We put on a show in December, and didn't have any problems.
I'm sure Gary's going to represent the sport well. Everything he's told me about what he's doing, makes me think he's going to put on a good event.
2005 should be a good year in Indianapolis for MMA. I know Gary's going to be putting on some shows, I'll be putting on some shows, Chad Waggoner's putting on a show outside of Indy in January.
I'm from a boxing background, and it hurts me to say that the boxing is hurting bad around here and has been for awhile. If all of us promoters put on safe, quality shows, then the sport should flourish here.
Thanks Keith. I've heard great things about you. I really look forward to working with you in the future.
Could you forward Chad Waggoner my contact info? I prefer working with people rather than against them. As I mentioned to you before, I want to make sure to schedule our shows so they don't conflict with others. Not to mention the fact that we want to put on a good show, not only for the crowd, but for the fighters too. Getting with some of you more experienced fellows for advice would be a good start.
It is very important to us to gain a good, fair reputation. We want to make sure everyone is matched up evenly. This is best for the fighters safety, not to mention the crowd. So it is very important for us to get as much information (about experience) as possible.
Here is the info we need for potential fighters. Please be as descriptive as possible:
