Mr Ayre may have money, but he is just playing at being an MMA promoter for shits and giggles. He may be able to afford to lose boatloads of money on Bodogfight since it seems to be more or less his hobby, but like Vince McMahon, Calvin Ayre seems to only be able to do one thing well – all of his other buisness endevours apart from online gambling have failed miserably.

I think that Dana was right when he said that most of these latecomers to promoting MMA really do not understand what it takes to market the sport effectively.

IÂ´d be very surprised if Bodogfight ever becomes anything other than a cult phenomenon in the MMA world. But that doesnÂ´t have to be a bad thing.

“He cant be making that much money off of a bunch of B abd C list fighters.”

Ummm…. B and C list fighters like Lindland and Fedor?

lol… he is just getting started. We’ll see where they end up.

Alavarez Vs. Lee:
Alvarez has a very good record at 10-1, but no notable wins. Doesn’t mean he’s not as good as the record shows it just means that we cant know for sure until he fights a name.

Lee has an average record and has beaten average opponents.

Like I said, this main event is nothing to brag about.

Love Fedor and he did have one fight with Bodog, but he does not officially fight for Bodog. I’m talking about the main event that this guy is talking trash about being a great event.

I’m all for someone challenging the UFC because they are getting really cocky and dont pay the majority of their fighters well, and dont allow outside sponsorships. But this is like playing poker with a bluff and then showing the other guy that you dont have shit.

If it was Fedor fighting Linland like last time, that would be a different story…talk all of the shit you want when you get that fight.

I think it’s hilarious. ‘Bout time someone took Dana on at is own game, and Ayre’s online gaming fortune means he has the financial jam to back it up. Realwun – I don’t understand you comment about a “real” fight card. Fedor isn’t chop liver. Not like UFC 71 or 72 were that great of cards top to bottom. Instead of hating on Bodog, I think any MMA fan who cares about the sport should hope they succeed. It’s better for the fans, the fighters and the sport to have more the one promotion with a monopoly a la UFC.

Wow, I guess this guy didn’t make his money by being a good trash talker. I’m sure he thought it was cleaver, but to the rest of us, it is just pretty stupid.

My advice to the Bodog Pres. is to get a better fight card to back up your words because, right now, you don’t have any pull.
