Power Slap League

[South Park]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

You need to have certain skills to get slapped and not be in hospital  , 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.

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.

Is there no separation or weight divisions just like on boxing in between fighters or slappers?  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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

[goinmerry]

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.

[Darker45]

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.

[LogitechMouse]

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.

[Oasisman]

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.

[Daltonik]

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.

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.

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?

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.

[OgNasty]

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.

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.

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.

[piebeyb]

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
