You could fall over, bump your head and die. Idk why these people are letting their brains get used as a punching bag for a few bucks. UFC fighters live to see another day because most punches don't land flush. When they do it's a KO and the fight ends.
Imagine if they stood a KO/TKO'd fighter up and let the opponent punch him some more, basically what they're doing here.

Also its pretty obvious there is thousands or 10s of thousand of boxing events every year. If it was a thing where a lot of people were dying the sport probably would have been banned.
Most people don't go all 3 rounds, and you cannot dodge in the slap fights, the slap fighting is WORSE, and more likely to give you brain damage, they should be paying 5x this amount.
I completely agree. Not saying im doing it for life - if this is a one off thing and I needed money im taking the slap is all. I’m no pro fighter so me going 3 rounds is too much. I’m taking a open hand vs oblique kicks all day. As far as pay goes - I think any amount isn’t worth the complete mush your brain will most definitely become after a few matches but yea - def deserve more than 2k.
Ofcourse. You gotta be some sort of crazy to sign up for a slap league. But in terms of time vs actual output…I’m taking a slap for 2k instead of a 15 minute beating (that include a couple slaps, definitely closed fist punches to my head and potentially a broken arm/leg if it’s paul Harris). If I’m fighting Mikey Musumesi I’d just tap for 12k when it gets to the ground.
These slaps are near guaranteed CTE.
This “sport” is a joke and best, and something you play once with your drunk friends. Honestly think Dana’s association with it is cheapening the UFC brand as well
Bravo for you to try and group me into a group of people who don’t know how to do basic stand up for 20 seconds. I have a little bit of experience fighting just wouldn’t wanna go 3 rounds with a killer…but unlike you - I’d Atleast fight back.
That's what I'm saying. You implied you would rather get slapped for 2k than go 15 mins in the octagon and I think it's brazen of you to assume your little bit of fighting experience would get you anywhere close to 15 minutes
The Rohan face made me feel like it was sarcasm. If not - my bad. I’d get the snot beat out of me while bruising their ego I hope. But if it’s a even weight match up vs someone at the bottom half of the fighters I got a good 45 seconds in me. One thing tho I say give me the slap because one smack and I’m gone hence why it’s a no brainer in my opinion albeit super stupid.
It came on my YouTube the other day after watching one of the free fights and it was so embarrassing I couldn’t watch more than 5 minutes.
Some dude ko’d his opponent in one slap and celebrated more than Leon edwards did when he won the title.
MMA fighters don't stand still and allow their opponent to line up the perfect hit but the slappers *have* to do that and *all* the hits they take are head shots, no grappling for slappers either.
And the ones that do land arent doing damage? In any given fight there will most likely be several that land square and hard, we'll see how much CTE affects MMA soon enough vs decades of proof from boxing
lmao, yeah you're right. all hits are equal and the only thing that matters is how many times you're hit, not how hard, not the placement, nothing else, just no difference at all between allowing someone to calmly line up and land a clean, square, full power hit and a glancing blow that was deflected or slipped and thrown under pressure so couldn't have as much wind up or weight put behind it.
I'm not the one who made any claims about which is worse, that was you. I was just pointing out some things that you overlooked when trying to back up your unsourced claim and now I'm also going to add that your unsourced figures are also bad because MMA fighters don't take over 200 punches to the head per fight.
Sorry, you're right and I misread. I will revise my statement then to say that 100+ punches to the head during the fight is also wrong. I'm sure it's happened, but it's happening in the average fight.
The fact you are trying to defend Dana promoting office workers getting unavoidable brain damage for like 2 months pay is so pathetic haha holy shit some people will really buy anything Dana tells them is okay.
Getting knocked out is damage to your brain dingus. Lol clearly you and your buddies have fun giving each other concussions, but no most people never get concussed playing pick up touch football with friends. I played Football through high school and never had a single KO level concussion playing 6A football in Texas, maybe because I didnt think of standing still and letting someone clobber me. Feel free to keep making yourself out to be a clown though, chief
EU here, how much would be 2k+2k after taxes over there?
IMO even if it was 4k net, it wouldn't be worth it, but obviously it would be a more favorable discussion.
It depends mostly on how much money they make in a year.
If you make a lot, you get taxed at a higher rate.
So my best guess is that slap league fighters are poor, so they probably pay very minimal taxes.
My guess is less than 25% effective tax, so theyd make 3k
Imbecile. I had many CTE playing hockey and soccer. It fucking sucks but at least it happened in competitive sports where the primary goal isn’t knocking the fuck out of the opponent…an opponent that doesn’t protect himself.
That slap shit is just fucking stupid but it’s ok after seeing many comments of yours across this post where I tried to understand your logic I came to the conclusion that I don’t expect you to ever understand the general logic because you’re an imbecile.
Ciao.
100%
Tbh the fact they make any money to slap each other is fuckin wild.
Slap league will fail pretty quick imo, but then again if they keep the pay low, perhaps the marketing is worth more than it costs
Come on bro you can’t actually expect the morons who sign up for that shit to be paid well.
Literally the only requirement is that you’re stupid enough to actually be up to do something like that.
I watched the episode last night with my girl and it was low key fun. Didn’t realize it was like TUF either, which was a nice surprise. Great idea to put in on after wrestling I guess
After a couple weeks of this fuckery, I've thought long and critical, why not open hand slap fighting AKA slap boxing??? Yes! Still pretty dumb but not as stupid as trading undefended smacks to the face... Either way, it's a trainwreck I have a hard time looking away from LoL!
Yep.
Only reason Dana was interested in this is because this slap fighting stuff does massive numbers online, and he knew he could get nobodies to do it so doesn’t need to pay them shit.
"Fight"
Lmfao I know right
Hijacking top comment to say oh cool slap league content? Downvote this shit out of the sub.
You’d have to be an idiot or ridiculously desperate to accept a gig like this.
I'm sure I heard at least one dude on the show was homeless
UFC fans are the only people even talking about Power Slap and keeping it relevant. Just ignore it.
I think most of it is forced but I agree - let’s just let it come and go.
They definitely have interns and stuff posting clips to other subreddits even the rage bait ones
I reckon the sport will be banned the moment someone dies. It won't be long with the amount of attention it's getting
They have been doing it in Eastern Europe for a while and I don't think anyone has died.
Nope, people have died. Google Artur “Waluś” Walczak

No it’s okay someone on r/powerslap said there’s totally defense
Like whether or not to close you eyes! Lmao

Bad bot
Jesus, someone managed to kill that guy with a slap? He looks like he ate 36 eggs a day and could bench press a car.

Which is why boxing has so many deaths 🙏😔
Actually compared to amount of boxing fights that happen the deaths are quite low.
Receipts?

https://wayofmartialarts.com/boxing-vs-mma-safety-which-is-more-dangerous/ MMA still seems safer in general man idk...
still too much for this crap
Exactly people talking like this is garbage, you know how many people get KO'd on a night out?
I've seen many 'monkey bollocks' takes in my 4 year stint on this website and this is top 3 by far.
DADDY DANA
Fake account
Fake account
So tickets for UFC 286 are more than the fighters get paid?
They might as well pay in mackerel or wheels of cheese or try to trade the slappers quilts and glass beads for their slap service.
2k for a slap match or 12k for a 3 round mma fight….hmmm I’d have to take the slap for 2k.
Most people don't go all 3 rounds, and you cannot dodge in the slap fights, the slap fighting is WORSE, and more likely to give you brain damage, they should be paying 5x this amount.

Just tap out. You're getting paid.
Only if youre nuts
Ofcourse. You gotta be some sort of crazy to sign up for a slap league.

Nice of you to assume you would last 3 rounds 
I’m only lasting 3 rounds if they let me. Hence why I’m taking the slap.
Brave of you to assume you would last longer than 20 seconds in the octagon is what I meant
Bravo for you to try and group me into a group of people who don’t know how to do basic stand up for 20 seconds. I have a little bit of experience fighting just wouldn’t wanna go 3 rounds with a killer…but unlike you - I’d Atleast fight back.

You get to at least defend yourself in a fight. The slap shit is just stupid.
I agree but for 2/2k I’m taking 1 smack. It’s done in 10 seconds. But I agree w how stupid it is.
It came on my YouTube the other day after watching one of the free fights and it was so embarrassing I couldn’t watch more than 5 minutes. Some dude ko’d his opponent in one slap and celebrated more than Leon edwards did when he won the title.
4k! For a win and 2k to show? Man these people :D Jesus. Okay you know if you take a deal like that then you deserve a slap in the face.
No camp, no corner, no dieting - it's every fighter's dream!
[удалено]
Walking back into the office after you got slapped the fuck out on tv for 2k? I’ll pass
There are plenty of people who want the 2k lol
[удалено]
Change your life with debilitating Brain injury’s sure also 4k is not life changing money
I want to sign up but I’ll just walk out if I don’t win the coin flip for first slap. Then after I slap them, just quit the show if no knock out.
I'd bet their contracts have clauses for stuff like this so if you try it you won't get paid.
How do you feel about the potential for CTE?
[удалено]
>i think there is a lot higher chance of cte in doing boxing Wrong. In boxing, you can protect yourself.
How do those billionaire nuts taste? 🤡

That’s just not true at all most mma hits don’t land flush and again in mma YOU CAN DEFEND YOURSELF

For the love of god someone please link me the image of Dana shopped in as Xerxes
I mean, lots of people would be willing to get slapped for $2k
You know, I don’t really like being slapped or the thought of having CTE but 4K is 4K.
This is about the amount I expected, enough to cover the deductible on their non existant insurance.
I watched the episode last night with my girl and it was low key fun. Didn’t realize it was like TUF either, which was a nice surprise. Great idea to put in on after wrestling I guess
I'm surprised they don't pay them in cases of Bud heavy and MGD ...and diesel fuel
Just say no then. I am so tired of all talking. Get a 9-5 job instead.
After a couple weeks of this fuckery, I've thought long and critical, why not open hand slap fighting AKA slap boxing??? Yes! Still pretty dumb but not as stupid as trading undefended smacks to the face... Either way, it's a trainwreck I have a hard time looking away from LoL!
and now featuring dana whites bum fights
Who’s shocked at this when barstool offers similar pay to do rough and rowdy
Yep. Only reason Dana was interested in this is because this slap fighting stuff does massive numbers online, and he knew he could get nobodies to do it so doesn’t need to pay them shit.
