Day, week, month... all seem to apply.
Given his track record, that could be NEVER. Accurate and timely PR's aren't exactly his forté...
Yikes, that's NOT what I wanted to hear. So basically, it looks like we're finally finding out what we thought all along lately, we're screwed.
Can't voting rights and ownership percentages be different?
The only "out" I see is the disclaimer that "The percentages refer to voting rights only". Maybe BKMP stills owns X%, just doesn't have voting rights.
That certainly doesn't look good...
I was kinda thinking the same thing neal...
We really need to get an update of what exactly it is that BKMP is "holding". This is beyond ridiculous now...
So webby, "now" has changed back to "soon" again? I can't keep up!
Actually art, your posts don't have direct links to other sites (which is spam in the TOU) and web's post last night did contain one. Probably why it was deleted.
Looks like he wrote the wrong prescription...
Web posted around 10:40 last night and it's gone. I think that's what artfink is talking about. It was relatively on topic (as far as a webprods post goes)...
FWIW Web posted here less than 2 hrs. ago. Just wondering what that says about your DD work...
Well said, and I agree 110%. It's one of the main reasons I didn't rejoin Ihub and don't get involved here anymore.
NurseBigDaddy gave BKMP the wrong medication...
And when it will happen? Is "VERY soon" days, weeks, months, or yet more years away from reality?
You ain't kidding... this stock has single-handedly turned me into an alcoholic, no joke.
What are you thinking? This week, next week, next month?

And EliteXC "exclusively" on TFN "live" November 10th. Last I checked, EliteXC was on Shotime, so something appears to be up there as well...
Art, do you have any handle on what timeframe "about ready" is?
Randy vs. Dana... this is gonna end up getting ugly.
http://sports.aol.com/fanhouse/2007/10/12/ufc-president-dana-white-on-randy-couture-his-scumbag-holl...
Web, if i'm correct (and it is a far-fetched assumption), I believe we have seen PR 1 & 2 of the 6 you mentioned (although we don't realize it yet)!
What do you think? Am I crazy?
They took that banner down fast...
Care to elaborate on that thought? Do you think he will sign with M-1 (maybe it's Mark Cuban who bought M-1), and maybe TFN is tied in with Cuban as well?
I wonder if Randy will sign with the new "undisclosed American entertainment-related company" that bought M-1...
FEDOR COMMITS TO M-1
PRIDE Heavyweight Champion To Headline First Show Under New Ownership
By Loretta Hunt (loretta@thefightnetwork.com)
PRIDE heavyweight champion Fedor Emelianenko has committed exclusively to the new ownership of M-1 Mix-Fight Championship, which has been purchased outright by an undisclosed American entertainment-related company, according to a source close to the deal who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Established in 1997, the St. Petersburg-based M-1 held over 30 events under the ownership of Russian businessman Vadim Finkelstein, also the long-time manager of the much-sought-after Emelianenko. Finkelstein is also the proprietor of the Red Devil Sports Club, a facility and team that houses numerous Russian fighters, including PRIDE veteran Roman Zentsov and former UFC middleweight Andrei Semenov.
The source confirmed the new ownership has infused a substantial amount of capital into the organization. Finkelstein and others will stay on to assist in running the company, which will continue to promote under a variation of the M-1 name. The new M-1 will take more of a global stance, and Emelianenko (26-1) will headline its inaugural event as early as January or February, possibly in the U.S., the source said.
On March 27, Ultimate Fighting Championship majority owners Lorenzo and Frank Fertitta bought the assets of PRIDE, only to discover Emelianenko had previously signed a non-exclusive, non-transferable contract with its former owners, Dream Stage Entertainment.
As late as September, UFC president Dana White had insisted a deal with Emelianenko was imminent, though repeated negotiations between Finkelstein, colleague Apy Echteld and the Las Vegas outlet could not produce an agreement to bring the Stary Oskol resident to the famed Octagon. A major point of contention was White’s insistence Emelianenko sign an exclusive contract with the American promotion, which would exclude Emelianenko’s participation in Sambo competitions. Emelianenko is a three-time World Combat Sambo champion and ambassador for the sport in his homeland.
Undefeated in 24 fights (including one no contest), Emelianenko is widely received as the world’s top pound-for-pound fighter. The 31-year-old former Army firefighter rose to the top of PRIDE’s ranks by besting standouts like Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira (30-4-1) and Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic (22-6-2). Emelianenko submitted 2000 Olympic Greco-Roman silver medallist Matt Lindland (20-5) at Bodog Fight “Clash of the Nations” on April 14 in St. Petersburg, Russia. He has not competed since.
A formal announcement of the purchase, as well as plans for the new organization’s first event, is expected by the end of this month.
BNB, so the implied PR from this post is now on hold? The change in strategy was announced 9/7, yet on 9/14 you thought there might be a PR in the works...
Just curious if you feel we're on the same path, or if things have changed.
TIA
So web, when do the fireworks start? Or have we been sidetracked yet again...
It would be nice to have some legitimate excitement around here again. With all the good that TFN is doing, you think it would spill over to BKMP at some point...
Disappointing as usual.
Just curious, but what happened to "Joost wait and see..."? Is the Joost launch now an irrelevant event?
TIA
FWIW, Joost launched to the public today...
http://www.pcpro.co.uk/news/126721/joost-opens-to-the-public.html
So much for "Joost wait and see"...
Having been here for 1.5+ years now, I remember them (and the hype) well.
$750 paid by BKMP for EACH interview.
2 Traders Nation interviews THIS year...
Here's a link to the traders nation disclaimer page, do a search (or read) TWO BKMP interviews, one on 6/26, the other on 4/24.
http://www.tradersnation.com/disclaimer.shtml
Impressive list of people here:
Yeah, but it was 6,7,11 and maybe 9, so we might need to consider a PR on Febtember 33rd...
TFN website now has Coors Light as a sponsor!
Yes, very cocky. He was laughing and talking all thru the second round. My brother and I got the feeling he knew by then he could take him whenever he wanted.
One noticable difference between UFC and Elite was the refs. The Elite ref sucked. Never should have let the fight go as far as it did, and in fact, I read a report that Matt Hughes (who was in Lawler's corner that night) went straight to the ref and was blasting him for not ending it earlier.
On an MMA note, did any watch Lawler the other night? He's a total animal. I'd put him up against anyone in the UFC. He would kill them.
