WCL: Saturday Night Fights


Recommended Posts

Mack's Sports Bar

Chicago, IL

January 1998

 

 

As I was making the rounds at the bar, I heard the patrons cheering and yelling at one of the big screen TVs. Intrigued, I walked over to the sounds of the cheering. On the screen were two guys fighting in a cage, one of those so-called "ultimate fights".

 

"Hey Mack," Terrill called me over "what do you think of this MMA stuff?" Looking at the match on TV, I replied "I hear those kinds of fights are taking off? Where the hell is Demarcus at?"

"He's getting us some more beers," Terrill said. A minute later, Demarcus came with two Budweisers for him and Terrill, and a Brisk iced tea for me. As we were drinking and watching the fights. I said "While this MMA stuff taking off like hotcakes, how about we hold some fights of our own at this abandoned warehouse I just bought a while back."

"Are you serious, Mack?" Terrill asked.

"Of course I'm serious," I answered

"But Mack," Demarcus "where in the hell we gonna find guys willing to beat the crap outta each each other?"

"Demarcus bro, who says we gonna find guys? I said with a slight smile.

"Are you saying what I think you're saying, Mack?" Terrill wondered.

"Guys, If we tried to take on GAMMA, we'll be out of business in a heartbeat. No guys, we'll combine good matches plus a little sex appeal. By having a women's only promotion, we'll make a huge ton of money, and not worry about GAMMA signing away our fighters."

 

With that, a huge smile formed on all three of our faces.
