IMO TFN is a much needed information source for the fight world right now. If they can educate the average sports fan on the dofferent belts and titles in boxing, different wrestling shows and players involved, IFL, K1, UFC and the rest will make programing the news channel portion easy and educational. NASCAR exploded when ESPN started educating viewers about the sport. I think MMA needs a TFN type information highway for its fans to stay plugged in..
That's why I think TFN will be huge and fill a void as the different sports grow.... JMO of course...
Its exciting with all of the things that could happen... There are so many players that could come in here rock the world of TFN...
I think when it happens things will happen quick!
Just curious to see what happens next..
Guess we'll see in time..
If ruport murdock sees dollar signs in it, it will happen...
I think both will happen in 07. Just a matter of which will happen first..
I feel a small run coming but I don't believe it will be an explosion... Just a few uts...
Good point Wyatt. However, do you think TFN doesn't have a great deal of money coming in from being all across Canada?
Plus their PPV cash from the past year?
I imagine that whatever operation brings them in will help with promotion. The influx of ad revenue from the outset will be enough to carry it for a while.
I think the demos and hype surrounding this sport will be enough to make advertisers jump onboard from day one. This sport is growing everyday. The low guy on the totem pole at any ad agency could sell ads for this to come to the US!
I won't count TW out since they have been working on a deal with TW for months now... but I agree with you that DirectTV and Murdock have the edge.
I still have a hunch that Mark Cuban will have something to do with this. There is too much money on the table to be made for him to walk away from it. IMO of course...
Interesting find this evening...
What do you all think about this on Craig's list?

Awesome.. and so true....
No Edd.. You own that title.. along with several others...
BKMP is looking great depending on how you look at it... But I think everyone knows where you are coming from..
Have a great day..
Jan 3rd.. Just went for a walk in a tank top and shorts and then swam laps in the pool. Oh yea.. Got sunburned while fishing in the back yard before that...Caught 4 bass though!
80+ all day. Burning up that A/C. I need for BKMP to hit so I can travel to a cooler climate! Gotta take a pass on the NW.. I'm praying for those people! Can't handle that snow!
GO BKMP!
Sorry you feel that way pal. We've been here before... Look at it like an elevator... Goes up and down.. Its done that several times... Now all we can do is ride it to the top floor! Are you scared of heights???
Hunter... I surely can understand your disappointment.. However, IMO, there was a hostile takeover in the works and Sandy and Mike needed to buy themselves some time to figure out how to defend themselves.
Of course you have every right to be pissed at the world if you bought in just to get the divvy. I would be pissed off too if I bought at high prices knowing this stocks history.. However, keep your chin up pal.. Good things are on the horizon and you will get your money back and then some...
and if they get the divvy right, that's just a bonus.. GLTY
OT response:
Whats up Bessie!
I think Nick had one real season to accomplish what he has needed to..
Last year he though he'd have better personnel than he did (Ricky) and the season was a fiasco.
This year started off really bad but picked up speed towards the end. I'd like to give him one more year (since there is no one better available that I know of) besides.. bring in someone else and its an excuse to flush another season down the toilet! The players like him and believe he can do the job. To me, that's important. I think he's a jerk but that's just me..
40 mil for 10 years is tough to pass up... Might be real easy to walk away with that on the table.. A bird in the hand.....
Sort of like owning BKMP... Can't sell when you know such great things are on the horizon!
Guess like BKMP, only time will tell!
Thanks TB...
TD, I think the mods go out of their way to keep opposite views posted. Hell, I got flagged for telling you I thought you were being negative!
The mods on this board have a very Thankless job. I'll be the first to admit it.
However, like I've said before... Everyone is entitled to their opinions... the mods should let it go until the poster starts looking for a fight and doesn't let it go...
I've gotten myself on trouble here for comparing the mods to communists because of censorship... as a journalist and an American I have a serious problem with any type of Free Speech blockage... However, as Matt and his crew are quick to point out.. Its his board and his rules. either play by them or be kicked out. This board is not America. Its Matt's world. Take it up with him if you have a problem. Of course you have the right idea... At least you aren't an idiot like me who pays money to be censored!
Either way, this community of BKMPers is a great community of friends. I have no problem with people who ask questions and try to provide value to the room. The negative opinions make us look at what we have in a different light. However, too many negatives that aren't proven false is harmful to the stock and we as stockholders have a right to defend it as vigorously as those who bash it.
or as little as we are allowed by mgt.
Guess it all depends on who reads it when and what mood they are in... its like everything else... its subjective!!! A little power goes a long way... wars start like that!
Have a good one my friend..
was it one of mine YOLO?
I have no control over the intelligent part - you get whatch get and you don't get upset...
but I always try to be fair and balanced. Must have been a former job I had!
Have a great day!
Just seems you are the negative voice and I don't like negativity in my life.. Esp. when they have already proven themselves.. That's all.
Cool. You aren't bashing... Let's all go make some money!
Have a great night!
Turn on the tv, or point your browser at www.TheFightNetwork.com and you will see what we are invested in. If you would have pulled the trigger on that 100 grand investment, you would have made out quite nicely when we hit .0014! Sorry you didn't? Had you made 700 grand would you really be wondering about a website or returned phone calls? I think not!
Don't quite know what your agenda is here, but you won't change our minds. I have had personal contact with Sandy and I am happy with where this company is headed. Just because he didn't return your phone calls doesn't mean the company is a bad investment! I've made moeny off the company already and will do so again in the future. So will ever shareholder on record today. Just a matter of time.
Hunter, sell me what you have at .0002 and I'll pay your sale costs and then you can be on your way.
The divvy was done for a specific reason. Sorry you can't see that, or don't want to.... either way... I'll pay the costs, just let me know how you want to go about it.
TD, I understand your point and you have every right to be antsy because this hasn't moved.
However, we were told in many different ways that things are moving in the direction we want them to. So, what good is bitching going to do now? We were told Early 2007. I don't think that meant, Jan 1 and start bitching Jan 2!
Give them a little time to get things moving in 2007 before you throw in the towel.
SW,MG, Pr's and even Randy Cotoure all say the same thing... 2007 will be the year TFN will spread across the US! So, why upset the applecart when we all know that early 2007 is just getting here?
That is the general consensus and why we haven't been listening to anyone who doesn't have a decent argument! All you have to do is look at the runs we had in 2006, what TFN has accomplished in Canada and what BKMP now holds compared to this time last year and you should be willing to wait a few more months before you bash the stock.
Feel free to make any argument you want, we've heard them all... You can't argue with the facts of what this company has done in the past 13 months!
So, wait with us and you will be rewarded!
GLTY
Not a bad idea. I read your response to someone else who didn't approve of your bashing of SeaBee and felt your remorse was fake so I had to chime in...
Whatever.. its over and done with...
We'll see what SeaBee has to say when she logs on.. We'll go on from there...
Enjoy your lurking..
If you have been aboard for some time now, then you should know that SeaBee would never ever intentionally hurt a fly.. Why would you bash her like that? I just don't understand? She is an angel and always trying her best to be a great help to this board... oh well... you are right about one thing... this will be our year!
Did we ask for a savior? You just show up on this board after a lot of us have been posting here for a year and act like you are the Second Coming! Most people hang out on a board for a few days and get to know the posters before going off on someone... Do you honestly think you are the only one who has lived in Pennyland before? Kind of insulting to the rest of us dontcha think? We are well aware of what we are invested in... We have riden this elevator up and down a few times in the past year and know damn well what a hidden gem we have. That's why we get so upset when people that are new to our board come in here and think they are doing us such a grand service by telling us to contain our excitement! We know what we have and because of that we are very damn excited about it. If you don't like it, that's fine... just be ready to feel the wrath when you start telling regular posters how to act! We love her and what she adds to our board and will not stand by and let you demoralize her or anyone else because they are excited about the investment they have made. They have made the investment already so you are too late to help anyway right?? Let her enjoy herself... If she asks for your advice, THEN you can give it to her... or us... but I don't recall anyone asking to be saved!
So.. having said that.... welcome to our board and we hope you are very successful with BKMP. By the way Wyatt... do you even own BKMP? Just curious..
I'm glad this isn't your first rodeo.. However, no one asked for you to come in here and slam regulars. I'm not the one you need to apologize to... However, I will accept the apology presented and move on. It's a new year and every one has a clean slate... TFN and the rest of the companies we we hold will do fantastic in this coming year. Climb aboard for the ride of your life!
Cheers to you my friend.. Have a great New Year and stay safe on that business trip. Won't have to do that crap much longer unless you want to! See you soon!
Trust me... My New Year started of just fine. Thanks for the congrats..
I'm not into driving on rookie night... my kids are out of town and my wife and I had already "celebrated" the new year or the end of 06... not quite sure on that... However, there is no doubt in my mind that 07 is going to change the lives of the people invested in this company.
Its just a matter of time now..
I hope 07 helps you get everything you want out of life...
It sure is gonna be an interesting year.
I'm starting off the year working on a book with one of the best photographers in the world. Its going to be awesome!
After that, anything can happen!
GLTY my friend and to all my friends...
The clock is ticking!
ya snooze, ya lose! get the next one!
hope you had a great night!
Happy New Year everyone!
Wyatt Earp:
Who the hell are you to come on to our board and start blasting long time posters! Take a hike will you! We have been doing just fine here without you! How dare you come in here and tell anyone what to do! I do know SeaBee personally and you have gone way overboard by telling her or anyone how to act! If you don't like it, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!
We have been doing just fine on this board without you and will do just fine when you are gone!
We asked her to post about her Vegas vacation and to give us updates! Everyone on this board (with a few exceptions) are very much looking forward to a great 07 because of what this company has accomplished in the past year!
If you get scared by the "Hoopla" the by all means, take a hike. We don't need you to ride in and save the day! We don't give a rat's ass what happened on another board years ago! She's not telling you to buy the stock, she is doing nothing but get excited about her investment and her vacation and is sharing that excitement. How dare you? She doesn't have to prove anything to you or anyone else! If you want proof, you do your DD and research her posts! We didn't ask for your opinion and frankly, if you are too lazy to do DD before you tell someone how to behave, we don't want to hear your opinion!
You don't know her well enough to know your little offhanded comments probably ruined her whole vacation and made her cry! She is a wonderful person and is really excited about being at the UFC 66 fights and the excitement that can bring to this stock!
In the future, please read some of the posts on a board before you blast someone! At the very LEAST you owe her an apology!
Other than that, to all my friends on this board,
our time is coming
TFN was promoting WE ARE MARSHALL by runnung the ads and giving away tickets.
Hope that answers your questions.
Have a great night.
all that and she can shoot!!! I may have found my dream girl! Does she like older men??? Guess we'll have some fun in Canada huh? Looking forward to it! Ain't too sure I can shoot a deer! The "What should I wear" segment of My Cousin Vinny comes to mind! Guess when we make enough money here we can do a bunch of things we don't usually do huh?
Have a good one... I am off to bed!
agreed... with all of the rule changes and board changes 07 will sure be interesting. However, most companies are financed on a dream... BKMP has a marketable product and will do fantatstic here in the states.
It just has to get here and we will all be very very happy.
GLTY...
That is your call...That's what makes this so much fun! and so exciting! Just keep enough so we can get to Canada and back!
You just be ready when the time comes! Its only a matter of time! Be ready! Our hunting trip is gonna be a blast!
Don't know if I wannna be around AUDad with a gun when his daughter was a NASCAR girl! :)
Ok, I'll take my chances!
Can't wait! BKMP will rock in 2007!
Yes, if no pr next week we will get them. If not, that's not really a bad thing either.. But I do believe they will be filled! All depends on when Sandy makes the announcement! If there is one to be made!
Thank you my friend. I'll pay ya that $50 the next time I see ya!
Hope all is well.
Glad to see someone knows what I am all about.
I wrote him back an even longer post than his... don't fall asleep. Hopefully he will understand where I am coming from.
If not, oh well.
My friends know me well enough to know where I am headed!
Vegas 07 baby... Load up those .0002's... My orders are already in! I have 10 grand on the table. We'll see how fast they get filled on Wednesday!
Have a great weekend!
is that good or bad?
I must say, you've been pretty well behaved lately! Must say, I'm glad I took you off iggy!
Hope all is well with you.
Sorry about the long post... Had to explain my position... Hate being accused of being a pumper!
Have a great weekend!
I'm in! All of us together will be a hoot! Your last names aren't Chaney right? Ok then... We will do it and I will bring a camera (duh!) and post for all to see how we do!
I shoot a tin of NASCAR... Can't wait for Daytona!
Can't wait to hunt in Canada eh???
Stock, spend all the time you can with your dad.. Hopefully he can come along with us! That is my New year's wish!
Maybe I'll stop by NC and drag my old man out of the mountains.. Sounds like a party!
He's invested in BKMP too! Just hope it hits before he's too old to enjoy it!
Gonna have a party!
Talk to you soon!
PS.. whats wrong with being a redneck? I built a target range in Loxahatchee.... Can't get much more redneck than that!
I guess it all depends on how you look at the game. And that is what this is.. A game. You gamble in Vegas or at the Hard Rock and it is called a game... This is no different. If you can play all night on House Money and be smart enough to walk away with some of it in your pocket, the you had a successful night.
Why is this any different? I don't know how you look at it, but I am not here to help you, fellow investors or the company. I am here for me and my family. Every dollar I have invested I consider an employee. If I don't get that employee to work for me, I am not doing my job running the company. Well, I flipped this several times so I could make some money, and play on their shares. In fact, I doubled my position, averaged down to .0002 and still put enough money in the bank to pay for my H-2. Who's fooling who? I don't do this professionally. I believe in this stock because I believe in the concept. I challenge you to go back and read any post of mine. I call it like I see it. Being in broadcasting for ten years taught me to lay it out as I see it and let people make their own decisions.
You are new posting to this board from what I see. You came in here all full of piss and vinegar and that doesn't sit well with me.
I challenge anyone who comes in here bitching to tell me exactly what their issues are with this company and then we have a debate over the known facts.
If you go along those lines, BKMP and what it has accomplished over the past year will win every time.
Anyone can find flaws in any company if they look hard enough. The question you have to ask yourself is this: Can I do it better? If so, go out and start your own company and see if you can do any better than Sandy and Mike have in the past year. We'll all pick your management style apart every day and second guess EVERY decision you make and we'll email you 100 times a week and demand that you repeatedly answer questions you have answered several times already.....
The numbers haven't changed since I invested.. 13.4 is 13.4... I can live with that. Maybe he will buy back more, maybe he won't.
If TFN gets a US carrier or one overseas, the pps will rise. They do have some issues to work out with the divvy. Call it a poison pill or whatever you want... I think someone tried to buy the company and force Sandy and Mike out... so they bought themselves some time with that divvy...
Now it is time to rock and roll.
Any rational person that looks at what TFN has done in the past year can't help but realize what they could do with another year.... No one ever said it was a get rich quick deal... no matter how bad they want it to be...
It will happen. Also, I think you are wrong about not putting back in what they took out! I know quite a few on this board who are reinvesting what they made on the rides up... They will be reinvesting now that the price is back where we started last time.
My problem with you is that you came in here and started acting as if you know everything there is to know about BKMP.. You give no one credit... you act as if you know it all and we are all idiots. I take offense to that. Especially since I'm playing on house money. My friends also hate people who think they are doing us a favor by telling us what a POS we are invested in because they had a few bad investments and now they know better than everyone else.
I've worked for ESPN and know what that little network has accomplished and see no reason why TFN can't be successful given the right amount of time to be cultivated.... one year does not a global network make...
It will happen! Nows the time to get in while you can..
Once the US deal hits you won't see double zeros anymore... let alone triple....
I have no hidden motives. I want TFN in the US so bad I can taste it. I want this network to be successful because it has the power to change the lives of a lot of people... I like being a part of that...
I play the game the way it is played all over the world. If you don't like the game, don't play it. However, you should take caution when you criticize others who play the game to win. I am not here to support the company. If the company is worth anything, what I do or don't do shouldn't matter. I am not here to work together with the company... That is not my job. My job is to make money and use that money to make more money. Anyone who says they are here for any other reason is fooling themselves.
Hope that gives you a better idea where I am coming from.
I wish you well too.
You are most welcome my friend.
I must say even though I had to shoot 3 pro sports in two days, it was still an incredible Christmas.
Even with the inlaws here, the holiday was a huge success.
It warms my heart that you had such a great Christmas. The sign of great things to come!
Can't wait for the fun to begin!
