Power Slap League

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.

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.

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.

[ryzaadit]

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.

[dothebeats]

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..

[Sandra_hakeem]

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."

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.

[bitbollo]

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?

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,

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).

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.

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.
