Just give it to them as a gift. thanks mike for quick reply , dont you ever sleep? lol serious though in real life i would make and use suppliements. it stands to reason if i make a product i know is awsome i would have my fighters buy it. the only reason i started a company for suppliements was because most of the other companies are all lying through thier teeth about 150+ products. anyone who has owned a suppliements compaNY KNOWS THE SCORE it is legal to lie about products but unethical. dunno , is there a way for me to move my products around so as my fighters can use them , without giving them freebies? for instance i get a m8 to buy them , is there a way he can sell them on?

We'd also get to see who trys to lie when they put "150" (or whatever) and then right next to it is, example: Superbuff 150 [ 85 ] Ha, that'd get em.

PBR Posted August 23, 2009 Report Share Posted August 23, 2009 nope fighters cant trade or exchange either --- it sucks cause i would rather my fighters buy the product also instead of my company lose money by giving it to them but thats the way it is --- you might also want to check this thread out on sigs, tycoon wants to keep the images to 60 pixals in height http://www.mmatycoon.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=1050 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 ^ thats a pretty cool story... I might read the article in a bit... Anyways, yeah, smart move by Mike. I was planning on paying back my loan 5 times quicker than normal by having all my rich fighters drop like 3-4 grand on my company. I wasnt very happy when I couldnt do it but it is understandable.

danehoy12 Posted August 26, 2009 Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 Ha, random story for anybody who takes their time to read this, but it's pretty interesting. full article here My friend's (I lived with him a year ago for about 6 months, known him for a few years before he moved in with me) dad laundered over $100 million dollars for the Colombian Cali Cartel. full article here No bullshit. Well, he never told us (me and his son) what he went to prison for in New York for 4 years, we just knew it was money laundering. He's always been friendly with our Sheriff, Mike Scott (might as well be a wanna be DEA agent. He can go shove his badge up his ass.) and he ran Mike Scotts campaigns. Well, technically he "did not" and Mike Scott's "grandmother" did because it's illegal for a convicted felon to be that involved in political campaigns. Anytime me and Dick (his sons name, too) were in some type of situation that involved police, we'd call his dad.. and the situation was fixed. Cops would post up down the end of the street and kept pulling people over leaving our house, problem was it was the same few girls they kept pullin over, and they did it like 4-5 times. He called his dad and we didn't see them again on our street. Hell I won't lie... it was great. We got pulled over one time turning around before a liscense checkpoint (just like a DUI checkpoint) and like 8 cops came outta nowhere and had us surrounded, we pulled over cops came up and little Dick (haha) was on the phone with his dad and the cop recognized him, asked about his dad dick spence, and little Dick was like yeah he's on the phone you wanna talk to him and the guy was just like no, and all the cops left immedietly lol we got lucky. Some people don't see shit like this often, so a lot of people are completely stupid and blind to the 'corruption' we have in our governments and think that shit only happens overseas. Haha, like I said some people are just stupid. Fort Myers, Florida. If it happens here, it happens almost EVERYWHERE. Anyway the whole story got brought up locally and they're making a big deal about Mike Scott's friendship with "felon" and "con man" Dick Spence. Something like this happened to me as well. I went to school with the movers and shakers of Latin America. Type of thing you would see were Ferraris on AmEx statements or nephews of presidents who embezzled large amounts of US aid money...you get the idea. So I was in a coastal city in Latin America. I was 17 going on 21, and at an exclusive beach club began getting my first taste of booze. Everyone wanted to buy a shot for the gringo, and before too long, I was roaring drunk on the beach. Of coarse, my Spanish greatly improved while intoxicated, and the liquid courage had me screaming the worst kinds of obscenities at the cops. They were going to take me to a nasty, nasty jail (open to debate whether I would make it that far or drown in a ditch), when my friend (we can call him "Red") came running up. Though I remember little, I remember him saying to them in Spanish, "Do you know who the f*** I am?" "Do you know who the f*** my dad is?" There were several minutes of near-begging by the officers and clumsy explanations on how they were just going to give me a ride home. Most of the conversation became on how they would make it up to me. It ended with them walking me to the bar and eventually my friend's driver's car (maybe carried is a better word). While most of my friends came from rich families who made it the legit way- bribery-I came to really understand that Red's dad was a (the) middle man for moving our vices through said country.

Guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Because you could use it as a method of money laundering. Just give it to them as a gift. Couldn't you use a gym for money laundering, too? We still allow people to join their own gyms. ex. Let's say you've got 3 fighters each with $5000 to burn. You could create a gym, hire a useless coach, set the gym fees to $5000, join the fighters and then close down the gym. Bam. Manager now has $14000 more than before. edit: actually, you could eventually sack the coach and keep the gym fees at $5000 permanently to use whenever you need to (and who knows maybe some poor sap will accidentally join your gym) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 That's why max gym fee is $500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambo Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Gym fees can only go to 499. I don't see the problem with fighters sinking their money into a gym though. but yeah that was a cool story. Got lucky man you can disappear fairly easily in other countries.

Guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Is there a limit to how often you can leave/join a gym? If not it's just a matter of patience :V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBR Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Is there a limit to how often you can leave/join a gym? If not it's just a matter of patience :V no limit you can leave and join one everyday if you want too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 no limit you can leave and join one everyday if you want too Yeah I just tested it out now and had a dude at one of my gyms leave and join and leave and join. So the $500 gym fee limit means nothing: I can still siphon as much money as I want to my manager/companies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMATycoon Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Yes, if someone decides to be a bit of a dick they could do that. It's something we'll close up eventually but it's not a priority at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGuy Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 Sir Mike don't kick people out of their Gyms that's just not right most people open up gyms to get their guys the best training and the few money hungry gyms are easy to spot out. Not saying you said that but I for one protest the idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
