KingMSD Posted November 6, 2014 Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 So recently i had a fight where my fighter was in the right city on weight for the fight. However the opponent was off weight and had to catch an auto flight for the fight. The result was a no contest because the other fighter couldn't cut the weight. So i didnt get paid for the fight an infact lost a lot (relatively) of money due to flying to and from the fight and hotel fees. I would like some way maybe a new company or maybe in org contracts where they can insure a fighter against this potential situation. Where it would kick in an pay the contracted fighters base pay and win bonus if they are there for the fight and the opponent messes up somehow (wrong city/overweight). Thoughts on this? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hindenpeter Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 who'd be paying for this? the fighter or the org? And how often do NC's occur these days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xanax Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Make the manager of the fighter who caused the NC pay the expenses. I like the idea. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPowell1990 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I see no reason why the other manager wouldn't have to pay the cost. Too many inactive users to penalize the fight org. though IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hindenpeter Posted November 13, 2014 Report Share Posted November 13, 2014 so this something else then an insurance now - that's a penalty for NC's - which is a good idea - and it makes sense to pay it to the people who have the financial loss which is mostly the other fighter and the orgso it's like the 'not-make-weight-still-fight-and-give-some-of-you're-purse-to-the-other-fighter'-deal they had in some MMA orgs in RL - does it make sense to have that here? - are there any other reasons for NC then weights with the autoflights and all? insurance would be if the org or fighter pays a little to the insurance, and the insurance pays them if a fight falls through - but it kinda feels unfair because the people who do nothing wrong have to pay a fee - although this would be the way they'd work this out in real life bizz.

fenixink Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 This seems like a good idea, a fighter/manager should not be penalized if they make weight and the opponent doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
