Fighters: Learn how to sell your fights! Part 1

Fighters: Learn how to sell your fights! Part 1


By Robert Elmore: I can sit all day and night and talk about how boxing is dying and promoters are ruining the sport. But I won’t. I still watch boxing to this day and try to check out the new prospects when I get a chance. There are two major reasons why some have lost interest in boxing. One, half of the champions are not Americans; which I will touch more on in part two. And two and this is a big one to me; the fighters don’t know how to market themselves to get big fights and pay days.


Jack Johnson was a very flamboyant man whose lifestyle, cockiness, and dating white women made him a marked man. He lived in an era where black men were not allowed to fight for the title and he longed for a shot. So what did he do? He put together a two year campaign to fight with champion Tommy Burns. For two years, Johnson chased Burns and taunted him until finally the Canadian gave in. The end result: The fight drew 20,000 spectators, and Johnson won by T.K.O. Now Johnson had a fire blazing. He didn’t have to market himself anymore. He got the public to do it for him. After this fight, promoters began looking for the great white hope to take Johnson down. It would take seven years before that great white hope ended a seven year reign. What probably threw more logs on the fire was the fact that Johnson refused to face other black fighters. He didn’t want them stealing his glory. Each bout drew fans wanting to see him lose. Some wanted to see him lose because of his lifestyle outside the ring and other half wanted to see him lose because of his skill inside the ring. Either way, his fights sold.

The Best MMA Supplement
Posted in The MMA Diet



I’m asked on a continual basis one of the following generic questions: What’s the best thing I can do to lose weight? How can I burn fat? I want to put on a little bit of muscle, how do I do that?


Shortly following my first question (what do you eat?) I’ve realized that my FIRST suggestion is almost always the same…eat more protein.

Protein is the Answer

For all those questions above, the answer could easily be to just consume more protein. Sure it’s slightly more complicated than that, but if there was only one thing I could suggest to everyone who asks me those questions…that would be my response....

Holyfield vs Williams

Holyfield-Williams no decision

By Brady Crytzer at ringside

Legendary heavyweight world champion Evander “The Real Deal” Holyfield (43-10-2, 28 KOs) and Sherman “Tank” Williams (34-11, 19 KOs) ended in a three round no-contest on Saturday night at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia. The 48-year-old Holyfield was cut over the left eye in round two by an unintentional headbutt and rocked by a Williams right hand in round three. After the round Evander said he couldn’t see and the bout was declared a no contest. The cut could very well jeopardize Evander’s scheduled March 5 fight against Brian Nielsen in Copenhagen, Denmark.

In the co-feature, former heavyweight title challenger Kevin “Kingpin” Johnson (24-1-1, 10 KOs), who took the bout on short notice, won an eight round unanimous decision over 300lb, seven-footer Julius Long (15-15, 13 KOs). Johnson dropped Long twice in round eight. Scores were 79-71 on all cards.

Former heavyweight title challenger Monte Barrett (34-9-2, 20 KOs) and journeyman Charles Davis (19-21-3, 4 KOs) fought to an eight round majority draw. Scores were 77-75 Davis, 76-76, 76-76.

In an impressive display of brute power Cedric “The Boz” Boswell (32-1, 25 KOs) continued to roll stopping Dominique “Diamond” Alexander (19-10, 9 KOs) in the second round after knocking down his opponent three times with hard left hooks to the body.

Middleweight Willie Fortune (10-0, 5 KOs) won an eight round split decision over Donatas Bondoravas (10-2-1, 3 KOs). Scores were 77-75, 77-75 for Fortune, 77-75 Bondoravas. Fortune was almost stopped midway through the fight, but recovered well..

Unbeaten middleweight Domonique Dolton (10-0, 7 KOs) took a one-sided eight round unanimous decision over veteran Marcos Primera (20-23-2, 13 KOs). Scores were 80-72 on all cards.

Junior welterweight Miguel Gonzalez (13-2, 12 KOs) scored a third round KO over Ramon Guevara (9-21-2, 6 KOs). The bout was stopped due to the three knockdown rule.

Benefits of Cardio Interval Training

3D Boxing Gloves CZ Micro Pave Iced Out Pendant 3D Boxing Gloves CZ Micro Pave Iced Out Pendant

Benefits of Cardio Interval Training

Among the highest risk factors are male sex, age over 35, cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, high levels of certain blood fats, and a family history of cardiovascular disorders.

Other researchers have added to this list another risk factor: the compulsive, hard-driving, highly anxious personality. The greater the number of severity, the greater the person's overall risk.

These threats to the heart can be divided into two main categories: those beyond individual control, such as age, sex, and heredity, and those that can be controlled, avoided, or even eliminated. Among those in the second category are what cardiologists call "the triple threat." These are the high blood pressure, cigarette smoking, and high cholesterol levels in the blood.

If you smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, your risk of having a heart attack is twice that of a nonsmoker. If you smoke, have hypertension, and eat a diet high in fats without any exercise at all, your risk is five times greater than normal.

The Healthy Heart

If these risk factors endanger the heart's health, what enhances its well-being and improves its odds of working long and well?



Obviously, quitting cigarettes and eating a low-fat diet will help. The next best thing you can do for your heart's sake is to give it what it needs: regular exercise or a complete cardio interval training.

The heart is a muscle, or, more accurately, a group or "package" of muscles, similar in many ways to the muscles of the arms and legs. And just as exercise strengthens and improves limb muscles, it enhances the health of the heart muscles as well.

Since World War II, several large-scale statistical studies have evaluated the relationship between physical activity and cardiovascular disease. One well-known survey compared 31,000 drivers and conductors of some bus companies. The more sedentary drivers had a significantly higher rate of heart disease than the conductors, who walked around the buses and climbed stairs to the upper level.

The why and how behind these statistics were bet explained by classic experiments with dogs whose coronary arteries were surgically narrowed to resemble those of humans with arteriosclerosis. Dogs who were exercised were had much better blood flow than those kept inactive.

The exercise seemed to stimulate the development of new connections between the impaired and the nearly normal blood vessels, so exercised dogs had a better blood supply to all the muscle tissue of the heart. The human heart reacts in the same way to provide blood to the portion that was damaged by the heart attack.

To enable the damaged heart muscle to heal, the heart relies on new small blood vessels for what is called collateral circulation. These new branches on the arterial tress can develop long before a heart attack - and can prevent a heart attack if the new network takes on enough of the function of the narrowed vessels.

With all these facts, it is now boiled down to a single question: What should be done in order to prevent such dilemmas?

Some studies showed that moderate exercise several times a week is more effective in building up these auxiliary pathways than extremely vigorous exercise done twice often.

The general rule is that exercise helps reduce the risk of harm to the heart. Some researches further attested the link between exercise and healthy heart based from the findings that the non-exercisers had a 49% greater risk of heart attack than the other people included in the study. The study attributed a third of that risk to sedentary lifestyle alone.

Hence, with employing the cardio interval training, you can absolutely expect positive results not only on areas that concerns your cardiovascular system but on the overall status of your health as well.

This particular activity that is definitely good for the heart is a cycle of "repeated segments" that is of intense nature. In this process, there is an interchange periods of recuperation. It can both be comprehensive activity and moderate motion.

Consequently, the benefits of merely engaging into this kind of activity can bring you more results that you have ever expected. These are:


1. The threats of heart attack are lessened, if not eliminated

2. Enhanced heart task

3. Increase metabolism, increase the chance of burning calories, therefore, assist you in losing weight

4. Improves lung capacity

5. Helps lessen or eliminate the cases of stress

Indeed, cardio interval training is the modern way of creating a healthy, happy heart and body.

Amazing Kettlebell Workout Produces Superior Results

With Russian kettlebells you can develop superior gains over traditional workout methods and save lots of space in your home.

The man who teaches Russian Kettlebell training is Pavel Tsatsouline. He is a former Spetznaz trainer. For those who may not know, Spetznaz is the Russian equivalent of the CIA or special forces.

As every high-risk agent would wish for, after studying some of Pavel's books you can definitely find out how to have explosive instant power ready at all times.

But, not everyone is a spy; in fact very few of us are. So what benefits does kettlebell training have for the average woman or man?

Kettlebell training can be a great way to lose weight, tone up the body, and stay in shape once you get it there with the added benefits mentioned above.

And not only that, kettlebell workouts may be better for you than weights. In one of his books, Pavel mentions some of the fitness tests that were used to compare kettlebell training to traditional workouts.

The kettlebell trainers seemed to be in much better shape according to Pavel. And Pavel would know - You can see a picture of Pavel on his web site. The guy is well muscled and toned for someone that avoids weight training like the plague.

Speaking of muscle and tone, check out the incredible Ab muscles that Pavel can show you how to develope. Pavel, being an expert in physical training combined with his unique experience and insight is fully qualified to show you all about physical fitness.



Whether you are female or male, Pavel can show you the way to fitness. He has also collected for our benefit, what he believes to be excellent advice in nutrition.

Another thing I think that is interesting about Pavel and his work is that he brings his colorful and interesting Russian personality into play. For example, just think of the title of one of his books, Power to the People.

Me? I find that title humorous, but if I had to explain why I think it's funny, I'm not sure that I could. It might be the underlying but subtle notion that liberation is in order for someone. Come to think of it, I guess liberation is in order.

Pavel wants to show us a better way to fitness and free us from our need to spend an inordinate amount of time in the gym and spend it more wisely and effectively, so that we can have great physical fitness and time to enjoy it as well.

As you can see by glancing at his pictures, Pavel not only knows how to develop an amazing physique but he also knows how to keep himself flexible at the same time.

Maybe now you can understand why I think this man has some answers to fitness that we might not be able to find anywhere else, nor all in one convenient location either.

Best Way to Start a Home Based Business and Realistically Make $500-$5000.

Those that have decided to take the smoother life and work from home have gained the benefits of a quieter and more flexible way of living. Nothing beats doing the things you love first, and working second. Most people think that working from home sacrifices the high paying jobs that you would get in the corporate world. This is far from the truth, many have started home based businesses or even just clerical tasks from the comfort of their desks while watching TV or taking care of the kids, all while still earning a sizable income.


The recent increase in businesses as well as the ability to track, make payments and interact over the internet has allowed many companies to outsource a lot of their work to regular people just like you and I right from the comfort of our own homes. Since there is no need to pay for an expensive office building with high monthly rents, these businesses can more than afford to pay at home workers to do everyday tasks. In most cases these are tasks that are usually done in the office with a computer, just as if it were at home.

Peace of mind, the absence of a nagging boss watching over you, the elimination of commuting, and more time on your hands.

So how do you find a great work from home job or business? There are quite a few opportunities on the web if you just look. Multi network marketing, internet marketing are amongst the more popular options. There are many other options that are similar and they all have one thing in common: anyone can get started without extensive technical skills. In fact, if you can type, you are already half way there. The internet revolution has made a lot of tasks simple plug and play, the easiest way to get started is to look for a packaged kit. When you are new to home business, having all the basics you need right at the beginning can allow you to make a smooth transition. A starter package will not make you rich but it's the best way to get your feet wet. The biggest mistake people make is that they try too much all at once. When you've become more adept to doing the type of home business, you can then venture out and be more creative with what you want.

You Can Reach Your Maximum Potential With Subliminal Messages

Our minds are unique, every one of us is different, and as we grow and learn things we all progress slightly differently. We are all different, and perhaps some of us receive positive reinforcement in school and go on to do well academically. Others revel in sports, they receive constructive praise for their sporting achievements and really put in the practice - on the way developing the proper mindset and patterns of thinking required for sports success.




Sadly, people also receive negative feedback - being told they are no good academically, or that they won't ever be successful in a certain area. This causes a negative reaction in our brains. Some neuron pathways close down and others open up, but essentially we limit our very own potential. This is a small amount of self sabotage, but mainly a safety mechanism - to safeguard ourselves from further negative comments, feelings and inner thoughts.



These self beliefs and patterns of thinking just become part of our character, of who we are, and because of them we rarely live up to our full potential. However, you can break these habits and ways of thinking if you really want to.



An Easy Way to Change Your Beliefs?



Subliminal messaging will help to rewire your mind. Subliminal audio is a simple tool which sounds a little mysterious at first, but in reality it simply works to destroy your limiting beliefs and replace them with positive ones. Because they access your subconscious mind they can make changes where other regular methods of development fall short, and even when you are not consciously conscious of the messages they slowly build to shape your mind in a favorable way.



Subliminal audio is a powerful tool which can be used to encourage and shape your brain in many ways - everything from assisting to increase your sports performance, and you can even get albums Subliminal-Weight-Loss


Imagine if you were free from adverse self perceptions, if you had full self confidence inside and out, imagine how much more you could achieve.



This doesn't need to be a fantasy forever, it is certainly possible to develop your subconscious mind, and you can get started today with the power of subliminal audio 100 % free
