FRANK SHAMROCK IS BACK!!!

"Frank Shamrock will not fight in the UFC because he demands Video rights to his fights. He has to own the footage of his fight. A LA Dana Paying Frank Royalties to show the fight on UFC unleashed later on.... LOL "

Dont find whats funny...sounds smart to me...

"IF" he still wants to fight he will have to give in some ways....Zuffa will never give him the rights to his fights....then again, that's a big "IF"

considering the last names of both these fighters they should do well ticket wise imo,gracie vs shamrock

Doubt this will happen. They've announced this fight numerous times only to have it cancelled.

i'm not exited yet.

Good point, you may indeed be right. But the current story is that Frank signed with Pride and is legally bound to honor the fight with Gracie before he fights anywhere else.

I'm not sure how big of a selling point Gracie vs. Shamrock is. There were several events in the mid 90's that tried selling the Gracie name, and they folded. WCC, MARS, Extreme Fighting. Pancrase tried making a breakthrough around that time too, using Ken Shamrock. They drew horrible PPV buys and haven't shown anything here since.

Royce Gracie is likely still a big draw here. I'm not sure how big of a draw the others are.

Certainly not as big as Liddell or Couture, or even Forrest, Bonnar, Hughes, and Franklin.

This fight will Happen at the Battleship promotion the same day there is peace in the middle east.

"Sounds like a totally unreasonable demand. Name one professional athlete who has the rights to their athletic event. Boxing? Nobody. Tennis? No. Golf? No. Football? No. Baseball? No. NBA? Nobody. It's ridiculous."

and thats unreasonable because nobody has asked or becuase someone has been beaten to that demand by contract???

lol@fastrack

they have been talking about this for like 3 years

Is he fighting at Battleship or Rumble Zone?

DO NOT CARE, NEXT THREAD

seriously I could give a shit at this point. He cried wolf and MMA has long sinced passed that point.

ttt for the truth!

Frank has a boner to fight a grace and to fight sakuraba. Has had one for a looooooong time. Sure they've been delayed a zillion times but they'll both probably happen. It sounds like money issues have been delaying the Caesar fight so I don't think either is pussing out.
