Allen_TapStats Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 The unfair payment of MMA fighters has long been an issue in the MMA community - most recently highlighted by Sarah “Too Sweet” Alpar, who had to launch a GoFundMe in order to train full-time for her upcoming UFC fight. The answer to this is tipping, just as we do for content creators. TapStats is the world’s first platform that allows fans to tip athletes directly as the action happens. Be among the first CORE MMA community to send a tip on the very first day it goes live. Only MMA insiders have been invited so they can get a special place in the history of our sport On July 10th, the first version of our app will be on the app store. Feel free to try it (sign up using the link below) and let us know what you think. We’ll be adding more exciting features in the upcoming months, stay tuned! https://www.tapstats.live/app-tour #TipYourFighter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rambo Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 What's the transaction fee? most curious to see the % the app takes. Also, while good concept. Not a chance. They're not strippers, they're cock fighters. Fans already getting ripped off by UFC. UFC should compensate them. But cool concept to make $$$ lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gator001 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 not to be a sad sack but most 'charities' less than 5-`10% actually goes to what the issue is/was I love MMA but the fact that the UFC run puppy mills and sign people who are desperate means Im not giving money to anyone to pay fighters we pay people living wages in normal parts of the world and dont tip, I aint fucking tipping fighters who cant stand up for themselves Fuck Dana and his BS business model, they sold for 4 billion last time and you want us to TIP the fighters??? GTFOH! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skenoj Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 do we learn something from fights if we dont risk our money with betting? no why we should tip??? no reason no thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydebankblitz Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 If you want fighters to make money, pay for the fight event instead. The only way to create lasting change for fighter pay is for smaller orgs to actually make enough to pay the fighters. This means fighters have options and dont immediately jump at the 10 times pay increaae UFC offers them. The only UFC will increase it's pay is through competition, not charity.

Hi Rambo, we will be taking a 5% platform fee + app store fees (TBD), our model is meant to be the complete opposite of the UFC model where the fighter gets ~20% and the UFC gets ~80%.

Allen_TapStats Posted July 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Hey everyone! Thank you for the comments and feedback. TapStats is not just a platform for tipping athletes - TapStats also provides a gamified experience for watchers through tapping. Taps records live strike data which TapStats project as a variety of performance indicators - they can help you better understand the fight. At the end of the fight, you're given an accuracy score and we will introduce a reward system in the upcoming months. This app is totally free for MMA fans that want to tap or follow the live data - tipping is just if you want to. Additionally, TapStats end goal is to bring awareness and exposure to lesser known, upcoming fighters in the smaller leagues. We know that the tips and exposure from the app will impact their career the most. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

popart Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Just another group capitalizing on the exploitation of fighters. Fighters shouldnt have to live on tips like a waitress at Applebees. You want to help fighters, Help them unionize. Only way it’s ever going to change. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
