Cherry picking at it's finest

Hey guys please take a look at this fight:

It's an amazing 130k vs 290k title fight! Look how competitive that fight was!

 

This is definitely a world class cherry picking because if you looked closely, the 130k fighter is managed by the org owner.

 

I feel bad for the manager who accepted this fight only to add an automatic loss in his record.

What's hilarious is that I've tried two times to contact Eduardo Silva since he picked up Casino Fight Nights (which wasn't exactly a haven for great decision making BEFORE the sale), and both times he snubbed my messages. I had wanted to offer the guy some advice, since he hasn't even been in the game as long as my young fight organization has existed, but he has refused help.

 

He doesn't know what he is doing to some extent- he immediately took an organization that had been frequenting the 2200 seat arena and booked his first event in the micro arena, taking a big loss for the first event under new management.

 

However, he isn't stupid: he got rid of the ID cap and booked his FA pickups to fight in four of the six championship fights. The victory speech in OP's linked fight is definitely in poor taste; I'm not going to say that Eduardo Silva has poor character, but that little sentence makes me believe that he does.

 

Post fight, Seaville Bri stared into the camera and said 'WHAT the FUCK, it was an easy fight, he fought like an asshole, I didn't feel any resistance, I have no equal here, I'm the best in the world'.

And completely unrelated and just coincidence that both managers logged in just 90 seconds apart even though one supposedly lives in Spain and the other in Russia..........

 

I also find it funny that even though it was the org owner's fighter that won the title he still decided to run off with the belt lol.

This is why i'm making a rule that neither I or anyone else who works for my org is allowed to have any fighters competing with the org

Absolute bullshit. Totally taking advantage of an inexperienced manager

Ironically, the org owner joined this game more than a year later than the victim manager. The victim manager isn't active at all though.

Okay, so Eduardo Silva cancelled all of the events remaining with Casino Fight Nights before closing the company abruptly. He has since started a new fight organization, primarily consisting of free agent fighters that he has picked up that have upper mid level skills (remarkable-exceptional levels), and has been signing mostly lower level fighters to fight against them.

 

His bank balance is -22,000 and his company has $33. His organization has FIVE events booked with only eighteen fighters under contract- the majority being his own fighters.

 

I'm contacting him one last time, trying to offer him some guidance before he squanders his opportunities a bit further... but, at this point, I'm not sure that he knows or cares.
