We put a lot of time into the fighters on our network and we do it for free. Companies look at sponsorship like this......they give you 500 bucks and a shirt....People need to buy 500+ bucks worth of shirts because you are wearing it. Pure Marketing... Think about all the website you see charging people to use their forum and not sponsoring fighters. If a sites isn't helping fighters...what is it doing? Personally I think everyone that profits from the sport has an obligation to support fighters. We developed this site based on helping fighters first then worrying about profitability. Sometime you just have to lead by example. Next time you go to a site ask yourself, what's it giving back to the fighters?

Makes me wonder how much tapout does. You see them pick up guys on tv but what support do they give the guys.

Yeah. I was looking into joining some more MMA forums and all of the ones I looked at charge membership fees. Some of them offer free membership, but if you choose the free option, you have to wait 24-72 hours to make any posts. None of them I looked at sponsor fighters.

MMA.TV is on that comes to mind. The way they set up membership packages..... you can post there with out paying but are very restricted as to what you can do. Most of the common things people find useful are only available to the paid members.

Here is something else that is a little interesting.
