Doeboy Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Do any of you guys look at the guys P4P rating when you match up fights? I haven't, I usually go by skill level and try to match that way. The reason I ask is because I had a fighter, who is 4-2 turn down a fight with one of my guys who is 2-1 because my guy is 5000 slots higher up in the P4P ratings. Has anyone else experience this?

ndisstruktable Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I don't necessarily look at the P4P ratings... I go by where they are in the fighter list with their Popularity+Hype rating and match em up by that... I've had people turn down fights for all kinds of different reasons over the last 3 months, it's frustrating but it usually works out in the end Gogo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doeboy Posted November 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I go by hype+pop and thats it. I dont get many fights turned down really. Maybe I'll give that a try. His guy has the higher pop, but my guy has the higher hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 Maybe I'll give that a try. His guy has the higher pop, but my guy has the higher hype. Look at the org fighterlist and go by that. Saves a lot of checking all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplyput Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 I own Knights Squad in RIO---I look only at the rank in my org and then the p4p rating...i never look at hype or popularity. If you are trying to offer fair fights and real fights, going by rank is the only proper way to do it...why keep matching people up that are even in skills? The whole point of having fighters fight is to gain rank. Then by gaining rank, they will automatically gain hype and popularity, (which in turn helps the org owner financially).

Guest Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 But going by hype+pop guarantees you the best matchups in terms of increasing event ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaytonKain Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I go based off the rankings in their weight class. Thats how I determine #1 contenders usually as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOG Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I use hype+pop normally but I still get some that turn down fights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHU Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I go by hype+pop too. Then I take a look at the matchup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 I just try to match guys close in Hype+pop firstly so they are close in the divisional rankings. Their records and experience can be a factor if i have several options, as of course can the match up itself style wise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BizzyB Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Seems like we all pretty much do the same thing. I do find though that it becomes harder for guys at the bottom of the division to move up because they are fighting guys that also have low hype+pop.
