Had this reply ready for the thread on the MMA forum but it's been looked so:

Yes am sure trainers are concerned over safety so as long as that the show is insured etc.

As a fighter/trainer I would say insurance would be one of the least of my concerns.

Who is at the meeting? Who is the ref? Who THE **** ARE YE TO BE ASKING SUCH QUESTIONS? Who in god names are ye? How dare anyone ask questions like that unless the are in the fight / tournament?

These are the questions any competent coach will be asking before getting his fighter involved in a show.

I would have been one of those guys willing to give the promoters the benefit of the doubt.
Just a quick note to the promoters:
1. You are unknowns who are not part of the MMA scene here; hence people will be a touch suspicious to start with. That's why its important to get you're sh^t in order before you go looking for fighters.
2. Have a decent well known ref(s) sorted. That's the fight question any decent coach is going to ask about. If you are surprised by this then it should give you an idea about how little you know about MMA. An incompetent ref is a very dangerous thing to have in any sport, and that is particularly true in MMA.
3. Wanting to charge pro fighters €20 for the privilege of fighting is a joke. As a point of principal I wouldn't pay that.
4. Using a bebo page looks terribly amateur. Taking the rules from the www.tribalwarfare.ie without the promoters permission and without even bothering to read them and take out the TW references is pretty bad as well.

You guys are coming across as completely amateur. Setting up a few different accounts, posting under them and expecting not to be found out is just more of it.

As for elitism: I’m all for it. Standards and professionalism are important. Like I said at the top, I would have been willing to give this show the benefit of the doubt but its looking more and more like a joke to be honest.

well it does sound like a great idea. A very exciting show, but I do agree with Tim. Who is organizing the event ? What kickboxing org and and rules are being used ?
