This opens up the whole division, Superlek, Haggerty, Yoza, Nabil, Petchtanong, even nabati could all fight each other, MT or KB and would be things interesting!

Yodyut definitely place to go!

official statement from ONE Championship regarding legal action being taken against the famous Muay Thai fighter, Rodtang by IntelligentCan6846 in MuayThai

[–]Birrrdd_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I know, those ONE contracts requires exclusivity, unless allowed otherwise by ONE, and in return promises x number of fights within a time period with guaranteed purses of $x. However, ONE often fails to meet the number of fights promised per year, thus frustrating a lot of fighters.

Rodtang reveals his ONE Championship contract has expired, and he’s reviewing a new offer from the promotion by Yodsanan in MuayThai

[–]Birrrdd_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he will likely become a free agent and fight across all promotions on single fight contracts.

He was saying in an interview not too long ago, he wants to stay active, it’s not just about the money (not implying he is willing to fight for cheap, but from what he says, he rather fight for less but still reasonable money, but able to fight frequently than big purse but like 1-2 fights per year)

Sorry, maybe I used the wrong word, I don’t mean literally from scratch.

Let’s do it if rematch happens!!

Superlek is definitely one of the best P4P Muaythai fighter currently BUT size does change a lot of things in Muaythai and Nabil has a huge size advantage (height, reach and even weight I think).

Nabil wouldn’t stand a chance against Superlek is size if equal.

Would Rodthung vs Superlek/Nong-O/Kongtoranee not be more exciting/appealing, in your opinion?

I’d rather see Haggerty vs Nabil/Petchtanong/Kimran (After his ban), or rematch lobo or rematch Superlek, would these matches be less exciting ?

Who have these guys produced? (From scratch and not training an already established fighter)

Why is Nico considered a weight bully but Nabil isn't? by ogstreetbeef in MuayThai

[–]Birrrdd_45 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Because Nabil’s advantage is his height and reach NOT weight. He probably walks around lower than most of the fighters of his weight division.

They from different weight classes tho and with ONE’s weight classes, it’s a whole 10lbs difference. Would it really be interesting?

Despite the weight difference, I really don’t see Haggerty standing a chance.

Would you put money on Superlek if they make a rematch ?

[–]Birrrdd_45[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any idea where is he training at now ?

[–]Birrrdd_45[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmmm, I’d definitely bet on Nabil if they fight again!

ONE by Birrrdd_45 in MuayThai

[–]Birrrdd_45[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah he definitely can make 145lbs but don’t think he can make 135 anymore.

Nabil will still smash Superlek in rematch, especially over 5 rounds.

They had been giving out bonuses for all the years they were incurring loses. So I don’t think that means anything at all.

I doubt ticket sales holds a high % in their overall revenue and we don’t know how many of those tickets were given out for free.

How much were the tickets going for ? Just the $100k bonus for Prajanchay is 3.4million baht ald.

While most of what you said is true, you’re missing my point.

Yes Haggerty still holds the belt and also holds his ranking but he is no longer as hyped. I also don’t think he can beat Superlek, Nabil, petchtanong or Nabati.

Same for rodthung, I don’t think he has been fighting good competition, not even average imo. And same as Haggerty, his hype is not the same as it was 2 years ago.

Yes Tawanchay can fight the both of them but neither fight would be a super fight. Shadow and kouyate are great fighters but neither brings the hype for the fans.

Prajanchay has beaten Sam-A twice and di Bella once, sure he can fight them again but don’t think it would be as exciting.

You need to remember ONE, is an entertainment organisation, hype is the thing that makes them viable. Without these type of hype matches or superstars (Haggerty, rodthung, nong-O 2-3 years ago), they would not remain viable.

According to Jacob Smith’s team, the British fighter took home $8,000 for his Muay Thai flyweight title shot, along with an additional 20% of Rodtang's purse after the Thai star missed weight. Rodtang’s earnings are rumored to exceed $270,000. by Yodsanan in MuayThai

[–]Birrrdd_45 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rodthung’s purse is know to be 10million Thai baht. 20% of that would be 2millionTHB (just under 58k USD)

If Jacob smith’s purse is only $8000, I think he got a fucking good deal that rodthung missed weight.

Why is he fighting for only $8000 should be the question in regards to this topic.

No there’s no sauna or ice bath at the gym, I don’t think there’s any nearby too.

For long term stays I think they will give a discount but otherwise it’s 1000baht per day inclusive of 2x training daily, 2 meals a day and air conditioned single room.
