LondonRingRules Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 --- Said in the beginning I was dubious of the two promoters behind this, but thus far thanks to the fighters it's been a brilliant success, that is until the fighters ain't being paid. Maybe eventually, but for now a time for all to sober up and await the other shoe dropping.

Ton Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Re: WBSS II Kaputsky? Was reading this earlier, doesn't sound good! As they say if something seems too good to be true, it usual is.... The WBSS has driven along nicely for a good period of time before it has started to splutter with issues, at least. And it's been a fun ride while it's lasted.... Even if these cowboys who are overseeing can't see it out, I would imagine Eddie Hearn would fancy taking it over, showcasing it on DAZN if a new organisation is welcomed to step in and keep it going, given it's success so far.

pittbox Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Re: WBSS II Kaputsky? They've made some crazy-ass decisions like setting fights up in some weird locations. It must've costed them some money. SMW Final in Saudi Arabia surely was a cry for financial help. Making 3 tournaments in the 2nd decision was a risky decision and it'd be a huge blunder if they mess this up. I've always had doubts about supposed financial "success" of WBSS taking lack of lucrative TV deals into consideration, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cableaddict Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 Re: WBSS II Kaputsky? It seems to me that the only way they ever got the thing to work at all was to offer the top-tier fighters exorbitant amounts of money. If that part of it isn't happening, then they're finished. No mount of promotion, or silly little trophy, is going to get those guys in the ring. So ...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sould664 Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Re: WBSS II Kaputsky? First season was great, but does anyone feel that some of the second seasons division were lacking some of the top fighters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Re: WBSS II Kaputsky? Seen this story doing the rounds and a concern. Not getting a UK broadcaster probably didn't help. WBSS still pumping out fight PR on Ringnews24, so think they must know that all will be ok. They need to get these payments sorted before someone pulls out.
