Power Slap League

[aioc]

..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.

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.

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:

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

You could also join if you want

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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

I did watch a bit. A bit boring at least for me.
Just slapping their a** until it becomes red.  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

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.

[maydna]

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.
