Hmm. The Red Devils trainer will be the matchmaker…
I bet we see a bunch of Red Devils on their card.
Whatever happened to getting a non-biased, non-affiliated matchmaker?
I know one right now that would blow Apy out of the water… Gary Marino.
‘Nuff said.
DarthMolen:
are you crazy? Can you read?
“Apy Echteld was appointed vice president of fighter development. Echteld, 46, will be responsible for match-making and helping to identify fighters for M-1 Global to sign.”
Great press release, tells us nothing new. They might as well have just told us to rewatch the press conference or go to the M-1 Global website.
It’s just to keep the company in the spotlight. Wheels have to be seen turning, ya know? The most interesting bit of news out of this is the VP of SPX is on the board … who’s to say how big of an involvement SPX is actually gonna put into this though. Still too early to tell, but I’m slowly starting to go from thinking “This thing is gonna fall apart” to “This thing will be around for at least a short while before going down in flames”
That FightMetric site is ambitious, but a little bit silly.
Is it just me or is the whole M1 thing just getting more and more slimey with a ton of conflicts of interest?
I’m with you, Dan. The whole thing just feels…off, somehow.
I feel the same way about it, Aaron.
M-1 isn’t going to need SFX Media & Events if they don’t get a major stable of fighters that aren’t the standard Red Devil guys. They can’t be just M-1 Mixfight, but international. If that’s the case, which is what it is starting to look like, they will sink faster than the Titanic.
LOL at Apy Echteld as matchmaker
not sure how any of this is any different to the M1 mixfight crap that Apy and Vadim have delivered for many years – other than now they will have access to ATT fighters thru Monte
oops, forgot, they had that in the past as well
