I’ve heard multiple times people saying how could Craig do this every year and lose $3 million every year. Fact is I could see this easily turning profit within three competitions.
I think that a million is a bit wild. I believe that 100-250k per division winner would be more realistic. It is still a large amount that can be life changing for most competitors. But I like how Craig Jones decides to make chaos happen!
Can you imagine winning 1 million dollars from a BJJ tournament?!
just going over money revenue from ADCC but 11,000 tickets sold, Flograppling money, tiered sponsorships (i think i've counted at least 20+ sponsors) and now events running nationwide. if they couldn't figure out how to pay athletes more than the $200,000 they were breaking off... something is wrong there.
Don’t forget the expense of ADCC trials.
1 Mil winner. Everyone must be jumping ship for a chance at this! Gonna be a wild energy every fight!
And a lot of motivation NOT to tap, should be interesting!
The Olympics are nationally funded programmes please stop comparing it to adcc 😂 its not a good or workable comparison. Show me one country that funds jiu-jitsu and youd have a point
Why not. Nations cover expenses but they don’t compensate the athletes. Only reason to compete is for the prestige / chance to win a medal
Bit too much disrespect for Luke Rockhold I feel.
Craig isn’t getting enough credit for the rule set. The pit is the key to finally making grappling a spectator sport
The pit will be the gold standard after CJI
This was a BSE (Black Swan Event) for ADCC. They were coasting - but those days might now be over. Kudos to ADCC for what they have done to date - but new games are ‘afoot’ - an example of Darwinian forces in action.
The only way for ADCC to go - in ym view - is to connect with the Olympic Committee (even of only for prelim-discussions). Their only option is the play the prestige card - exemplified by the Olympic Gold Medal. Perhaps they could do it - if I were them, I’d have the talks in motion already. They would keep the prestige element in play - even if only for the short term … giving them time o re-invent.
I agree, that stacking a few million dollars away, is difficult for most athletes, even the leading cadre of athletes. Some seminars and a few DVD sales isn’t going to cut it. In my own case, I had an early start and it took several thousand seminars to get to th point and then ‘leverage it with solid investing. It’s tough. So a chance at getting that done in a hard weekend … very, very enticing. It would cut two decades off, even some smart planning.
Interesting times ahead.
Makes sense for Meregali or Big Dan to go after the money since they would be running into Gordon at ADCC anyways
Meregali and Big Dan should go after the money. Perfect excuse to avoid running into Gordon
If this should be the new face of bjj then it is going downhill from here. Screaming for money like childs for their sweets.
Making a mess on a Birthday brothers Celebration only to mommy mad.
The normal crowd and sponsors a disgusted by such childish behvior.
Competing with Adcc would habe been good. Going against it is hurting everyone.
Olympic gold does win money
There probably isnt even 16 real heavyweights in jiujitsu tbf
We need a breakdown of the xanax wrestling
What is Xanax ? I have never heard of that submission?
