Who didn’t hear or watch at least one video about Dana white’s latest show which called The Power Slap League that started this new year of 2023, the rules of this sport are easy and simple where both competitors taking turns trying to knock each other out in order to win
There is a lot of talking about it lately about the low payout of Ufc boss to the participants of this tournament which goes to only 3200£ a Fight while he might be generating millions of dollars of it, But my topic here i want it to be about betting on this new sport and tournament which i still didn’t see any bookmaker announcing anything about this matter, And in my opinion it’s a lot of fan and as any fighting sport there is always bookmakers that will eventually include Power Slap League and allow people to bet on their favorite fighters.

This isn't new. This "sport" or as it is called in some places "extreme sport" has been running for many years in Russia and Eastern Europe. There's also a number of leagues with one being called SFC (slap fighting championship) and they have a women's division too.
Draft Kings, which is an online betting site that was supposed to start accepting bitcoin last year, but probably postponed this due to bear market, allows you to bet on slap contests.
It's actually fun to watch, especially when there's a large weight and size difference between contestants.

slap contests have been happening for a while now but this power slap league is pretty new so I am not surprised bookmaker has not announced anything about it. to be honest, I'd be glad if this show does not get popular and the sportsbook ignores it. it is a very dangerous sport, some may say that MMA is far more dangerous but think about taking powerful blows to your head multiple times without protecting it.

This sport doesn't need skills but the strongest to give the swing of his arm. It might be a good idea to just watch first and see who is the most popular and who has the hardest chin. I guess Dana will also hype a champ for this league.

Once we know it's easy to bet on matches but are bookmakers going to add them? I certainly would watch this power slap.

It depends on the audience and how much the league can bring the money into the betting industry.

There so many things about the league, matches, etc. However, bookmakers only put a match or league for a sector who have the most revenue. There is no reason to put a league if the money movement gambling in that sector is really small.

So, can "Power Slap" get a sport on bookmakers? the answer yes but they need to bring a lot money into gambling industry otherwise bookmarked are not really interested at all.

I don't think bookies will allow this kind of sport to be posted in their lines. Most of the competitors that will join this competition would surely be in for just a few fights and afterwards, they might think that the damage that they're receiving is not worth the prize money. That brutal knockout that happened just a few days ago shows how brutal and unsafe this sport can be, and it seems Dana White doesn't care that much about the safety of its competitors but more about the revenue they can generate off of the viewership they gain from the sport. Hopefully they reinvent the rules of the sport, but there clearly is no 'safety' on the side of the fighters here really, because you receive a direct blow to the face with bare hands of your opponents.

This is absolutely new to me as I've never heard a thing about power slap league before, though I know about extreme sports but the slap part of it is something I'm just learning about here, and I really want to be sure about something..

Power slap league, as the name implies, does this mean that contestants will have to be taking turns to slapping each other until one of the contestants falls and gives up the fight?
I really want to get the mechanics of this game clear before I state or contribute my opinion about it..

It took along while untill I had to make deep research on my own, through videos, post and diverse illustrations... That was about the early times of last year.
The power slap league have gone a long way on the sports and I think they're making ways to get to the next level. The first day I watched one of the matches, I laughed out loud and began asking myself why peeps be getting weird slaps all in the name of sporting? ...I remember their participants getting slapped until he wasn't able to get his ass up...lmao
It's a game of utmost strength and I'm always wondering how they go bout Thier trainings.
Edit: bookmakers ain't in a hurry to get a contract deal with them, they only need a little more stability and fame ( cus nobody bets on games he's not conversant with)

Pretty sure the concept runs back from early 2019. I watched vids of MoistCr1tikal where he streamed Russian Slap Tournaments and sometimes hedge friendly (no money involved) bets with his viewers. He sometimes even post snippet vids of his stream with the most awesome monotone commentary you will ever hear in this planet. Shit's good. Pretty sure a lot of people have heard since then of this sport and has made renditions of it. But they got nothing on the OG. So far however, this Slap League Dana White's holding up seems to be up to par with how professional the Russian ones go, complete with bodyguards and enclosed within the Octagon. I would observe this with great interest.

The game is simple but risky and painful. I don't know if the participants are allowed to use some drugs to reduce the pains or impact of the slap during the slapping match. I have watched few fights and saw how well-built participants are knockout by some superpower slaps that sounded like a loud clap. Just like boxing and other extreme sports, power slappers need to be well paid. Underpaying these sportsmen would make the slapping league unattractive. I have never seen or heard about bets on the Power Slap League, maybe because it a relatively new competition. In few years such gambling section might become popular.

I agree on that slapping sport is so dangerous and even worse than MMA, UFC or any other fighting sport where competitors are able to defend eachothers and in slapping fight you shouldn't even move your face when getting slapped.
What i think is right for the success of this sport is to create more rules about sizes where heavyweight and lightweight won't fight in one league, Also ending the fight when they see that someone is getting very hurt and giving the fighters more time to recover from every round. Personally i think it's going to bring much more attention.

I found this news article to clarify things about safety measurements taken before every fight
"Power Slap president Frank Lamicella points out that before each bout, the strikers undergo a battery of tests—physical exams, MRIs, performance-enhancing drug screening—to ensure that they are fit to compete. Multiple physicians and first responders and ambulances are on-site at fights."
Source: time.com (https://time.com/6249626/power-slap-tbs-dana-white-ufc/#:~:text=Power%20Slap%20president%20Frank%20Lamicella,are%20on%2Dsite%20at%20fights.)

Dumbest sport ever, honestly.  Talk about cte and brain issues.  Just constantly taking professional hits with no chance to defend yourself.  No real tactic either.  Just slap the shit out of someone until someone gets knocked out lol.  I mean people will definitely bet on it though because that's what we do 😆

Dana White sold off his UFC ownership around mid 2022. He no longer owns a stake in the UFC. The same with Mark Wahlberg, Kobe Bryant and other celebrities who became fractional UFC owners. Endeavor bought out their shares to become sole UFC proprietor.

No longer being a fractional owner in the UFC, could mean Dana White is looking for a new business to become involved in. That could be the origins story behind Dana interest in Power Slap.

When MMA was a small time business, many athletes were paid $100 or $500 per fight. The UFC's TV deal with Fox sports was accompanied by a significant bump in pay. Followed by another bump in salary with the ESPN UFC TV deal.

I watched this kind of activity, and I find this slapping game interesting.  It would be great if this kind of "sports game" will be listed on the bookmaker's betting option.  


True but somehow I am entertained watching guys slapping each other and finding which one has the highest resistance and which one is a strong slapper.  I think this is not about defending and tactics but showing who has a more robust face to resist the impact of a power slap.

I have watched some videos on internet, and i was impressed by the brutality of such "games".
It will be because the wrestler can't defend himself or dodge a blow... but it's really impressive at least to me.
(likewise the winner of a tournament with a deformed face after the end of the match).

Is it possible to bet on these leagues? has any bookmaker quoted these events?
(no I would never bet on it, I don't find it ethical as a sport or at least really hard to be watched... I'm asking out of pure curiosity)

Yup...  And a lot of people don't really get what's going on behind the scenes because while Dana White still holds the title as 'president' of the company, he isn't really the guy who makes the important decisions anymore.  The real boss behind the UFC is Hunter Campbell.  He's been doing all the important deals for the company, he talks to the commissions of every state and country, he also has a say in match making.  Dana these days is just a figure head, a face of the company.  And if he leaves today, the UFC would be running just as smoothly as the transition has already happened years ago.

Anyway, where can we find lines for power slapz?

I'm aware of that league but I'm not sure if it's generating millions of dollars already. Is this true?

Regardless though, the payout is really small on that amount you have mentioned providing the fact that it's under the supervision of a UFC boss (honestly, it's just now when I read this thread that I also learned it was managed by the UFC boss).


That's the reason why I asked the question above if it's really generating millions already.

Because if that is so, at least it is now able to build a big betting market, and bookies should at least include it on their betting list but I also don't see it yet.

I remember seeing the first "slap in the face" a couple of years ago, amazing to see how a "joke" between friends has grown so much in popularity to the point of becoming such a huge competition.

And they already have media attention, as 'Power Slap' entered into a partnership with 'TBS', an American channel that will broadcast a series with a total of eight episodes of the league's tournaments. The production will serve to pick out the main exponents of the modality and assemble the company's inaugural rankings.

I don't like boxing, mma or similar, I find it too "brutal", but I confess that this new competition is intriguing me because "it's just a few slaps in the face", they are not capable of causing permanent sequels to competitors. ::)

I will follow the competition more closely, I believe that soon there will also be bookmakers for this new sport, and I will probably place some bets.

It's dumb coz it's funny. But the damages they incur, as well as the strategy and thought put into each game is comparable to the contact sports like boxing. I could argue that this sport is even more extreme than boxing, coz at least with boxing when you get smacked in the face it's with a little bit of cushion. With slapping tourneys you literally get Buddha-palmed in your cheeks. I don't think it's dumb really, especially if training is being performed by fighters before their events. Following that logic games with similar concepts like boxing would be regarded as dumb too.

I first saw this kind of competition on a Russian page, it's very popular in Russia, and Dana White wants to make it popular here in the US and all over the world, I have a hard time watching this kind of sport it's kind of brutal because the participants are defenseless, Dana's defense is you only get hit three or five times in this event while in boxing and MMA you get to hit 100 times or even more but in boxing and MMA you can defend and protect yourself and fighters have gloves to lessen the impact, this is another cash cow for Dana White.

If this new slapping league started this year then it is natural casinos have not added it as I find it difficult to understand how they can generate odds for a sport which is just a few days old, also I think they would like to see how popular it gets before they make an effort to offer odds for it, because as others have mentioned the idea behind this is nothing new and there are other slap leagues around the world, and as far as I can tell they are not very popular.

Yeah, been popular in Russia for the last couple of years and probably Dana saw an opportunity in the West. But not sure if this is going to be a hit as well, for me, it will not likely to succeed as I don't think it will be embrace or if there is a huge fan based about this kind of "sports".

On the contrary, it seems that this sports is for fun though, of course nothing brutal, just two combatants, (men or women), slapping the hell with each other. I'm not against it, but I don't find it attractive enough, just saying.

You need to have certain skills to get slapped and not be in hospital  :D, you need to have a great chin to absorb a full swinging slap, i will never participate in such event as there is no defense and it is likely you will get a concussion after every slap. I have watched some clips as these sort of tournaments are common in Russia but i am not following every tournament and i have not seen any sports book providing the odds, since Dana White is involved we might see bookies including them.

Is there no separation or weight divisions just like on boxing in between fighters or slappers?  :D We know that mass or weight of a certain person does really affect on how hard they would be able to hit up a certain
fighter or into that opposite person.
If there's so much weight difference and physique then we could really say that they would really be having that upperhand since we know on how would really be that relevant if we do speak about
weight.
So far ive been seeing this sport on social media on slapping up their faces until they do go down.Its sad that they are just accepting only a few of paycheck while the organizers
made ton.

it could work but I think the weight category would barely have any effect on the danger it poses because they'd still get slapped on their head without any protection. I really hope it doesn't;t get more attention but I am pretty sure Dana would market it as much as possible to gain an audience.

isn't this a normal occurrence in sports like this(i mean boxing, MMA, etc..)? if it is not, it should be.

I often see this on several social media platforms or YouTube but have never witnessed this match live.
On the other hand, I also haven't found a betting site for this contest, but it's possible that if something like this continues to get busy, it's not impossible that some will hold it, although at the moment it's still not possible because the enthusiasts may still not be too busy, unlike other bets.

I didnt see any bookies too that accepts betting on slapping contest on which it is really that hard to see one and also its not something a sport that you could really put up some analysis on which one would
really be able to win up because most of the time where fighters had the most bigger body would really be able to win and that would really be that a sure hint that would tell you on where you should
gonna bet and this is why i do believe on why we cant see any bookies arent really offering these betting lines due to this very reason or am i missing up something?
It doesnt really look interesting on my part though on slapping out faces until they do get down.

I don't have the interest to bet on this kind of sport. It's not even sports to begin with.

The reason is, there's no heavy favorite or underdog here. These people are categorized therefore the match was well balanced.

The first one to always got the chance to slap fight will always have the advantage. Don't want to a place a bet for that.

This kind of game has been existent for a while already, although not that mainstream. Dana must have seen a potential. And since there is not much competition in this new game, he must have thought of creating a UFC-like impact. But I doubt it would grow that big.

In the first place, it's pure danger. It's pure power. No skill is needed. No strategy that you need to learn or master. You just have to swing that arm and hit your opponent's face. It looks dumb to me. I don't even want to call it a sport.

I'm not interested in betting on this game.

The first time I watched this kind of "sports" was in Russia where they are just slapping each other until the other one passes out.
When I saw it for the first time, I was like "Is this even a sport? For real? They are just slapping back and forth and you call this a sport?"

A few months after, it became more and more popular that other countries trying to do it as well. I just don't know why it became popular at all where in fact, they are just slapping each other.

Well, Dana White wants another business and he wanna try this Power Slap League. Didn't heard that league until today, but I'll try to watch some videos on Youtube about it. I'm also thinking more on the health of the competitors than the excitement that I can get while watching the match. I mean it's near the brain and once a player wrongfully hit the brain part, it might affect it causing many sickness.

Overall, I don't call it a sport (at least for me). No strategy like others are saying, just swing here and there. Just using raw power to knock your opponents down and that's it.

Recently, I saw a video where one participant has blood on his nose and his right face is some sort of deformity. I think this kind of sport is getting worse, unlike before when it was okay to watch. I can't take to watching any of those videos anymore, although I am watching MMA, in which the fights are bloody, but I find that slapping sports are not good. For sure, on a Russian sports betting website they already have this, but for the existing sports betting right now, I think they are just preparing to add it as it is a new sport, so for sure they are already starting to implement it.

It's just a matter of time before we see multiple sites laying odds on power slap. It won't happen overnight, but 1 by 1 you will start to see some odds out there for it. Usually Stake.com is on top of things, so i'd expect them to be the 1st bitcoin site to offer it.

This sport is not new, though the league is brand new. I think bookies don't have their interest yet as the league was just started and they're not familiar yet with the players and the sport itself. So, it's pretty hard for them to put an odds to whoever has the advantage and who's not.
But, unfortunately this sport is kinda brutal to me. Unlike boxing and mma, you can dodge your opponent 's attack. However, for this particular sport, you will have to take the 100% slap attack that's coming from your opponent. Man, there could be a lot of brain damage that this sport will cause.

I also can't understand how bets can be placed on this and how the decision is made by the judges in favor of one or another participant, as far as I understand, a strong neck and a high pain threshold are of great importance here, since the force of the blow is about the same.

Strong chin and not everyone have that capability, while watching those vid clips I don't that it will come out from my mind to participate with that kind of sport, not sure if those who are patronizing this event are also willing to participate or they are just watching it out from curiosity, with Dana White around maybe we will see bookies to start adding some game or event that associated with this sport.

You gotta have the guts of a wild honey badger to expect the hardest slap while you watch someone preparing to do it in front of you.


Also interested to know where we can see those lines.

Dana getting into another kind of combat sport I guess this is where he will once again hype things and pay little to those who participate. UFC is in big trouble already with legal action against the old UFC fighters and it's getting hot for him to keep his face on UFC spokesperson.

I can’t believe this is a real thing. It seems brutal with opponents unable to defend themselves. Every time I see it I wonder how these competitors wound up in that position in the first place. Especially when I see women competing. Like, how do you wake up one day and decide that you want to get slapped repeatedly and violently in the face for a couple grand? I guess maybe they enjoy it? Seems hard to believe.

I would never bet on some people being better than some other,the reason is simple as I have said in other topics of sports where people challenge and fight each other,we don't know the physical condition of each of those,the psychological condition and if they have abused drugs or something like that,so I refrain from betting into such sports.

This sport where I live has never been allowed and I doubt it will ever will as it is a bad publicity for any country doing it,for Russia that it is allowed what can I say except that Russia has already shown themselves who they really are.

I often watch this event because maybe if it is categorized this sport is almost similar to boxing, whoever falls will lose of course those who have a hard slap and a strong face will win, I'm still not sure that many fans watch and bet on this gambling, although sometimes bookies always add anything on their betting sites, I'm not sure to bet on this sport but just enjoy watching it

   -   I hope that there will be that sport here in crypto gambling so that we can bet on what we want to win, it's like it's no different from a football game, the only difference is that its physical one by one.

Even women participate in this kind of sport. I have even watched an opponent with his face tilted as if he was fighting and in the end, he was the winner and the opponent surrendered to the force of his slap. This is the link Crazy SLAP FIGHT (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mr5sOJ0W-MM)

Well to be honest that fight you shared should be stopped once that man's face changed its shape, it's unreal how he resisted that amount of slapping and wanted to continue until he won that fight. In my opinion the judges should of stopped the fight once they saw there's a danger for both competitors.
As for women probably they should stick to The Booty Slapping Champion xd it's more fun and less dangerous for them, probably will being even more success for Dana if he starts it. Knowing that thie champion is also started in Russia
https://i.postimg.cc/KjbPFpYV/images-2.jpg

Lol how does the mechanism or scoring to judge the winner and the loser in this fight? yeah it's hurt and the booty will turn become red, but they can still able to stand since the damage you feel on your booty and face are completely different. Maybe it will took many hours until one of them are tired, but it's really not efficient.

I see no way if it's become a serious championship where there's a champion who carry the belt of each weight division, but for fun and just a yearly event seems fine.

I often watch the slapping sports match and it is so exciting that it makes a feeling of emotion also appear instantly when watching it.
What's more, if one of them falls down after receiving a slap, it makes me even more excited and want to demonstrate it or participate in the match.
To be honest, I've never bet on the sport of slap and I've never seen a casino have bets on that type of sport either.
Maybe it would be really fun if you could take part in betting so it could make you even more enthusiastic to keep watching in every game.

I will say that the power slap from fight was newly introduced and bookers will not see it as a necessity yet until after they have observed how much money does the power slap fight fetches into the gambling industry, if it is a huge one, then it can be considered. Bookers put games that they will always benefit from

This fight will be easy to predict all you need to do is to know the hero, I mean the slaper with a might hand and that can resist a heavy slap,and you will become the winner. I have watched a slap game which ended up funny to me. The slapping fight isn't has brutal or dangerous like boxing or is it.

I'm not interested into betting on sports and events in which physical harming is done. Recently saw a video in which two players slapped, and I got shocked to see a player get hurt. In specific the player's mandible got dislocated. I don't think most of the cryptocurrency accepted gambling platforms will add it to avail for betting.

Is boxing, MMA, or any other form of physical fight also included in those sports you are lacking interest in betting with?

Regardless, bookies don't see yet the market potential of that sport, and besides, that competition is relatively new in the industry.

Bookies won't look on how's the fight is perform to consider that sport to be added as a betting choice in the future.

Boxing, MMA, and other fighting sport require one fighter to hurt the other, though through safe and controlled means. Power slap competitions don't seem to have any sense of safety in between players that join the league. All of them aims to hurt the other player so bad for them to win, and a direct slap with bare palms to the jaw can cause serious damage to the receiving party, sometimes requiring hospitalization.

Though I get your sentiment about the physicality and rawness of power slapping, but other sports can get physical too, it's just that they're governed by rules that make them somewhat safer.

It’s not about the money they can get on this sports but rather on demand of user that wants to bet on it. Besides it will require more data for bookie to provide an odds on this sports since the mechanics and players info is totally fresh but take consideration that this sports is owned by Dana White. Bettors will surely become interested on betting to this sports later on once the league established many talents that will give excitement on the game.


Nope, This game is direct hit sports. Compared to MMA, this sports is more unpredictable because toss coin will decide who gonna slap first and having that first slap will get an early advantage since the first slap receiver will obviously gonna hurt that will affect his slap power. Luck plays an important role here too aside from physical stats.

It's fairly popular already, especially in European countries. Plus, it's probably as exciting as you're going to get. Most people complain about fights when they aren't doing much. Well, at least the slap leagues are full on action. Can't say I'm a fan mind you, and I wouldn't be interested in betting for the sole reason there's not a whole lot of skill involved. There's technique, no doubt. However, it could just be how the slap lands, whereas at least with traditional fighting sports you have to have the athleticism to land, this your opponent is standing still right in front of you.

Can't say I'm a fan, and I'm sure there will be a few problems with health, and safety concerns. Since, these guys are arguably taking bigger hits, more frequently than most other combat sports.

I've only watched this match once and don't even know the name of the fighter because it's just a highlight video, and honestly don't like it even though there will be bookmakers who provide this bet and there will be many matches available I won't consider watching  and also betting it because it's not interesting at all.

Honestly, this is the first time I heard this sport and it seems that I will not support this one I mean yes some other sports can hurt their opponent such as mma, wrestling , boxing etc., but then slapping until someone knocks out is kinda dangerous because you will be hit in your face since it is part of the head so there will be more chance that it will hurt your skull so bad. Hmmm if this sports will soon be in gambling or betting site, i think it will be a fast game and people will guess the winner fast.

I think this isn't the first time I saw a slap fight but with Dana White's status, maybe that's the reason people are talking about it plus the rumor of the cheap fee to fighters. Bad publicity is still a publicity and Dana still getting attention on that and that's what he wants and maybe the rumor is just wrong and they just want to get trending.

What goes on my mind is Eddie Hall if I recall it. I want to watch Khan Baba doing this on a tournament and I wonder who will fights him or test if he really that strong, it would be a most viewed fight if ever this entertaining guy plays there.

Although I have been seeing some highlights from this slap league, I never imagined it to gain so much attention as it now. People just so hungry to get slapped in the face and earn. They even practice by slapping objects before match day.
I know they win big in these kinda games, but the health part of it is quite detrimental because so many things might go wrong having to be hit several times in the head on occasions when it is ones turn.

Can't handle myself as well watching those slap matches, I don't know how they handle such strong slap right after the match, for me its very inhumane. Well, if they have the consent to do that probably its ok for them but to other viewers, that's too much. Anyway, I see there's a huge number of followers already on social media so probably many are already interested with the Slap league, hopefully they are being treated well here to avoid any serious problem.

As @darkangel11 said, DraftKings provides Slap Fight bets.


Clearer information.
Slap Fight Betting Now Available at DraftKings in Select States. (https://www.bonus.com/news/slap-fight-betting-now-available-at-draftkings-in-select-states/)

Indeed, Slap Fight betting is currently a popular sport and is enjoyed by many sports lovers, although currently most sports betting sites have not included the Slap Fight bet type in their Sportsbook, but I'm sure in the future, maybe we will also see that this type of game is in the sportsbook the gambling site that is here and by placing their best bookie.

It's very popular in Europe and Russia and since its becoming very popular in Europe Dana find another money-making machine with this slap league, there's a possibility that this will be the next big combat sport, I don't want to even call this a combat sport as both participants or slappers have no means to defend themselves, they just rely on how their cheek can take these huge slaps.


Because it's still new but once it gains ground or increases its popularity, the participants should get more from 3200£ a Fight is just not enough because of the medical and injury participants can suffer from these slaps.

Now that Dana White is promoting this kind of event I'm sure sports betting will watch this and might include it in their betting events, we never know if this year this kind of sport will find its way to casinos

In no time this year, I envision more gambling sites to include this slapping championship in their list of sports for betting. Maybe they need more people to show support and interest in this games, so that they can have variety of bets to include in the game. The game isn’t a bad one, but I don’t really fancy games that include the disfiguring of one’s body as this case maybe in the slapping game.

In one of the matches at Dana White's event one fighter suffered memory loss after suffering from a brutal knock out


Participants should be checked completely if they are capable enough to receive a big slap, this is one dangerous sport that needs medical attention on all participants, there's a possibility that one slapper can suffer from permanent damage.

https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/mma/slap-fighter-left-memory-loss-28997975


It's early to tell but we never know if they will include this kind of sports event, Dana White has a huge influence it may get in some casinos if there are demands coming from gamblers.

I remember watching videos of people participating in those matches where they exchange slaps and wait for someone to be knocked out.

I just Googled this and found this:
https://www.powerslap.com/

It's amazing how it looks like, and this made me interested in watching it.

You could also join if you want  :o
https://www.powerslap.com/#about

Really interesting fights though. I like the part of the site where it shows the W-L records.

I don't think this sport will be of interest to bookmakers as there are a lot of options for fraud and contractual games.This is a very local gambling game like a cockfight somewhere in the basement where there is only a very small group of fans of this event.I think there are bets on the match, but directly on the spot and between fans.

Dana just improves the current slaps competition that become viral before on social media. It’s just ironic that Dana white release the announcement for this sports right after he has an active case for slapping his wife. -https://www.tmz.com/2023/01/02/dana-white-wife-drunk-fight-slap-new-years-eve-nightclub-cabo/ :D

I believe he use the timing of his case to introduce this new game to have some humor and at the same time to show that he can continue despite an active case against him. I’m sure this sports will gonna be interesting in the long run.

They could have such a powerful slap just by practicing hard every day. I couldn't bear to watch the match because I imagined that if I got slapped, I would immediately pass out and not wake up for several days. I don't know if the game has a lot of fans or if it still needs promotion to get the viewer's attention. Those who compete will get good treatment because they have given the best for the viewers.

It can't be a coincidence, right?
This was discussed in the UFC thread weeks ago because of the timing and then he issue a statement that they were all good.
It's just too extreme for power slap marketing gimmick. If it happens to a regular person, he won't get away with it and in less than a day the media will call it an abuse. In the case of Dana, no women's rights movement was activated.

I have not seen any odd providers listing this game on the site since the game requires physical involvement that can lead to injuries, human and animals games have been highly discouraged in most casinos since it over stretches the athlete involved all with the aim to win the fight and this can lead to a number of unwarranted condition resulting from the activities of the game.
-we may see new site or order one getting this kind of game implemented in the casino, but it popularity will still be greatly undermined to a number of factors.

^Have you heard the news about the Polish slap fighter who died because of the slapping tournament?
But even though how risky it is, it seems this kind of game has now regulated by some countries with some rules and regulations to make sure players will not put their lives in danger. If you have a large jew, this game is the best for you that can able to resist during the slap, I don't think how strong your brain inside your head if there is no damage after you will become a successful fighter of this game.

This is something i wouldn't recommend anyone trying for even a laugh. I have a history in training self defence and i have been in rough situations. Even in "friendly" combat i've gotten head injury, broken ribs, bruises, broken joints and so far in those everything has healed.

Then i tried power slap for a laugh with my friend. I don't know why, maybe to probe manliness or impress girls. We managed just to look stupid. I panicked on third slap, turned my face away and my friend managed to hit on my ear. It broke my eardrum and got me loud tinnitus and hearing loss for life. It's one of the few things i really really regret trying. There's no such thing as silence for me anymore. If i had a time machine and one advice to give to younger me. Not ever trying power slap would be high on the list.

The power isn't everything. It's important to be accurate and land on the chin to move the opponent's head to the side. It bounces your brain inside your skull and makes you pass out. That's why many of them have beards to hide the jawline. They also try to tuck the chin as much as they can or even turn their heads a bit to make the opponent hit higher and more into the back of the head, towards the ear.

Slap Leagues can be hilarious at times. You can see good highlights on youtube. There's even one where Arnold was the host.

I also got that feeling too when watching it, I felt the slap, in boxing and MMA I have no feeling while the two fighters are exchanging punches and hitting each other because it's spontaneous, but it is very different when the punches or slap is anticipated, especially when the slapper is preparing to hit the other slapper, you're thinking if the slap is strong or hard and when it land you feel that it also land in your face.  :D

That is really a sad story, I'm sorry for that. :(
This "sport" is indeed very harmful to the players' health, because it's all about being constantly and accurately hit on the head. Every fights' sports cause sequels to athletes on long run, but in Slaps' tournaments the damage is much more intense, severe and not even need to reach the long term to face them, just like in your personal story. I believe there are lots of criticisms inside sports' industry regards this activity, difficulting its introduction to the gambling scene.

Actually, for me, this is real gambling you will never know if a person can withstand a slap or blow, or if that person has the strength to knock out his opponent with just a slap, for me these is really not real combat skills, It looks like Dana White is searching other ways to suppress is hunger with slapping contest with his wife, (just a pun) this show was said to be release on January 11, 2023 but because of the Slapping incident Dana and his wife have gotten in the new years eve, so it was delayed,

Well just like in the UFC when it was just starting but for this slapping contest It should have some division but they just know what they are doing this is the UFC

And yes if there will be a betting for this it will be hard to say if who's going to win because this is going to be a gamble to bet on,

But in this case, it is possible that when something like this continues to become crowded, in the end there will be several bets like this, no one knows.
Because even if what you say is true when talking about business they clearly see the potential if this is indeed considered productive I think they will also step in and open some bets.

This so called sport wont be stopped unless if someones gets killed due to head injuries or brain damage considering with those huge impact into their faces on the time they are being
slapped by someone.Its true that this is really that something risky just like with those sports like boxing or mma/ufc where brutal hits could really happen out.
Some do really get that interested or really that amazed on this sport but on my part it isnt really just that fun to watch for two people been
slapping to each other.lol

I’m sorry to hear that mate, slapping game appears to be more dangerous than punishing sometimes and couldn’t cause permanent damage in head from memory loss to breaking skull bones and as in your case causing a permanent hear loss. I don’t think that everyone should be allowed to participate in this sport to at least prevent more cases like these ones. But i don’t think they will stop it as well since there are many people enjoying watching and playing it as any other fighting sport.
So if someone want to be safe he shouldn’t participate in first place and we can’t blame Dana White for supporting this new League since everyone that envoles in it knows well how it can end for him regardless how much money or fame he can get

Dana White is truly an interesting person. He is a very good organizer and show manager. I have no doubt that he will organize the Power Slap League very well. However, I could not decide whether this event is a sport or not. In my opinion, this is not a type of sport. It has nothing to do with sports directly. However, Dana White can turn it into a very popular event and earn huge bucks. We have all seen what he did in MMA. Even if he cannot achieve the same success, he can perform a good organization.

Seems far too variable to be a proper sport or for betting on beyond fun.  The ear damage factor is real and probably people should be wearing protection for ears on the basis but I guess it wont happen because it would look wrong.   
   

Lets take the definition of a sport base on Google (https://www.bing.com/search?q=what+is+the+definition+of+a+sport&qs=n&form=QBRE&sp=-1&pq=what+is+the+definition+of+a+sport&sc=10-33&sk=&cvid=7295B67CA8C443B79ED8D1030B6ACD79&ghsh=0&ghacc=0&ghpl=)

While some of the definition can be applied to Power Slap, there are some that isn't like the word "skill". Do you need skill to slap your opponent? You only need power and that's all. On the other hand, power slap involves physical exertion and the phrase "for entertainment". Well, people are enjoying watching 2 people slapping with each other so... yeah it might be entertaining as well so it might be considered as a sport.

As for wearing protection for ears, it wont happen because if that happen, players will not get knocked out since they already have a protection on their ears. Overall, I still consider it a sport. For some it might be entertaining, but I'm more worried than entertained as I watch them.

Agreed, Dana into slap league organization makes it more interesting. His involvement will surely make more people watch the event. This guy have got the ability to make nothing to a much better one. Majority have the same thought, it isn't type of game in which betting can be done. MMA is far better, because the harming is entirely different whereas with the slap tournament directly hitting on the face is really worse. I don't think much people will enjoy watching these kind of events.

Cleary this is made not just to entertain but for the UFC and Dana White to gain money aswell, there might be people that don't want to bet on this kind of thing, but people will have different opinions there are still some that will bet on this, and watching the 1st slapping contest I think it is entertaining but this comes with terrible health risk and that will surely have damage someone's brain from the traumatic shock to the head, but surely for UFC to fund such event I think they have studied it before getting this show on the road,


There are deaths in boxing and the MMA but did they stop it? I guess this will not stop until no one is watching this, but for me, this is really entertaining to watch sad to say that I don't want to bet on this because it is surely still a chance, and anyone can surprisingly win, but surely this will lead to serious issues in some point let's just wait and just enjoy what may happen in the future with this power slap event, that Dana White and the UFC have cooked out,


We could agree on the same thing but, we and Dana White can surely call this new event anything we want and may agree on what to call it in some point, but surely the damage has already been done to those people's faces, and that one guy was swollen his face like a blow fish, it was really a horrible event in my opinion,

I heard about it from my friend but didn't think much about it. And if the government has regulated this game, it means that there have been complaints from some people who see that this game is very dangerous if there are no stricter regulations. However, if a very hard impact hits the face, it will cause the internal organs in the head to be shaken and can lead to death.

But at least they must really have strong energy to do a very hard slap that can make their opponent lose immediately. This slapping game is very dangerous because a shock in your skull can make you faint instantly. No matter how hard we try to withstand the effects of the slap, our heads will still experience the shock and there will be a dizzy effect after receiving the slap.

Boxing and MMA matches can also be fatal for both fighters because they will bring out their best abilities to beat their opponent. But I don't know because I saw that the recipient of the punch looked ready to receive a punch from his opponent, so it looks like they set it up before the show.

Why not? There are even strange betting other than this but most of them are only held locally. Slapping is far more popular than them so it has a chance to be included by a betting site. MMA is not comparable to this one.

MMA is more entertaining because whole body parts can be used by the fighters and they can invent different moves by this. They can move freely and do some cover up when one attacks but we already saw a fighter which are badly beaten up so don't say that slapping is worse or more dangerous. For some maybe slapping is unenjoyable but there are people who enjoys this and this is why it became trendy.

It will be a big test to him if he can still bring interest to more audiences, unlike with MMA which there are many people who loves the sport and they are enjoying what they are watching Power Slap is more on how hard your chin and how you can endure that strong slap, not sure about the support that it can gain from a huge fan base, so far, this sport if it's already classified as sport is popular from Russia.


That's the actual risk, especially to those who really got that huge slap capabilities, damage from the ears and dislocation of your face might be possible if you've got a soft face..

This league actually growing, they have more viewers now and many are interested to participate and watch the matches, it looks like they are being offered here with a lot of money just to accept the match. Bettors might also find this interesting and maybe that's why the league are growing too. If they can get more viewers and partners, we might see this league into a big screen and probably many will participate as well as they can be more famous while earning money at the same time. This might look too risky, but its already there, I won't bet on this though.

I have watched this show several times to see what it is all about. Yes, I think it is a show, because I can't call this kind of entertainment a sport, as the participants don't see any outstanding achievements. Rather they will have problems with the head in their old age. I certainly wouldn't bet on the contestants on this show so as not to support the promotion of what I think is a silly show to the masses.

The entertainment is watching people get slapped so hard they break their jaws. Called a sport perhaps inappropriate, it is very dangerous for anyone without good jaw strength to imitate. Anyone can follow but, of course there is a strict selection. Silly show or not, but power slaps are becoming a popular part of the tournament today, replacing the somewhat outdated arm wrestling league.

Its Dana White's new cash cow and they attract people for fame and fortune, disregarding injuries that may incur when participating in this kind of sport, this is one of the combat sports, where the advice , is not applicable, because you cannot duck here or cover yourself, you are literally at the mercy of your opponent the organizers should see to it that all the participants have a strong chin and have passed physical tests, although I hate seeing this face slapping I become more curious if this will become popular worldwide because of Dana's promotion.

   -   You're right there, when I watched this fight, if I look at him it seems like it was even more intense than boxing because at least in boxing you can avoid your face or head and other parts of your body will be hit that you can tolerate no matter what pain hit.

But here in these slap sports, you don't have a chance to avoid your head or face but brace yourself and prepare yourself to accept or taste the severe slap that will touch your face. Then you are just one of the gambler's choice of who will win. What a sad reality :-\

Dana White should be stopped. It doesn't make sense, but I think that the fact that someone started slapping first gives them a certain advantage over their opponent, since for the second slap the opponent will be at a disadvantage, with a weaker jaw and a decompensated nervous system. I think they should have some mobility so that this is not in turns, but in any case the one who starts has a lot of advantage, since he can finish in the first slap.

Surely it will be another White's cash cow, most probably $500 per participant lol,  when UFC started, the fighters were just paid from $3500-9,000 that's what I've seen in the complaints of the old fighters. It must be true but today they were already paying more than $3M a fight take that from Connor.

Despite the fee, there may just be lots of people ready to join. But really I'm also not seeing this to be a sport like the user pointed out above.e.

The repeated blows to the face with no defenses in place is a terrifying prospect. True, mixed martial arts is risky, but at least these athletes are protecting themselves with protective gear. Of course, I also pray that the power slap league doesn't go nuclear. This is not something to promote or celebrate.

But I can see why that might be appealing to certain people. The public enjoys seeing those who participate in or watch extreme sports and those who attempt to achieve the impossible. However, in the end, safety must always be prioritized. I really hope the league's organizers will take all the necessary measures to make sure everyone involved stays safe. And maybe the bookies will avoid it as well

If you say that slapping is not appropriate to be called a sport because it is dangerous and can break a jaw, then do MMA and wrestling also not deserve to be called a sport and in fact MMA and wrestling actually have even greater risks that can make fighters serious injury or even disability.
In all types of sports, there is definitely a risk of getting injured, but every athlete is
have been trained and are truly experts in their field so that it will minimize the occurrence of injuries while competing.

The fighters who compete in this competition are professionals and know the consequences so they are also aware of that I think. Apart from anything this is another tough type of fight apart from UFC because when we talk about dangerous then I think the conditions are a bit the same but because there is the word "professional" there this kind of danger doesn't really matter.
This is a business and money as long as this battle can bring in money for businessmen, this is clearly an opportunity, right?

It may look dangerous for us but not for them because they have trained well and prepared for a long time. The business has been doing well in providing entertainment for the audience, and of course, they make a lot of money from the event.

There may have been some fighters who had suffered injuries after the fight was over, but they still seemed to be able to handle them just fine. They are professionals who are experts in their field, so that it won't be too dangerous for them.

But if ever one of them suffered serious injuries $3500-9,000 payment for one fight is just not enough to cover, they should have at least medical insurance, this is a maiden venture but they cannot continue paying that low amount, and once they established superstars on their league, they should also start increasing the fighter's payout or the people will criticize Dana's organization for too much profiteering.

Did you two watch any slap fight competitions? There is no "professionalism" in slapping each other, you just need a strong hand and a hard head, but even that will not save you from the consequences... serious head/brain/neck injuries, and it doesn't matter how strong someone is, after a while the brain turns into a trot from so many "direct" hits! This is a brutal "sport" (if we can call it that), there is no technique or strategy, you just need to be strong as a bull and insanely crazy to do this!

I don't like this slapping at all, and I will never watch it again let alone bet on it! For sure someone made a business out of it (it's insane what we can see on tv or online), I guess it's not so hard to find some people with a mental diagnosis to slap each other and be proud of that, while others are making a profit on that! This world is crazy!

Nothing else but that strong chin and determination to win, like you, I also don't want to follow this sport if ever that it was classified as sport now, maybe for some they are amazed and curious since they are seeing amazing people who can take that huge slap and still manage to stand still and try his chance to hit back.

The one that can continue to stand still is the one who will be declared as a winner, just sharing, I watch some clips regarding to this, a player let his opponent win not sure if because he really can't continue or he just see the face of his opponent and he knows that if he will continue his opponents health will be at risk.

As I wrote before, when there is the word "professional" it is clear that things like this can be minimized, therefore they are still there and operating until now because regardless of anything, when it is dangerous, it is certain that this will be banned and will not go this far .

And this is much worse than what boxers endure because they cover themselves and not all hits get through the guard and hit clean. With slappers every hit lands and does some damage. They may not knock them out but the brain gets rattled like if they were in a car accident.

There were cases of wrestlers who were getting hit in the head by chairs all the time who were losing sight and hearing or becoming numb. There was this famous wrestler Chris Benoit who had so much mental problems from multiple brain injuries that he killed his whole family and committed suicide without any reason. They weren't leaving him or anything, he wasn't on drugs or drunk. Your brain is a delicate machine and once it gets broken there's no way to fix it.

We know that on the time these competition had started then it does have some specific rules on where you should only hit up on someones part of the face which is mostly on the cheek but there are moments which
those slaps could go out neither on ear or into neck or upperpart  of the head which i do consider out to be foul.I dont know on how they are considered professionals though but it do turns out that this had
become the standard on which whenever sports you are involved with and do come and shown on big screen or happen on big stage then you are considered as professional. :D

This is interesting, I am seeing videos of this league a lot especially on my social media account. Also, I doubt this could be faked out easily, in terms of the tesults which makes it a good sport to bet for. But what I am concerned of is for the players because there are no weight class or division specified which somehow creates disadvantages and advantages for the players. I'm not quite sure of it but this would make prediction easier than with other sports. But I am still interested with such sport.Well, somehow right. They are professionals in the first place so I guess there's nothing to be worried of. But I'd still wish for weight division in order for match ups to be more exciting.

I agree with weight division because it is really that unfair on which there are people who are just big and in versus to those who are really that less in size and weight which it is really that obvious
that  they would be giving off more damage or  impact against the other one which it is really just right that they should make out some separation just like on boxing.
It is really just not that hard to make up some guess on whose gonna win unless if that certain slapper do really hit hard not just basing up into its appearance
but well yeah this is much more interesting for them to make such change.

Honestly, the first time I watched this slapping contest by the Russian I was horrified I've seen one's face getting his face deformed but they still let him continue the match, I hope it will not happen here in Dana's version of the slapping contest, utmost care should be implemented because participants have no defense and cannot do anything on what's coming but to endure it, I'll follow this slapping league to see if they are a better version than the Russian version.

They treat the sport with the same level of seriousness and regard as other contact sports of the same genre, which is good because you don't get CTE and other head trauma that may debilitate you for the rest of your retirement life to be laughed at because you joined a slapping competition.

Props to Dana for treating this as if it's a real sport, thus way fighters are bound to get better treatment and care from professionals, as well as extra pay for their hard work.

Lol, but this is different from MMA, Slapping is nothing more than an outlet and fun entertainment for those who are content to see others moan in pain. MMA still has a lot of fitness techniques and exercises to do to maintain better physical endurance. But I don't know what sport is applied to power slap, is it necessary to slap dolls every day? Every sport has risks, but power slap is not like other sports in general. This is just for fun and not very technical.

I have already seen some videos about slapping contests and tournaments. I'm not amazed at the sport really, if it is to be called that. What amazed me was how people are interested in joining the contests.

I guess many have watched that slapping match between the tattooed small guy with long hair against a much much bigger guy. What happened was expected. How could that small guy win over that giant on a slapping contest? There was not even a way to beat the big guy.

Agreed, uncle Dana wants this to be accepted as a sport, however, very much similar to the NFL the concussions from this sport might make the regulators very concerned and this will cause them to question if it is right for them to let power slap continue. The NFL is established already. The regulators cannot do anything to stop the NFL comissioners but power slap is a very young sport with very small viewership. It would be easy for regulators to freeze power slap's license, I reckon.

In any case, this might be the real power slap that we certainly might want hehehehehee.

Money. That's all.
I believe this is the reason why they are joining. Not amazed at this one either. I can't even call it a sport as well. Just 2 people slapping their faces. How can you amazed with that league? Anybody who is a fan of this Power Slap League? How can you get entertained with this league? I'm a bit curious.

That's why if you are just a small guy then simply don't enter the league.
If you are a fat guy with a strong hand like the ones that I've watched just a few hours ago then you might wanna try this "sport".

I did watch a bit. A bit boring at least for me.
Just slapping their a** until it becomes red.  :D :D I guess that's more entertaining for others than the real slapping league.

Well, like many other contact sports... Power slap contestants run a high risk of serious injuries, if you participate in this sport. (This Sport focus purely on contact to the head... and that is more dangerous than other Sport) ... just Google Artur “Waluś” Walczak who died after a slapping tournament in Europe.  ::)

"Slap-fighter Jewel Scott has admitted his life will be on the line when he takes part in Dana White's new Power Slap League." -
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/other-sports/mma/ufc-dana-white-power-slap-29063538

I know I will not bet on something, where the risk are very high that the contestants might incur serious injuries or that they might even die.  ::)

Bootyslap is of course only suitable for girls with bloated bottoms LOL, I'd love to watch this tournament hehehehe.
seeing ass flushed with a hard slap, this would be far from a concussion, but might be a hindrance to doggy style  ;D ;D

I thought Artur “Waluś” Walczak is a small guy because he was warned by his foe but after I search his appearance I see that his build is solid or strong enough to be knocked out easily. So my guess is maybe the guy already have an existing health issue and it only got triggered by the time he got involved in the said sports.

Great that you also care about the fighters and not just the odds that you see. I am only not sure if there are more people who are like you who don't like to see a game like this but I think most of them feel entertained on watching two people slapping each others face even though some of these fighters can get knocked down and worse die during the match.

They must have health insurance to protect their health if, after the match, they experience minor or serious injuries so they can be treated by a doctor as soon as possible. And their income in the match can be big because they provide entertainment for the audience, and if the match can increase television ratings, their pay will be even bigger.

But they can still be professional in providing entertainment to those who watch it so that people will think it is a serious game. This is part of a reality show trying to get a large audience. Still, unfortunately, it contains scenes of violence that are inappropriate for young children to see. And all of this is because of the huge amount of money around the game and probably the many sponsors that will support it.

Yes indeed, the advantage is high and what to expect with the outcome? I see your point and still there are people who continue to patronize this event, not sure still if we can call it a sport but from the people who are supporting and playing this, they can take it as one kind of sport that they might find themselves getting some advantages from different opponents that they might take.

All will be depending on how those people will take it and how the venue will be filled out of viewers and participants that are willing to play and support the events.

Joining this kind of contest is interesting for other people because it doesn't need much skill but rather strength to knock down the opponent. Of course, it can provide fame and money but I honestly don't like watching this type of so caller sports. I just don't like watching women slapping and hurting each other because I don't find it appropriate for women to hurt each other that way just for money. The organization is surely earning a lot from its events.

Organization will not proceed if there's no money that will be involved with each games/fight that they will sponsor, I see your point about those girls and it's really funny that there are people who are willing to participate, though also, getting that fact that there's money on it and you don't need any kind of skills aside from your power slap and your strong chin to survive your opponents slaps.

Moving forward, there are people who are entertain and there are people who earn money from this event, so we will continue to see this event to continue and might possible to reach more people/viewers and participants.

In my opinion these events will be held as long as there is hype, but in my opinion it will end soon and the organizers will have to find something new to attract viewers. Many people watch these shows because they haven't seen it before, but after watching a few fights, if you can call them that, interest decreases noticeably (at least I'm not interested in watching it), unlike soccer, boxing and the UFC.

Personally, I think the hype will die down within a year or two.

That is to say that the game is not interesting then, personally, I've never heard of this kind of game, and neither have I ever watched it, and when I came across this topic on this subject here, it looked really awkward.
I think several people out there are finding ways to come up with something new, it is the same in every sector and not just in gaming, but I think the idea of slap league is the lamest I've come across, the title of "Slap league" isn't even interesting and is enough to turn a serious minded sports person off.

Maybe they are also involving women to make the sports more attractive but many people don't like the idea of slapping being a so-called sport. I know that sports organizers nowadays want to promote new sports and enlarge the industry but I could conclude that they didn't succeed in this part. From the title itself, it doesn't promote safe sports so I guess they should look for better ideas to launch promising and interesting sports games in the future.

This kind of slap event is very popular on social media before it was adapted by UFC management and rebrand it as power slap. This event become subject too bashing because UFC management touch this event and make an official sports while the previous from unknown organizer was like by many people. I believe that this event  shouldn’t be a sports and remain the way it was because Dana White bashers will obviously feast on this lame sports.


I disagree, A direct punch in the Jaw from MMA fight is much more lethal than a slap. If this slap doesn’t promote safe sports then UFC and other MMA should be remove too since they can slap anyone too inside the octogon.  :D

This kind of game is not really that interesting, however it is a popular game at parties when people are drunk as alcohol numbs their senses, so it seems to me they are trying to take advantage of this popularity and trying to make it into an official sport, but this will be a challenge, as something could be interesting to do with your friends but you will not waste your time watching someone else doing it, especially since there is not much to watch as once you see someone receiving a slap you have seen pretty much all what this league can offer.

the very moment I have watched this event years ago? I felt it is not necessary to become a sports nor even to exist because this degrade the respect of people towards each other.
because in the past? we knew that slapping one person meaning you are trying to have a fight for last man standing.
but now they are just letting people have this like it is funny and enjoyable?

Most Russians are enjoying this kind of sport, they said, but it is gruesome to some like me because there is no chance that you'll evade the slap; you are just depending on the power of your opponent's, and you'll also get blood or make your face hurt for sure. though there are a lot of people watching it right now. But before I saw it, it was kind of funny because it was just for fun, but later on, when it got competitive, it got worse and bloodier.

I never thought if this sport is funny because it will cause an injury in short term and long term. For me this sport might more dangerous than MMA and boxing because in MMA you're really free to hit which place you want to hit and in boxing it's quite free since you can hit from the body to head. But in power slap, you can only hit the cheek which mean you will get repetitive damage in the same place.

If Mike Tyson was young at this time and he wanted to be a slapp athlete then he would be the most successful athlete because he has incredible strength, and imagine how damaged his opponent's face would be when he received a slap from his strong hands, and the boxers can use this sport as an alternative because they already have the technique for how to swing their arms so they have the power to slap

this slapping game had been around for years but of course Dana sees opportunity yo make tons of money so he take this chance and use it as another League in which once I love the essence of the game but now as this promoter starts getting in? no wonder that this will be rigged and the quality will be gone soon.
now I don't wanna watch this again .

   -   Well, thanks to those fighters in Slap sports and Mike Tyson who is old, because if he happens to be young, those who will fight him will be poor for sure.

Most likely, every slap Mike Tyson's palm will hit will result in a knockdown for sure. It's a different kind of fist or palm like steel to hit the opponent in reality. And probably many will not fight with him hehe.

This is one of the primary evidence of how foolish and greedy people are. We've seen this before as Russians have done this something for "fun". We all know, fun could be a bit different for Russians sometimes lol.
As it gains popularity and people are actually getting interested when we see a sport or an event which involves physicality, so the people behind this new league, took the advantage do earn a lot of profit. I've heard players from this league was complaining for a low payroll. Seriously, this is insanity, it's not a sport. Those who took the first turn, always have the upper hand.

I didn't want to disrespect Mike Tyson, but if you're looking for strong people who have hard punch, it doesn't must be Mike Tyson because Francis Ngannou aka former of UFC heavyweight champion is the world's hardest punch or you can choose Artur Beterbiev who have 100% KO rate and now holding 3 belts in light heavyweight division. If both of them joining this league, they might always enter final in every event lol.

This slapping sport is as dangerous as MMA because both of them can cause damage to the body, even though this slapping sport can cause damage to the brain if the punches are very hard. And if a fighter is bleeding from his body, the game has become more dangerous and must be stopped immediately before it becomes more brutal.

Maybe if the player slapped on the butt wouldn't hurt as much as getting slapped on the cheek. But still, it would cause pain to the person receiving the slap.

I don't find that what they called sport entertaining for me its all about violence since imagine the players cannot do anything but to receive the damage gotten from the slap that's so awful to see.

Don't also want to place some bets since I'm not participating to this kind of activities. If someone will say how about boxing well the fighter has opportunity to defend theirselves compare power slap league which they just receive the slap and thats it.

Did I say before that slapping is the same as MMA?
Please understand more from the review that I said earlier so that you can better understand what I mean because I'm just saying that all types of sports definitely have risks, not only slapping but other sports such as MMA and wrestling also have a greater risk.
Slapping sports also have training that is quite draining, namely they practice lifting weights to increase hand strength and also practice slapping such as using rubber ropes and also using rubber dolls as experimental material for their slapping.

I have seen few power slap fights on Instagram and Youtube and man I get goosebumps while watching it.
People getting knocked out is what scares me as it can damage your brain or create other physical damages to your face.
I wonder why are they playing such a dangerous "sport". Betting on it is really crazy in my perspective since one's life is at stake.

I have watched it and unlike the random videos on social media where they just slap their opponents without some strict rules, this one has some rules that they need to follow and the contestant are pretty strong honestly, I don't really like it because you can see how brutal the competition is because they are given a free hit on their opponent faces which kinda hard to imagine how they will gonna move on from those slaps after the game? You can see how they took those damages and you can see their heads shaking so hard, others even get knockdown and never recover again.

I never thought that this will become a large organization I just saw them in the videos in different social media and just happen in a small event only and I saw that imagine their training and resistant from slapping and one slap that's really hard can make you a knock out or else having a problem with your brain due to have a large impact of it, still for me its part of the extreme sport like the others too because its cause too much dangerous.

Such slap contests were popular in Russia about 3-4 years, specially on YouTube. I know that there are also slap contests in UK and Poland. I personally does not count this as a sport at all. You are right that this is extremely dangerous. Power Slap will close as soon one of the contestants get a brain injury, gets a serious concussion or dies from cerebral hemorrhage.

The problem with Power Slap is that there are no clear rules how strikers can slap. It is only said that they can slap with open hand basically. In Russian version of slaps, it was allowed to slap with fingers only, straight, unbended in elbow arms. And they were allowed to slap only in the cheek or chin. Otherwise you get a disqualification. In Power Slap, they mostly slap with edge of palm (dont know how it is named correctly in English, it is called "abductor digiti minimi" on pictures) to the temple. Or the reffs are suck and warn for such wrong slaps. Anyway, it is like a hook the head. A hook that it is not allowed to block or dodge. This is not sport!

It is not a large organization yet. Dana white from the UFC has made a league but it is not big yet but the sport has become more popular in recent years. I remember that Logan Paul did a slap league and made a video about it. He just signed a contract with Dana with his sports drink for the ufc maybe the next move will be trying to use Logan Paul to promote his slap league and put him against some lower level opponents in the slap league.

I don't think any slapping league will accept Mike Tyson or Ngannou these fighters already have the edge and they will make the competition unfair to everyone, the league will try to make the competition as fair as possible to attract more sponsors and support from the fans.
Maybe in the future when the slapping league establishes its own superstars it will accept other fighters from different sports.

MMA started this way though. Something like from the movie Fight Club until someone with the balls actually made it popular. It began outside the US also like the MMA Pride until UFC came. PowerSlap I guess as you said started in Russia, UK, and Poland.

This PowerSlap might just be considered a sport in the end, it will just need some sort of a sports organization to recognize it. It's a pattern that Dana is taking once this powerslap becomes popular and then athletes complain again about the low fees, he may look for another sport to develop.

That sport is horrible and maybe that is why nobody is ready to sponsor it. I have never seen something as much disgusting as that. Most of the slaps are heavy that few of the participants had passed out during the competition. They do not use protection for their ears. Alot of ear drums of those into this type of sports are going to burst because of unprotected heavy hitting in that region. Whoever introduced that as a type of sport should be sanctioned. It is the worst extreme sport in the world that I have witnessed. Worse than UFC.

The sport was just released and there aren't many sponsors partnering with the sport yet, but I don't know much about the rules of this sport and I saw a video of the powerslap league sport on the timeline of the social accounts. I thought it was quite interesting because they used the hardest slap I've ever seen and I was quite surprised to see them faint immediately after hitting that slap. I think just enjoy me as a spectator because their program has passed the censors and got the broadcast production license for that sport, they have the selected players and the medical team so nothing to worry about.

What makes you think there is nothing to worry about in that disgusting sport? Is it because cases of burst ear drums of participants have not been reported in the media? Yes we know that injuries is part of sports and that all sports have their own ills and bad side but to intentionally go into the one with obvious bad side is like walking into a ditch. I want that sport to die off and not have any sponsorship.

Whether you do like it or not which this type or kind of sport is getting more attention as of this moment unlike into those previous years on which it isnt really getting that much attention but now it do really becomes a sort of trend or really getting that recognition which does simply means that there is really a specific market for this sport.

When it comes to injuries then its true that everything cant really be disclosed or would really be reported but its just an assumption and we dont know when it comes to transparency of those things.
If they are really that getting that attention and popularity now then there's nothing we can do.

Me too!

I though that it was really just some past time for some people and made out some videos about slapping out their faces until the other one would be down or would lost consciousness or someone who had give up and now it did really become a sport and it is really that circling on streaming sites and social media.Its indeed an extreme sport which i could say that it would be more extreme than with boxing.Why?
because it do constantly been hitting up the head and with some solid slap and even though it do hits up only on the front part and not on the skull itself but the impact and vibrations could really
make out that effect which you might be facing later on.So im not really seeing this to be entertaining at all.

Just like UFC, I do not like this extreme sport. I think it is disgraceful for combat sports.  I know that a fight is a fight. But when you stand there with no defense, hands behind your back, getting slapped as you stand,
it is just disgusting to watch.  This should not be in any way promoted by UFC. If they can't stop Dana White now, they should sue him when people start suffering severe brain injuries.

Hahahahahah.....
Prolly the same thing I thought of...I know they're all trained professionals,but let's not forget that we're humans, in as much as we are, we have emotions and thoughts -- someone might easily get upset for getting bullied or slapped too hard on the wrong part, all in the process and he/she might even forget that it was a contest -- it could lead to a real fight...I know we've got referees everywhere though, that won't happen, not just easily. I don't really see it as a sports I like to watch cus I don't find anything interesting in watching people getting slaps from left, right and center...lame!!

Possible mistakes may occur because the player accidentally slaps the wrong part but does not trigger a real fight because they have the referee and the rules of the fight, it is possible that the player will be deducted or can be disqualified from the fight, the most interesting thing to watch when the player can defended and came to his senses after a heavy slap from his opponent and when he returned a heavy slap to his opponent.

Dude, this doesn't sound too nice ...I mean giving slaps to people In the name of gaming is a big-time bully - as long as I know... It's something we did way-back in our youthful times, when we had barely some provisions to cope with; then we'll go as far as getting dirty slaps from peeps that own provisions, just for a dish from their day's meal or a heavy scoop from Thier beverage pack, cookies or whatever they desired -- yes, it was a boarding home, but that was all jokes and school fun.
When I realized it was brought up professionally, I laughed hard and I seem not see the fun in that. Someone was slapped and she became unconscious, the MODs were laughing, how's that amusing??  ::)

Yeah, I already saw one of this video long time ago and the fat guy is always starring there. I think the guy is Russian. Could be true since you said it was popular in Russia. The hype then died after some time but I am surprised to see a topic like this, only to know that this sport was still active and even some betting sites already have this now.

Maybe not all games have the same rules and that is why someone can get damaged heavily but they better refrain from doing that, and if not then someone can report them to the authorities. After all, people only want to get entertained but seeing someone die or suffer badly isn't fun anymore. The audience can get guilty too.
