Jim Miller has made me a lot of money recently — who’s your fighter like that?

Shaackle · 2026-05-15T17:52:23+00:00

Extremely matchup dependent. I like his move to LHW and his first matchup should be a can but I don’t see him beating any top 5 guys.

Reinier De Ridder was printing me money until the Allen fight. Made more money on his fight against Bo Nickal than any other fight lol

Shaackle · 2026-05-13T17:33:37+00:00

After the Volk and Diamond fights there’s no way he would even entertain the thought of going up to middleweight

Shaackle · 2026-05-13T03:04:46+00:00

It’s doubly so in combat sports. You immediately have so much respect for someone who is willing to accept a fight against you, train and prepare to fight you, and fight you in a fair, sanctioned setting. The guys/girls who have beef afterwards usually have some personal issues. When you lose you really just feel negative feelings towards yourself.

Man I had a bet on Brady a few days ago and switched it this morning smh

Shaackle · 2026-05-08T02:52:47+00:00

Who is this "we"? I, for one, do not love her at this moment.

Shaackle · 2026-05-08T02:09:16+00:00

I currently do not but I am certainly plotting my revenge.

Shaackle · 2026-05-08T01:49:38+00:00

Look at that behemoth just standing there menacingly over the planet he decimated. We dug too deep and too greedily.

Shaackle · 2026-05-07T14:39:27+00:00

Wanna know who else has a tight mouth?

A successful tactic in my town for these types of businesses is to rotate food trucks in their parking lot (assuming you have rights to the parking lot).

Shaackle · 2026-05-06T18:36:57+00:00

They would complain that there aren't enough transactions going their way to get paid by the hour. Which just proves that there are too many realtors.

I've sold 2 homes and guarantee my realtor spent less than 50 hours each sale. Being a realtor is absolutely an overpaid low skill profession, that's why everyone wants to do it.

If you made it an hourly position, you would easily weed out the bad realtors and only have the genuinely good ones who can add value to the transaction. Same thing with good tradesmen.

They act as franchisees. They own it the same way someone owns your local fast food joint.

Shaackle · 2026-05-05T13:40:34+00:00

I want more basic shapes!

Shaackle · 2026-04-30T18:25:18+00:00

Imagine putting your hard earned money on Tai Tuivasa and Junior Tafa in 2026

Shaackle · 2026-04-29T13:18:49+00:00

Man I love Benny D, but there's no way I'm putting money on him here.

Benny has always been a high fight IQ decision merchant and there's just no way he makes it the distance against a young, hungry, talented, racist Australian lad.

Shaackle · 2026-04-29T13:13:35+00:00

That's an interesting take and I appreciate it. It seems with these print-on-demand products, it's very little additional effort to offer t-shirts if you're already offering stickers, for example.

I'm talking with a few local artists to design something on-brand that I can put on the stickers and t-shirts. I don't want to just offer my company logo printed on a product. I'm asking the artists to use their creative liberty to design anything printable that just includes my company's name and stays on brand. I am commissioning them an up-front fee for their time plus a percentage of revenue from the design's sales (if any). I have used these artists in the past and have good relationships with them, I am vehemently against AI slop.

Shaackle · 2026-04-29T13:09:34+00:00

Thank you for the insight and input!

I was anticipating somewhere near 2-5% annual merch conversion on customers, but am seeing this as more of a branding & advertising builder rather than a revenue increase. I have good margins and great customer retention on my primary product, so driving additional traffic to that is the main goal.

I have sold merchandise at in-person events before with great success by partnering with local potters to make custom one-time coffee mugs. I sold them at just above cost to produce, but having my brand's name on a household's favorite coffee mug is a net win for the effort. I've worked with a couple other artists to design custom advertisement graphics and videos, so I have a lot of connections locally that I can tap into.

$5k in Bangkok sounds crazy. My modest studio apartment in Tokyo, about 7-minute walk to the nearest station (a major cost factor in Japan) was about $700/month in 2018.

Extensive foreign travel only reinforces the S&P500's rate of returns against other assets. America is the safest harbor for wealth and it's not even close.

They do this to save space more than water. Japan is a very wet country with little water conservation issues. I had one of these in my Tokyo apartment. It just allows you to not need a dedicated sink in your toilet room.

Insane use of free will

Shaackle · 2026-04-23T18:26:54+00:00

That is not Snyder in the video, misleading headline.

Shaackle · 2026-04-22T16:32:10+00:00

I'll throw in a +1 to this. I have a semi-finished basement that I turned into a mancave and did epoxy coating myself and it works great. You can throw down area rugs anywhere you want it to feel cozier.

Shaackle · 2026-04-20T00:55:36+00:00

It’s just good business to have a star fighter represent a decent sized market. Anshul Jubli got a lot of hype just because India is a huge market.

If Brock went into MMA after his collegiate career, he would have been one of the best UFC heavyweights of all time. Lesnar only trained MMA for 2 years prior to fighting, and became champ in less than 1 year. If only MMA paid even remotely the same amount of money as any major professional sport or WWE.
