sorry to hear that bud. Thanks for the advice. Will follow it!
Will get with you when I get in front of the laptop.
LOL! Speaking of that.... Where's my buddy Bud Fox been? Anyone seen or heard from him? Hopefully he will return when this runs!
didn't notice... I was paying attention to the "guns"!
R we running anytime soon? What do your sources tell you?
Hey Barnes... I was hoping that was the case but after I raised that theory the other night I was told tfn and Cuban have nothing to do with each other. It sure would be nice!
this will have to do. I am sitting in a hospital room in western NC waiting for my pops to get his pacemaker. Changing the pic would be a pain in the dupa from my I-phone! Hope this thing moves today! Would be nice! Enjoy the ladies for now. They are worth at least 1/2 cent or more!
what do you wish to see?
let me know and I'll see what I can do.
Want to explain what you mean... not till Friday?
Thanks. I emailed you back the other day.. Did you get it? Feeling better I hope... Let's hope today is the day. I did mess up the Cuban thing.. His press conf. is on the 12th, not the 11th.. It may not have anything to do with us.. maybe it does... Who knows...
guess we'll find out soon enough.. I drove for 14 hours last night so I am going to try and get some sleep..
i should be on in the am.
Good luck everybody.
Night Dad...
Thanks.. That works. Does TFN have a show called Inside MMA? If so, that's TFN... guess we will find out today..
Glad you liked the post Art. Let's hope I'm somewher in the ball park.
Maybe he is the guy who will bring TFN to the US. Maybe that's the tie in with him. If we are not being sold out... which is what everyone is hearing... then we just broadcast on his HDnet and that brings TFN to the US. That works as well.
Gonna be a sleepless nigh in North Carolina for me!
Today could be the day we have been waiting for... Stay on your toes...
i've tried several ways but can not open the page www.hdnet.com am I the only one?
Jack.. You are welcome anytime. I always need someone to help set up the lights and get towels for the girls...
Come on down for the next shoot.
As for the DD.. I just got the PR email and am trying like the rest of the board to put the pieces together.
Let's hope I'm in the ball park because if I am, the .pps with be knocked out of the ball park!
Tomorrow should be a fun day!
Thanks for the kind words.
Come on Wendel... Am I close? Does this have something to do with tomorrow's announcement?
Is this why people with 100 million will be happy?
Throw me a bone dude...
Maybe he will be at the IFL Championships on the 20th at the Hard Rock. I will ask him while shooting that event!
I am just guessing Art... he didn't get as rich as he is being stupid!
Here is a link that SeaBee provided me... http://www.mmatko.com/mark-cuban-attempts-to-sign-fedor-emelianenko-for-hdnets-friday-fight-night/
where Cuban is starting his own Friday Fight venture.
He is expanding his HD network and TFN is in HD correct?
Mark has huge ties with Direct TV and all of the other networks,,,
He knows The fight game is where there is money to be made....
TFN would be a huge feather in his cap and would help establish his credibility in the fight game right off the bat... He could build a fight empire around it - that is already taken shape around the globe.
He could also rival UFC with all of the fight leagues fighting on his network... and he has the money to pull it off. What if he tied his network with BoDog and TFN... UFC would then not have a full Monopoly on the MMA game.
All I know is that all of the cryptic messages everyone was sending had 7 & 11 in them. 7th is the date of the first PR. Everyone is expecting one tomorrow on the 11th.
I'm hearing rumblings of institutional investors trying to get DD on TFN and BKMP - can't confirm it - but it all makes sense... with the housing market in the toilet and the stock market in a roller coaster ride to no where, this would be a very HOT play...
HD is the future... He can step in and buy or partner with an up and coming network that is ripe to be picked... people who want to make money are looking for HOT picks...
This makes sense...
IT may just be a huge bit of wishful thinking on my part, but it doesn't sound that far fetched does it?
Let me know what you think...
OK... everyone is agreement that there is supposed to be a big PR tomorrow right?
Our buddy Wendel knows something is up but won't spill the beans...
The question is... what is up? What is so up that "anyone who owns over 100 Million will ..."?
I find it VERY coincidental that this pr just ended up in my email box... I emailed Mark Cuban several times and we exchanged emails about TFN quite a bit.
Is this just coincidental or do the dots connect?

How are you my friend? I hope all is well.
I can't let myself believe that this will run to .06 because I can't imagine being that rich.
However, I'll be happy with a nice run to .01. Will still make a couple bucks off that.. Averaged in at .00015 on their dime so I will be happy and not greedy!
I have 10 million set to sell at every platform on the way up. .001 .002 .003 .... you get the point.. At .01 I hit my goals for this beast... Wouldn't mind seeing the bid move and those 4 stuck on the ask to move on..
Let's see how far you can lead us into this battle my friend.

The .06???????

Told ya Rich!
I agree Larry. At this point we don't need to line his pockets any more.
Hope something is up but with this pig you never know.
Have a great day.
Rich...
Don't let these guys scare you.. Something is up... There may be a pending deal in the works that could be announced anyday now.
That's what everyone is hoping for anyway.
I do believe we have one decent run left in this pig. Have no idea when that would be... but I believe like you do that when that volume builds, the run is around the corner.
GLTY and welcome.
Thanks for taking care of teh Spartan. That was getting out of control.
Have to be fair to the women on the board so I am mixing in some fighters of a different kind for a bit.
Hope ya don't mind...
This is what its all about right?????
Just hope we can catch the wave before it rolls past. I'm supposed to shoot the IFL Championships next week here at the Hard Rock. The whole MMA game is huge but the surge is dying. TFN in the US could help energize it again but it needs to happen soon.
GLTY
The problem will be when it starts to run everyone and their brother, sister, aunt, uncle and grandma will be dumping as fast as they can killing any hope of a run to .0009.
That would be nice and very profitable for me.
I would love to see pennies, but don't see that happening. .014 - .002 would be just fine. I'm not greedy.
Guess where it ends up isn't up to us...
Trox.. I agree with you.. On the grand scale 60 mil is nothing. However, whenever news is imminent with BKMP the volume picks up. It has been climbing as of late. I didn't say it was enough to influence .PPS but made the observation that it is climbing.
I have no idea what the news is or when it will get delivered. All I can say is that I have been hearing rumbling from many different sources - I hope and pray for everyone who owns BKMP that these rumors pan out and that we can all profit from them.
Guess we'll just have to wait and see.
GLTY
What does this have to do with BKMP?
What does this post have anything to do with BKMP?
Please take it somewhere else. Do the rules not apply to you?
This board is not for conspiracy theories. It's even more insulting to those who died when you put LOL at the end of your message!
Its aggravating and upsetting that you choose to discuss those theories on this board. Please take it somewhere else.
I know something is up... The numbers are up.. What did we trade yesterday??? 60 mil or more... Why would someone buy 60 million useless shares?
They say there was tons of chatter before 9/11 and they didn't act on it. I will never forget that day. No American should.
The chatter is so loud now that this 9/11 could have a much better turnout. It could be another life changing experience.
I'm not predicting anything and hope no one uses what I say to dump any more money into this pig, but the whispers are getting deafening... Hope we are headed in the right direction and not off a cliff... Then again, how much further can we drop..
Special not to SeaBee... Email me cause I can get a hold of you otherwise.... I may be headed that way next week.
Hope ya'll have a wonderful day.
On its way. Hope it gets there.. Its a big file.. I broke out the extra ARTILLARY figured you needed it!
Tomorrow is another day my friend! Hopefully just in time when you need it!
Thanks... Plenty more of those on my hard drive...
Hope it helps...
Sounds like this will be the week huh?
Tired of getting my hopes up!
Lets hope it pays off!
what the heck was that rant all about????
WTF?
Hey Neal.. What happened to your buddy Hunter? Finally went too far huh? Maybe Stockster5 will be next! :)
Hope ya'll have a great weekend!
Hope next week is our week. The volume surge always starts just before the news is announced...
Guess we'll see...
Take a joke and get a life. You take things out of context.
I changed the picture to make you happy.
Feel better?
Doubt it.
That was good Art. Made me laugh! Thanks.
Any doubt he did it?
No doubt in my mind.
What happens when the book sales pass the money he owes the Goldman's? Does he get rest?
Its going to sell HUGE!
I don't do autographs... Its unprofessional... Not that anyone has ever accused me of being professional...
as for the girls, they are the UFC girls and they were not sucking it in!
As far as the Juice, several magazines used the shot so I got paid several times on it. I'm shooting with Danny DeVito tomorrow night.
Let's hope this thing takes off soon so I don't have to keep promoting these spoiled brats..
:)
Oh well... for now I love it and will continue for the fun of it! Money's pretty good too! Gotta love South Beach!
Have a good one my friend.
SD.. I had several emails with him back then. He did say he was investigating it but at that time he had no plans to do business with TFN. Hope he changed his mind. But he was well aware of TFN.
OT: I do Manny.. I just made 5 grand with a picture I took of him at a party... He posed for me and it sold very well when talk of the book started back up...
Think you can handle it???? That will be a FUN night.. week... month... year... hell man, I have 11 hard drives that hold 500 gigs.... and they are all full!
We might go through a couple cases.
Of course we can bring the laptop to the Keys with us and enjoy the barmaids at the same time!!!!!
