MMAFA web site launch today; Fighters Association vs. Union

MMAFA.TV was launched today and will be a clearing house of not only stories from various web sites but also a compilation of content that highlights some of the themes that Rob Maysey is looking to do with his attempted creation of a fighter’s association.

The biggest challenge for Rob is to try to explain to people what the difference between a fighter’s association and a union is. Eight questions for the Mixed Martial Arts Fighters Association (MMAFA). That’s about as clear of a definition as to what the mission statement of the MMAFA is as you can possibly get.

Leave it to the MMABay radio show to describe attorney Rob Maysey in this manner:

The entire show includes coverage from MMA explosion last night. Guests interviewed this week include “rob” who was a crappy guest with an odd website, Ryan Couture, Roy Nelson, Jeremy Horn and Mike Goldberg! Very packed show from start to finish including horrible tech issues which are resolved on the fly and gives us a complete and very entertaining show this week with over 3 hours of MMA content.

The interview with “rob” is described by Rob in these terms:

Today’s radio show—that I thought was a little bizarre right after.

Asks what I do—I briefly answer. Asks if it’s a union. I say no, explain the difference.

Next question was, “Oh, so it’s the first organized fighters union?”

I explain again—No, its not a union.

They were uninterested after that.

What is your take on the value of having a Fighter’s Association in MMA? Is it more feasible in your mind than creating a union?
