & the Thai Boxing Association of Australia in NSW. I will start trying for the pro side of things later this year, when I get some time. But dealing with the Authority is like banging your head against a wall. I think if you have two international fighters fighting in this state there is a loop hole somewhere in the legistation. It really sux because it is the only state in Australia where this type of thing happens. Even the Professional fighters have to wear shin pads here.
I think the minister should look at sports like Rugby League & Aussie Rules before he starts trying to ban combative sports in this country. First of all if you look at the statistics on serious injury and deaths you will find that these sports have more problem that combative sports. The only difference is Multi-millon dollar sponsorship deals that the ball sports have in this country.

Hi Pitbull, sorry I called you Bulldog!

While I agree about Rugby and other sports, the boxing industry always seems to go on the defensive whenever anybody dies or is seriously hurt, rather than expressing sympathy, rather than talking about looking at how things could be improved they seem to be saying it's not our fault and other sports are worse. Weight loss through dehydration has been shown to be dangerous but what are the sanctioning bodies doing about it? What level of self-regulation is there in Australia?

For example, in Thailand Muay Thai is being promoted as something that can keep kids off drugs.

A lot of people in the sport seem to enjoy it's bloodsport image, probably the crowds most of all, who only seem to be happy if someone gets KOed. The calls for bans are probably linked more to the image of the sport than its dangers. Compare Ali and Tyson, Ali could call the rounds when the fight would finish and showed himself to be a highly principled man of tremendous character. While Tyson may not be as bad as the media shows him, he's still a convicted rapists who bites. Ali 'floated like a butterfly' lifting the sport up with him, Tyson depends on a KO (what the spectators want) and seems to be in moare brawls outside the ring.

I'm curious to hear your opinions a a promoter on this. Is it a dilemma for you when trying to attract crowds? Do you think that more could be done to show why it's called martial arts, such as emphasizing the fitness/training/skill levels? Do the crowds want shows that resemble a Van Damme movie? How much do fans understand the sport when they seriously talk about Mundine fighting Fenech, who's retired and much lighter?

Please don't take any of this as criticism

Posted: 2002-03-22 15:15:41
Jones, can I comment on the first paragraph of your post. More people die rockfishing in Australia than any other sport. There are more serious injuries of the footy feilds each weekend than there are in kickboxing each year although obviously the footy codes have a much higher involvement rate.

I think the one of the reasons the boxing/kickboxing officials get so upset at the critics is because so much is done to protect the fighters, especially at the amatuer level. Doctors must be present, the fighters are check before and after a bout and even though the judges may be off from time to time the referees take close care of the fighters and are often accused by the crowd of stopping fights early. If you are stopped by the ref it is automatic 30 day out. In footy you can go back on as soon as you come to.

Kickboxing is safer than boxing because of the nture of the sport. You have more target areas to attack, its not just head shots. Anyone who has done both will tell you that boxing hurts your head more than K-boxing. More to come



Birdman

Having 24 hr before the event wiegh ins helps reduce the injuries and effects of dehydration in kickboxing. Also the shorter rounds - 2mins instead of 3mins allows the fighter more time to hydrate. Footy players playing in 35 degree heat last weekend shows that some sports have a long way to go when it comes to protecting their participants. Even jockeys have to ride nearly all daty after fasting and usually losing wieght (water) in the sauna.

Posted: 2002-03-22 23:51:58
Again a lot of comparisons with other sports regarding safety, driving is far more dangerous than flying but still people fear the latter. It’s all about perceptions and image, that was my point in comparing Tyson and Ali. Ali is the world’s most recognized man, Sports Illustrated’s man of the century, voted man of the century in England, not just because of his amazing ability (and mouth) but because of his strength of character. I would be interested to hear any views on the image of boxing/Muay Thai and what sanctioning bodies are doing about it in regards to some of the points I mentioned earlier.

Posted: 2002-03-23 20:16:30
Jones, you cant turn a cow into a horse. Kickboxing is what it is. Trying to promote fights on the basis of spectacular kicks or dazzling combat is a touvh misleading. It is a tough contact sport. It is unfair to compare the charisma of Ali with anything in kickboxing or other sports. He was a freakish athelete and a incredible person. There are not many of those types of people in the world.

I believe the issue in kickboxing is more to do with sham promoters producing ordinary shows and poor trainers either pulling out fighters or having them unprepared for bouts. Kickboxing does not have the coverage that boxing has and therefore it is difficult to expose colourful characters. Withjout mainstraem coverage the sport will not grow. We cover world class athletes in nearly every sport known to man but aussie world champ kickboxers cant rate a mention. Its the same with Mundine. He gets quality coverage over much more qualified and deserving boxers.

Hi Jones
Don't worry I didn't take offence to the mis-confusion with the bulldog thing.
I like what you are saying in your thread mate.
Promoters who arrange mis-matches are doing the wrong thing. First of all it is unsafe. That is how are sport gets a bad name. Secondly I know there are promoters out there that do this so fighters,(some times fighters they train or other fighters who will line their pockets with dollars from ticket sales)can obtain an unbeaten record. What is the point of having an unbeaten record but everyone you have beaten has been a mug. What will happen to this type of fighter when they fight a class act. With the fighters I train I match them accordingly to the abilty but not just against fighters I know they are going to beat. Beating mugs will do nothing for them in the long run. When I match Title fights against my fighters I get the best fighters my budget will allow me to get. Other wise you just have paper champions.
I have also noticed in all the years I have spent in this sport as a Fighter,Trainer,Promoter & Ring Official that the majority of paying customers pay good money to see good fights not mismatches.

What is all the fuss with these pitbull shows. I have never been to one. But after reading all the threads about his shows I think I better get along to one.
Last year one of the posts about his show had more hits than the K1.
They have to be better than most of the ones I have been to so far.I am sick of paying big bucks to see fighters I have read about in the mags I read because they are on the fight poster and when you get there on the night they don't fight. If his shows are so good why are they on foxsport. It has to be better than some of the stuff they are putting on at the moment.

jason get along and see the show. The last one went for over four hours. It started ON time and there were no fillers like demos or people doing pad rounds. The breaks between fights were just long enough to get each fighter to the ring as Paul hires two doctors so one can be ringside and the other check on the fighters who just fought.

Fighters pulling out in fairly common and at times unavoidable. What upsets me is when people are advertised when the promoters KNOWS they wont be fighting.

There does not have to be a promoters war, there are plenty of suporters to go to each show but poor shows do have a negative impact on the sport.

as for awesome, u have to pay to see him now, the government have declared him as a protected hostorical site, more like an 8th wonder of the world. his stomach is a helicopter landing pad, and u can tour the great mountanous scenery for a good fee.

if there is anything else that compares in value to the pitbull promotions, it is this wonderful opportunity to see the wonderful scenery of awesome - so big that he has to buy two tickets to go to the next show.

It's me again, after stirrers comment I just couldn't bear to be called the Buster Douglas of seriuos comments.

As for best looking promoters, this competions looking a bit dodgy, being a seriuos issue I feel there's a lack of transparency in the whole selection process, only promoters from NSW? Will they then be considered world champs? What about promoters with the best nickname? What about Don Kings hairstyle, doesn't that raise issues?

Seriuosly, though I was surprised by peoples comments re: the whole image thing. While KOs can be exciting, the best fighters seem to those who win on points and show fitness, ringcraft, technique etc. Look at JWP; won on points against a Thai in the US, 5 rnds tnon-stop, sounds like an exciting fight. Muay Thai has a heap of history and culture behind it, and boxing/kb/MT require a level of training probaly more than any other sport. Any of these Hollywood actors who have to undergo training to play a boxer in a movie will always say they're amazed at how complex and physically demanding it is. But people seem to prefer the whole tough guy thing, just my opinion.

Pitbull I cant blame a noice fighter from chasing a wkbf title or even an experienced fighter. But what will it mean to them. I cant understand Frank dropping out of what looked like a great fight with a reputable promoter to chase one of these titles.

The amount of sanctioning bodies weakens the legitimacy of the sport but at least each body should be true to itself. Look at ISKA in recent years their world title holders were against fighters from the US and Finland and I think France. Not Merrylands v Smithfield or New Zealand. I amnot knocinking NZ fighters, they are some of the best, but too often they are used because of their closeness. I beleive Frank deserves a shot at a world title but let him get a decent one. He would do us proud.

I think the WKBF made the mistake of thinking that all people where interested in were titles and therefore every show had a 'world' title. I dont doubt the abilities of any of their title holders but just the standard of opposition. ome of their stupid claims like Anthony Mundine will draw the raffle...a claim we heard at several shows but he never fronted. They should be more like other promoters and just have quality match ups to biuld their credibility.

They also seem to attract a different crowd to the well behaved crowds that attend other shows.

I think that the WKBF is just a mistake. The sport is not big enough in this country for another sanctioning body particularly a bogus one. I have seen fighters with one or two fights fighting for national titles. And while my arse points to the ground I will never provide them with a fighter.

Nickosis,

Paul has one of the most reputable fighting gyms in AUS, and himself had an outstanding career as a professional fighter. The fact that you do not know this is a reflection on your knowledge of the sport.

It is a government requirement that amateur fighters in NSW wear shin pads. So any sanctioning body, be it WKA, ISKA or WKBF fight held in NSW will see the fighters (amateur) wearing shin pads.

The boys are having fun. If you don't like the thread, don't look at it. Simple.

Hi Grumpy, long to no hear. Thanks for the back up. Poor Nickosis he writes the kind of dribble that is common on other web pages and is normally absent on ax.
This thread has and always will be an opportunity for some fighters and fans to have FUN the posts are usually in jest and privide some mild enertainment for some people.

Ill informed comments say more about the people speaking them than they do about those who are being spoken about.

As for the quality of WKBF shows, check the crowd numbers. Having great fighters is not sole way to have a great show.

Hey nickosis
I see you are up to the same bullshit again, bagging people for just having fun, you must be from Melbourne. Lose the attitude son, life is too short to walk round with your head up your arse all the time. Like I said once before if you don't like this thread don't read it.
Some of my fighters fight with knees and full Thai rules. It just that we are asked too much that's all. My boys don't just fight WKA they also fight ISKA & WMC and have also fought IKF in Malaysia. We only support real sanctioning bodies, not bodies that are the figment of someone's imaganation. Or bodies that have two fighters that live two or three suburbs away fighting for world title that only exists in Australia. And as far as foxtell, well I am not too concerned with paying them thousands of dollars just to have my show televised. Whats the point. I just want to keep putting on good shows with evenly matched fights.
I can not help what the government in this state makes us do. What would you prefer me to do. Just break the law and stuff the whole thing up for all the promoters in this state.
Grumpy thanks for the kind words but really pricks like that diease nickosis are a dime a dozen. Not happy unless they are putting shit on someone. I am just one trainer in a country full of great trainers trying to the best with what I have without breaking any of the rules for my fighters and the audience that attend my shows.

I have never been too a Pitbull show but I have been to a few WKBF shows and I tell you something. Most of the time the fighters that appear on the posters never end up fighting, there is at least a 15 minute gap between each fight and there always seems to be trouble with fights breaking out in the crowd that are watching. These are things that don't happen at a Pitbull show, well that is what I have been told and what I have read as well. That is why I will be going to his next show.

Well has this thread turned ugly..instead of the insults lets get some challenge in the ring WKA Vs WKBF fighters this should sort the men from the boys the sanctioning bodies from the rest,I have always tried to work in with everybody in NSW and if fighters choose to be with whoever well thats is all in fine but when you guys start to throw insults and accusations
about our body well that is another story...
If WKA Paul Grima fighters want to be Australia champions until the day they die will let it be,but when you get guys like Frank Zammit who has had enough fights as a amatuer to fight for World Title give the guy some respect he does not matter if it is a NZ or American or France or Dutch or Thai so long as the guy is originally from another country,that qualifys a World Title,New Zealanders are classed as the best in the world in the middleweight and Superheavyweight so I do not know why you guys think they are not good fighters...
Why don!t the Europe promoters get fighters from Australia & NZ because of the cost factor and that is the same reason Austraila & NZ do not get to many overeseas fighters from Europe...
I have taken fighters to Greece to fight for intercontinetal & World Titles and they have beaten fighters over there for WKBF titles if you think that a sanctioning body is about the quantity and not the quality then you guys need to reaccess about how the sport works...
WKBF have legitmate fighters in our body we are moving forward we have
K1 Grandprix champion we have the best Superheavyweight fighters and
supermiddleweight fighters in Australia and soon to be middleweight, welterweight.
I would love to see the best WKA fighters fight the best WKBF fighters
especially from Paul Grima!s gym they seem to think they are the best....
Our fighters will fight any fighter here in NSW or in Australia...
and that is what it is all about not about who is the best body but about a fighter holding as many sanctioning belts around his waist which proves he is the best....e.g. Kostya Tzyu unified boxing titles...
We have brought fighters from all over the world to fight WKBF Amatuer Titles..Please do not say we have not done anything and our fighters are nobodies do your homework you critics you will be suprised at who our champions are and going to be.....
Paul I have respected you as a fighter as a amatuer and professional I wish you the best as a trainer and promoter...I am looking forward to seeing a K1 Grandprix Champion and World Champions come from your stable in the future,if you think WKBF are shit lets put your best fighters with our best fighters then that should sort out who is who in NSW.....
Bullet what weight are you???????
Happy Easter Paul & fighters hope you guys have a good one goodluck for your show...

I have never once bagged a WKBF fighter, nor have I ever said anything bad about fighters from New Zealand. Some of the best fighters in the World come from there. So why would you write what you have Lucy. Anyone that steps into the ring is a winner as far as I am concerned. This thread is not a challenge to anyone or any organisation just people expressing their views. It only starts to get ugly when people come on to this thread and start to abuse us for having fun and trying to promote my next promotion. If you don't like it don't read it, simple. I never get on some else thread and start putting shit on them even if I don't like what they are saying. I just don't read it anymore.
Nor do I think that I am the best trainer. I am just one guy in a land full of great trainers. But like everyone else I have the right to put my fighters on promotions sanctioned by who I choose. That is creditable organisation that exist all over the world not just in Australia. My fighter don't just fight on WKA shows either they have fought on ISKA,WMC, & IKF in Malaysia.
Something I might add it is not just about winning. I have boys in my gym that I know are never going to be World Champs but they want to fight. What am I suppose to do with people like this. Not let them fight because they might not win or because they might embrass me and my gyms reputation. I don't really care about win / loss ratios as long as my fighters enjoy what they are doing, are having fun, don't get hurt and improve with every bout I am happy.

Please guys lets not turn this intoa nasty thread. As far as I am concerned there are no fighters who purely fight for one sanctioning body is there??? Most fighters go where they can get matched even into boxing sometimes. I have fought ISKA, WMC and WKA. I have the utmost respect for Frank and all the other WKBF title holders my post asked why he couldnt get a world title that is recognised outside Australia. To my knowledge the WKBF hadnt fought outside Aus. Now I stand corrected. I still think it has along way to go to be in the same standard as the WKA or ISKA. However I would be the first to acknowledge that there are so many other sanctioning bodies around the world that have a similiar shallow pool of fighters that has more to do with the cost factors than anything else. Having fought a kiwi and seen many of them fight I have a great deal of respect for them I just get tired of seeing us Aussies always competing with them.

Full credit to JNI who got a Finland fighter to fight Eddie and Rob Murdock got a Frenchy, Paul even had an Italian fight Josh some years ago.

Its all about looking after the crowd with good match ups and smooth shows, looking after the fighters and having a good time. If every one can do that then it would be great. As a fighter I dont care what sanctioning body or title I fight for. Some titles mean more to me regardless of the sanctioning body.

There are many gyms that have more champoins and better win/loss ratios but at Pitbulls its about enjoying the sport. Please dont use the fighters to make cheap political statements. This kind of stuff is whats ruining the sport because the public dont understand the sanctioning body stuff they just want good fights and colourful characters to support.

If you want particular fighters to fight each other then offer the challenge dont just say WKBF V WKA( pitbull) As we all know WBKF World champs the Mckinnon bros have WKA titles and ISKA titles ( as well as others ) who would they fight for???? Greg Foley has WBBF and WKA titles. The promoters and the sanctioning bodies do not own the fighters. Even though there has been rumours about amatuers getting paid up to $1500 to fight.

In the end the public through patronage will decided which promoter or sanctioning body they support. Unfortunately we may lose may spectators and sponsors in the process as they are turned off by poor promotions and pie in the sky promises.

I am not trying to be smart but after reading the last few comments I am wondering why International Kickboxer Magazine doesn't print the WKBF Australian Ratings ratings. Yet it does print the WKA,WMC,& ISKA Australian Ratings. Also after searching the net I can find World Rankings for the WKA,ISKA & WMC. Yet the only thing I can find on the WKBF is your Australian Website. The Australian Rating are still under construction and have been for some time. And if you put on World Titles where are the World Ratings? Why is this.

How about the WKA website its old and has no Aussie content. We need an updated aussie webpage to reflect whats happening down under.

The WKBF web page does look good, a professional job, we will have to wait til its completed. Not as good as pitbull web page though

There is no Aussie ISKA page either from what I can find Jason.

Hey fair go, what does this statement mean????....... .." for WKBF titles if you think that a sanctioning body is about the quantity and not the quality then you guys need to reaccess about how the sport works..."

I doubt the WKBF can boast quality over the WKA or ISKA. I agree its not necessarily quantity but fighters want to compete so they go where they are matched.

Can you tell us HOW the sport works??????

I agree the WKBF have had some great match ups recently but there is a long way to go to compete with the established bodies. Lets just call a spade a spade and recognise that the WKBF is not at the same level of establishment as other bodies. That doesnt mean it wont be it just isnt there yet.

Can we have a discussion without getting personal....try typing what you believe without using names, it is an interesting topic

Paul has always had a good following,be it fighter or Promoter.
In the early days when Paul first started Promoting I told him and I quote,put on the best possible show you can and it will sell the next show for you.He is not only a trainer but friend to most of his students (as if you cannot tell from the posts)so as a Promoter and Trainer myself I can understand why his students prefer to fight on his shows.

P.S. you don't like this thread,easy piss off.

Well it is obvious that the guys who are posting do not know the International fighters WKBF have brought over to fight our local fighters here we were the first to bring in International Amatuer fighters and found that they were never up to the standard of our fighters here in Australia
because alot of the oversea fighters had turned professional after about 14fights where as our fighters would have had over 20 amatuer fights before they would be qualified for a World Amatuer Title.....
I have been to couple of Pitbull shows since he has been promoting and found them to be good amatuer shows,the only reason I do not go anymore is because I have to pay to get in..he would be the only promoter in Australia that has charged me to get in to watch a event...
It would have to be political for I have never direspected Paul Grima in all the years I have been involved in Kickboxing, I judged 90% of his fights when he was a fighter Amatuer & Pro,when I was ISKA Rep everyone here
in NSW thought it was a shit sanctioning body the people who actually thought that ISKA were nobodies are now the people who a running ISKA,so you critics out there do not try and make out that I have not got any idea on how sanctioning bodies work,it was our organisation that built ISKA and we left them because of a certain person who I thought had no idea of the sport at the time of ISKA coming into NSW and Australia I did not agree with some of his policies so I left and was asked by Rueben Urqiudez Benny the Jets brother if I would like to build WKBF here in the
Sth Pacific and now worldwide,it has taken along time to build but we have now got the best fighters in WKBF here in Australia & worldwide and we are only going to get stronger as this decade unfolds......
I am very proud of WKBF......The sanctioning body moving into the 21st Century....We care about fighters,& Promoters & People & the sport.....
We are moving with the times I respect other bodies and are more than happy & Respect fighters to be free to choose which ever sanctioning title they wish to fight for........
With respect to all promoters,fighters,and sanctioning bodies......

Lucy, when ever I go to a promotion as a spectator not an official I pay to get in. I don not expect to get in for free just because of who I am. The promoters of kickboxing promotions pay big money to put on these shows so I would never use my position to get into a promotion for free. That is not really fair to the promoter.Like I said earlier this thread is not here to bag people or other organisations. We use it as a tool to promote my next promotion and express my views and have a little bit of fun in the process thats all.
One other thing Lucy I thought that the sanction body that Ruben Urqiudez started was called KICK not the WKBF. I could be wrong though just what I thought. I will check with one of my friends that lives in the States Brooks Manson he is the trainer of Don "the Dragon" Wilson. I am sure he will know as he has been involved with the sport for many many years and knows his stuff. I will also check with my Thai Boxing teacher & Ajarn Chai Sirisute he is also my son's Godfather. He has be living in the States for over 35 years now I am sure he will know as will. If I am wrong I will let everyone know I was wrong.

Hi Paul,

I would never charge any promoter from anywhere in the World to come to a show and I have never heard of any promoters who have to pay to get into shows here in NSW and No I am not using my position to get into shows it is called respect for people who have put alot into this sport over the years, Nick Stone,JNI,Robert Murdoch Jrn,Mick Spinks,have never ask me to pay to get into there shows I have always gone on my own so as to keep intouch with the future fighters in this sport they have always conducted there shows with professionalism & Respect......
In 1994 when Ruben Urquidez brought his nephew to fight Neilson Taione for the Superheavy World Amatuer Title at Nrth CurlCurl Community Centre was the day WKBF came to NSW...
I have a official letter from Rueben Urqiduez sanctioning Stan The Man fight with Steve Jez,that was the only way that fight was to go ahead Stan
management wanted a official letter from WKBF it was signed by Ruben Urquidez and other members at the time.. The NSW Boxing Authority have a copy of the letter also....
I just want you to know Paul regardless how you feel about me and what I have done for the sport I will always love kickboxing with a Passion.......
Goodluck for your show on the 27th April, I am sure it will be another successful show .....

Please don't take this the wrong way I am am not trying to be a smart arse. I am not a fighter,trainer or promoter. Just a bloke who likes going to watch kickboxing shows for fun. I have only been following the sport for a couple years now so I really don't know too much about it. So what I see, hear and read is how I learn more about the sport.
You have not really answered any of my questions Lucy. Why doesn't International Kickboxer publish your Australian Ratings.Why can I not find anything else about the wkbf on the net execpt for your Australian site.
I have not yet heard pitbull say anything bad about anyone on this thread either or about wkbf fighters or Kiwi fighters yet you accuse him of that as well, why? The only person that I see issuing challenges here is you.
Lucy Tui
Posted: 2002-04-01 23:31:46
Jason, I personally do not think that ratings in the International Kickboxing mag is going to make a difference to a fighter,check out the WKA & ISKA and you will find how behind they are because it take time to compile information and when it goes to print it would have changed again...
Sorry that there is not any information about WKBF worldwide on the net
there will be soon there are a couple of Promoters who are interested in promoting WKBF in Europe & NZ.....I have oversea representatives working towards putting there Websites together....
I think you need to read this thread through and you will read Paul confirming a remark about WKBF in which stirrer had posted...
If you have attended WKBF shows here in NSW I do not beleive that you have had to wait as long as you have mentioned between rounds they have run smoothly to my mind...and they have been matched pretty well.....
What is wrong with issuing challenges to other bodies or gyms it only helps fighters develop into better fighters....
Jason when you have been in the sport for as long as Paul and I have you will get to understand what is going on....
It sounds like to me you know Paul very well...

Posted: 2002-04-01 23:54:10
Lucy,
I think that issuing challenges should only be made by the fighters or their handlers. Sanctioning bodies have (should have) nothing to do with challenges. Santioning bodies do not represent a fighter. If you were their manager that would be different but sanctioning bodies... i mean does the WBA issue challenges to the WBC or IBF - NO. Each do their own thing and sometimes a fighter unifes the titles - co-sanctioned events.
To the other posters (including Nickosis),
Don't take things so seriously - keep the agro in the ring and stop putting shit on the legends of the sport like Pitbull and myself. Respect.
Lucy Tui
Posted: 2002-04-02 00:04:04

Posted: 2002-04-02 00:45:25
Just wondering, with all these questions about the ISKA, WKBF and WKA and people issuing challenges - are any other organizations taken into consideration. For example, there's a few old wooden stadiums in a Southeast Asian capital and each has there own champions. Of course they're not world champions, and would have to adjust a little for kickboxing, but why not give them a chance to fight for a title at...let's say, somewhere between bantam and welterweight. Let's respect each other and not take life to seriously.

With the exception of performing fighters and their trainers, i reckon everyone should pay to get into a show, regardless of who you are...thats just my opinion...assuming i wasn't performing, i would pay, even if i were the greatest personality in the sport...every little bit to help out the promoter counts...sorry, gone off topic as usual, lol

Jones, you're absolutely right - the legend fighters from Thailand fight to be stadium champ and rarely are crowned world champion even though in the lighter weights they are obviously the best going around. But that goes abck to what i was saying - santioning bodies don't issue challenges, the fighters managers / promoters do. I'm not too sure what Lucy is talking about, especially when she issued a challenge on behalf of a sanctioning body???

Lucy what do you mean it sounds like I know Paul. How you came to that brilliant deduction just by reading what I have written I have no Idea? Are you a fortune- teller? If you are you aren’t a very good one because you are wrong. I don’t know Paul. He has asked me to come and introduce myself after his next show if I go. As long as I don’t get too pissed I probably will. So then I you will be able say I know him. Next you are telling me that I didn’t wait for as long between rounds at some of wkbf shows I have been to. Well I didn’t say rounds I said fights! When you can go to the bar twice in some cases before the next fight starts you know you are waiting too long. And where you say they were pretty evenly matched. I didn’t say that they weren’t matched well. I wouldn’t bloody know the first thing about matching a fight. I thought you got 2 guys who wanted to fight each other and that’s that. The more I read the magazines and web sites the more I learn.That's why I asked your about your ratings. And what I am starting to learn from this web site is that every time someone has something to say that you don’t agree with you try to make them look bad by talking crap about them. I use to think you must have been a nice lady being involved with kickboxing. But the more I read the more wrong I think I must have been.

Love the or hate them promoters are try there best to put on a show and yes there are shit shows that you never go to again but i have been to One pitbull show though only amatuets i quiet enjoy it..

As a mattert of fact what has nickosis done for kickboxing beside insults and critisms.NOTHING. As a matter of fact I wonder if you been to a kickboxing show. probably NOT

Hey nickosis
I was just wondering why you are bagging the WKA and supporting the WKBF now. I know we all have personal choices and there is nothing wrong with that but I am sure it was not too long ago you were bagging the WKBF. And if I remember correctly wasn't there some problem you had with not receiving a Video after you paid for it from Lucy. I thought you were going to take her to consumer affairs for that. What happened? You see it is not really that good to chop and change your mind. People remember things and you will sooner or later be called a hypocrite. Wasn’t Stan a WKA champion. What would he say if he seen what you wrote about the body he won his first World Title in. Also when you say that I wasn’t a very good fighter, maybe you are right. I only had 34 fights I won 21 of them three draws and 10 losses. So I suppose that is not a fantastic record but the bottom line is at least I fought. That’s more than you can say for yourself. You sit behind that computer screen of yours and talk like a big man but you haven’t even had a fight yet. So how can you criticise people that have. I don’t think that is very smart.
I think that some of the stuff you write on here is pretty funny and it does help me promote my next promotion. I also don’t think that you should be banned from ax. Like I said before some of the stuff is pretty funny. But what would happen if you were at one of the Clubs you like to hang out in Melbourne and someone recognised you and didn’t like the stuff you wrote. What would happen then. So I think that maybe next time you put something on ax think before you write it mate. And don't spend all your time bagging everyone.

Pitbull,
I see you are in the middle of it. Well only those who work get dirty. Being from America, I see the sanctioning body fight all the time. I enjoy going to all their shows and mostly they all have the fighters interest at heart. The title thing is what tends to piss me off. If a sanctioning body has title fights and confines the title to the area they represent, then I am all for it.
For us here that means state and local titles and maybe a national title if the group has their stuff together but a world title, no.
I started fighting for the WKA when most of you were sucking your Mom's tit or sucking whatever in Nickosis case and I know them to be a legitimate world organization with valid champions. The ISKA also has proven itself to be a worldwide organization. The WKBF seems to be a small group that is working toward a legitimate place in world fighting. I can not imagine however how they could have obtained that status so quickly.
Go slow and build your reputation by results not talk.
I know Paul Grima and have had the pleasure of his company, both at the fights and over a drink. The man loves the sport as all great trainers do and you folks would do well to listen to him.
A few other items.
When is the Bullet going to fight for the Aussie title?
How big is Awesome? He was solid the last I saw.
Who is this "Dick Head" Nickosis?
I always pay to get in but never for a beer.
The shin guards you are talking about are one step above tissue paper.
Well Paul, give'em hell.

Awesome may have looked solid but I assure you he has never been solid. Solid is a diplomatic way of saying FAT. You have to be honest with Awesome as he already has an army of yes men. He needs the truth, even if it hurts him.

Uncle Brooks its good to hear from you mate. What took you so bloodly long? There has only been over 200 posts. Thanks for the kind words but like I said before I am just one guy in a land of great trainers trying to do his best.But whee you say that you have shared my company at the fights and over a drink. Are you forgetting to tell everyone when the drinking got serious you went off to bed. We still are waiting for you to come to the land down under mate for part two of what started in Maylasia.

Nickosis I think I am going to cry, don't sweat it mate I did not really take offence to anything you said. Its all fun and lifes too short to take things to heart. When I talk about the WKBF I am not bagging the organisation or Lucy just expressing my views that is all.
Lucy Tui
Posted: 2002-04-07 20:05:38
Hi Brooks,
If you think 8 years building WKBF is a short time building I would hate to ask what a longtime to you represents...and 22years in kickboxing.
I have put in many hours and $$!s in helping build WKBF for a woman I guess it sounds crazy to you and others but everything I have done for the SPORT IS WITH PASSION....
I thought someone like yourself who has been around for as long as you would understand such a thing.....
Paul decided to not talk to people like myself because I decided to move on with the sport and be involved with another sanctioning body I am sure everyone came from WKA at one stage of there kickboxing career and now times are changing and progressing. .........
I am still friends with alot of the WKA people, Bob Jones himself he always shows respect towards me when ever we see each other at shows......
I have put enough of my time into this sport to enable me to have opinions on kickboxing here in Australia & Worldwide. I have definetly done my time for the sport.....( with due respect I am sure you have done your time as well.)
I support and respect fighters, promoters, trainers and different sanctioning bodies from all over the world whether they are beginners or champions when you are a representative of this sport you need to accept change that is what helps progression in the sport today, as far as titles are concerned if the fighters have worked hard for it why not......I feel NZ is good enough to fight for World ,Sth Pacific,Comonwealth Titles they are rated as one of the toughest fighting countries in the world...

Regards
Lucy Tui

Hi Brooks, I forgot as far as paying to get in I am not worried about that,it was more the principle we as Promoters support each other with helping other promoters if need fighters,the reason Paul wanted to charge me 4years ago would have been more on the political side because prior to that he use to let me in......like I have mentioned before we all have been
in this sport a very long time it is not the paying it is the respect & principle
I would not charge Paul to enter my show based on Principle & Respect....

you must be sexually frustrated or not getting some. You must be one of those lonely men that spends his money at brothels.. why dont you come to the pitbull show and i definatly like to meet you.. as you can see I dont put much on this thread much cause of my studies but i ot pitbull would like to educated you about life or to GET A LIFE. OH YEAH maybe the birds and the bees. or sorry you may be a faggot. what do you think pitbull?

No unfortunalty I dont train at pitbull . I do train out west and I do have a great trainer whom i like and enjoy.

No I may not be a world champion but I am training kickboxing for my personal enjoyment so I dont think it makes a difference where i train.

So I cant see what your problem with pitbull is.. My opinion is If a kickboxer wants to be a world champion it depends on himself no matter where he trains whether at pitbull gym or anywhere else. dont you agree pitbull.

So nickosis get of your fat ass and go to you local gym an have a go....
Opps , sorry you dont know what a gym is. Its a place where you get fit. Oh yeah nickosis a boxing ring is in a shape of a square just like your head..

If there are no barriers why wont the pitbull guys fight Lucy's wkbf boys????? Double standards??? Please Explain
birdseye
Posted: 2002-04-08 21:10:13
No double standards. Pitbul can probably answer you better but I beleive that as Paul is the WKA rep and employed by them to run the wka in nsw it would be a conflict of interest for him to support other sanctioning bodies. Before you ask the iska and wka work together.

Paul does however support local fighters and will have fighters from any sanctioning bodies to compete in either his shows or other shows. I know that he is currently negotiating to match a high profile fighter who has been with the wkbf lately.

I hope that this clears it up. Sorry to jump in for you Pitbull but I am a little tired of the confusion and misinformation being peddled around

My understanding is that to gain a wka world title you have to compete in a knockout(tournament) against several fighters in an elimination contest. This is one of the reason why amatuer wka world titles are so rare, they are held once a year only. Good luck to Greg if he wants to win both iska and wka titles before going pro.

I hope he does go pro. I am sure that there is at least one match up he wont be able to dodge as a pro like he did as an amatuer. Many people will wait for that day. You have to remember, nobody retires forever these days and comebacks are common.

Yes the fighter in Question was Greg Foley. But they contacted me,(only about three weeks ago.)I don't need to put Greg on my Promotion just to get people in the door. I told them I would try my best but on short notice with a limited budget and already having so many fights matched, it was too much to ask. I may have been able to get him a couple of fighters but their experience level was not the same as Greg's and I did not want to put on a mismatch just to get him on the promotion. At least I tried. I may have him a match for July but that is entirley up to the fighter and his management not me.

Coral, during his career Greg Foley was matched to fight another fighter and the posters where printed and tickets sold and Foley pulled out. He claimed to have glandular fever yet the very night he pulled out he was seen training at the gym and the rest of the week. HE pulled out. Subsequent attempts to rematch were refused for various reasons.

Now by itself this is no big deal and perhaps he was sick, well too sick to take the fight but he was later overheard talking at a show with his trainer and another promoter, who is getting a hammering on another thread, to say THE OTHER GUY pulled out of the fight and he couldnt wait to fight him. Several people heard this. When the other fighter retired Foley was quoted by people he trained with saying the he wouldnt fight Foley, he was the one dodging him. That is not true. That is the reason there is so much feeling about the possible match up

I spoke to Geg before he was matched and he had a great deal of respect for the fighter and he said, " I am not in his league yet." A couple of weeks later I left that gym and then I heard him bagging the other fighter. I am not sure that it was Greg, more Greg being prompted by someone else trying to save face.

This type of face saving is relatively common but sometimes you have to face up to it and do your talking in the ring.

Hopefully we're all "Doing the Right Thing" and if not, your own personal experiences with each organization will speak for itself. As a famous martial arts saying goes;

"It must be experienced in order to be known..."

If you have never delt with a certain organization personally and truly know of no facts about it, or experienced any negative issues "YOURSELF", it may just be better to stay quiet... And remember, some problems you find have nothing to do with the sanctioning body. Meaning, sometimes it may be the officials or promoter or a fan in the stands. Do the research like we do before casting a stone if necessary. And if you can justify the facts, throw that stone HARD! Because if someone is NOT doing the right thing, we need to let everyone know about it...
And for yourself, ask yourself the same question we do everyday...
"How hard is it to do the right thing?" Hopefully your answer will be the same as ours... "Not at all.."

I havent heard any bad news about the IKF. Only some reports about drinking in Malaysia. I dont think the IKF is active in Australia. I heard a rumour that they were initially involved with a suspect promoter no longer active but nothing recently. Good luck to you.

hey I checked out the site, wow that has to be the most interesting up to date kickboxing sanctioning body site. Looks like the IKF is more active around the world that any other body. The web traffic page doesnt mention the wkbf site?

Who sanctions IKF in Aus. The south Pacific rankings lead me to believe that there has been no action here for a long time. If you can have fights all over the world then Aust should be part of it..

Paul's PitBull Site is a Australian geocities site, so there is no "Individual ranking for his particular site, only a ranking for "ALL" the Australian GeoCities sites, which rank at 27,292. This is the rating for the main address of http://au.geocities.com

Everything beyond this just add to the main .com address. such as Paul's at;
/pitbulltraining/

As far as Lucy's site, it ranks in at 1,690,223 on the World Wide Web, with #1 being the best and so on... etc. See where other sites rank for yourself at;

http://info.alexa.com

For some reason, the IKF site keeps coming up under the name Ringside Gym, which is our IKF Training facility. It's linked off our front page, but a part of our website. The IKF site is the highest ranking kickboxing sanctioning body site in the world at 324,832.
Closest behind us is the WKA at 656,068

ISKA is way down at 1,020,133, not as big as most of the people on this page think.

Check any site out for yourself. The Alexa site is great! No way to cheat there. It's all facts.
K-1 Japan leads the way with a ranking of 77,025.
These change daily and we try to update them weekly on our page as given above.

As far as Australia and the IKF? We've been there before, were sure to be there again..

And thanks for the compliments... They are greatly appreciated.

Yep I will take it easy on Abdul cause his Mummy rang me to say he is good at home and she doesnt worry where he is, cause he is always in his room.

But she said she is worried what he does in there, he seems to have alot of wet hankee's, when she does his washing.

I hate to say this , But ABDUL, your real Father isnt "ABDULA the Butcher" (aka the wrestler), Your mummy said it was "ABDUL the Milkman".

how are ya old son. looks like I might have lost the Badato Vs Turner fight. It is ashame both these boys have had a win each this would have been the decider. Grant Turner has a relative in W.A that is unfortunely dying of cancer so he had to leave the week before last. I spoke to his trainer yesterday and said if he gets back in time it still might be on but I doubt it very much. Time will tell. Still have a shit load of fights left,touch wood. I be glad when the whole thing is over, with ten of my fighters fighting on the night I am just doing too many pad rounds.

I hope sanity has prevailed after what I saw last night. Any trainer or promoter that arranges a fight two week before an already matched fight is an idiot if he is the trainer and a backstabber if he is the promoter. This kind of thing ruins the sport and is very unprofessional. In NSW if a fight is stopped either by TKO or KO then the fighters cant fight again for 30 days.

Where is the respect? In my view these people are not worthy to be dealt with by credible sanctioning bodies. Whilst their opponents are training hard they are preparing for another fight. Its hard enough telling a fighter that his guy has pulled out through injury but when its because he fought two weeks earlier thats bullshit. I question if a fighter can recover in two weeks from the mental and physical effort that goes into a fight, especially a title fight.

Sorry to have a snap but it pisses me off having to be exposed to stupid trainers who reflect poorly on the promoters who then cop it from the crowd because the advertised fights dont go ahead. Maybe I am overeacting. I am interested in the thoughts of others on the matter.

thanks for your earlier comments about incompetent trainers matching their fighters two weeks before a shedule fight. What pisses me off even more is when these incompetent trainers promise you, that this won't happen and then they turn round and do it anyway. It is nothing more than unprofessional. I have even had trainers say don't worry he will be O.K. How can they can possibly give me 100% Guarantee is nothing more than crap. Anything can happen in the fight game and any decent trainer should know that. I feel sorry more for the other fighter that is training hard to fight.

I have sorted out these problems for my promotion now John "Popeye" Bonanno will now be fighting Adrian “Rainy” Lavaro. for the WKA NSW Super Lightweight Title.

What is all this talk about pitbull, fighters fighting 2 weeks before your show. What is the big deal. Why can't they just fight again. I don't understand.
BULLET
Posted: 2002-04-15 07:35:03
u don't understand jason. sorry it isn't very clear for you, the pitbull will clarify it for you, but basically, when a fighter agrees to fight on a promoter's card, and then that promoter finds that they are fighting 2 weeks beofre their card, they are going to get very unhappy, even pissed off.

Paul does not let any of us fight on any show 2 weeks before his show. and to even it up, he would expect the same courtesy from other gyms, that no one on his card fights 2 weeks before his card. this is to protect the card, and make sure there are no pull outs due to uneccesary injuries,or even a knock out (which no one will admit to when they take a fight).

Paul is being pissed down the back of his shirt by some trainers just to get their boys to fight, and it is totally disrespectful to paul and other promotoers.

cmon guys, lets get some standards, and some groundwork going in our sport. we need some consistency and some basic rules for trainers and promoters across australia to know and follow. saturday proved that there needs to be a greater emphasis on backstage management and promoting.

Jason
the big deal is about this. If a fighter agrees to fight on one of my promotions the deal is no fights thirty days before the scheduled bout. Why? Well in this State if a fighter is knocked out he has a manadtory thirty day suspension. That is state law. That means he can not compete for thirty days. So when a fighter takes a fight after he and his trainer promises that they won't fight thirty days before it is very unprofessional. The bottom line is that the fight has been advertised and there is another fighter training hard somewhere for this fight. I don't like to let any fighter down when he is training for a fight it is just not fair thats all. So I hope now you can understand my concern.

Sorry I havent been on for a while I was still asleep after the debacle on Sat night. There must have been twenty five fights, two demos and an interview at what was a very poorly run show. There was even a decision on a fight changed heaps after the fight? The show finished at about 1.15am. TOO long, and now I hear he had fighters on who were supposed to fight two weeks later on the pitbull show. He shouldnt have had them on, he didnt need the fights.

BTW Cameron from QLD shouldnt be allowed to fight here if he doesnt have a go he was disgraceful.

Sorry it has taken so long to respond. I have been very busy with organising the promotion and preparing ten of my fighters who are fighting. That does not leave much time for anything else. John "Popeye" Bonanno will now be fighting
Adrian “ Rainy ” Lavaro for the WKA State Super Lightweight Title. This has happened because the former opponent decided to fight on a promotion two weeks prior after promising he would not. I did not want to risk him being injuried or knockout so I replaced him. The Grant Turner VS Reinhard Badato Australian title fight won't be happening as well due to a serious illness in Grants family. Apart from that everything else remains the same, so far.
