at first i was puzzled, then i pee'd a little :)
WHat if people donate and its not enough money? Credit towards our 10P accounts? Or maybe autographed shit from Eddie? :P
...my god. running scared.
whats that supposed to mean? im not rooting for eddie?
i wonder how much eddie makes a year
I'll drop 20 on it. If the match doesn't go down, or if we can't raise enough money, can we get refunds?
shut up!!
b4 i shove a rake up your ass!
Hold Up, Hold Up...
Is Renzo Gracie or Mario Sperry asking for this kind of money just to show up. If not, screw that. I'm down with throwing down some money but only if the winner takes all the money. I aint pitching in a dime for someone to ask for money that no one else is getting just so he can't walk away with something in the worst case scenario.
Again, I'll throw money down but only if winner takes all. Not for Royler just to show up.
Coming back to the subject,
I think Royler is trying to make this a win-win situation. If he loses, he says he will get Eddie Later, get paid $50k for rolling 10 minutes. If he wins, he gets to talk all he wants and pocket $75k for rolling for 10 minutes. He is trying to get rid of that possibility of him losing, bowing his head down, having to go explain the Gracie Council (yes it exists and is headed by Rorion's shaved mustache) wtf happened, and not even get paid.
Ah sherdog!
"Those guys on his forum are disrespectful little bitches. To say some of those things about a guy who has done the things he's done, is ridiculous.
And i also find it funny that Eddie would post this on his forum, which only gets 10th Planet fanboy traffic, instead of the UG."
I'm definately in! We need to make this happen for Eddie and for 10th Planet!
I think you guys should be more respectful, I mean you could literally take everyone in this thread and combine all their accomplishments in BJJ and it would amount to shit compared to Roylers. I realize this is Eddies forum but come on guys . .
be classy.
i'm in
There is no way Royler should get 50k just to show up, it should be winner takes all!!
Most people are saying that asking for an insane amount of money that would obviously be declined after agreeing for a rematch is preposterous... I think people are entitled to bitch about it.Quote:

If it was Eddie asking that after signing the contract, you would have been posting on forums saying that Eddie was a coward and such... but you're right RESPECT!
Can we whip up a batch of "I support the Royler Relief Fund" T shirts? Or get Renato to make a heart wrenching video appeal encouraging people to donate?
Look, it's obvious that accepting a match, then talking tough about it, then asking for more money (and an outrageous amount of money), is basically Royler's strategy to avoid taking the match. I have no respect for that kind of move and he doesn't deserve a penny - I have no desire to pay him to roll at all.
That being said, now that Royler thrown that ridiculous demand down, hoping that he won't have to step up, I love Eddie's approach - let's put the money down and literally force him to roll against Eddie....Eddie Bravo the two stripe black belt this time, not Eddie the brown belt who tapped Royler the veteran world champion out.
I'm in and we should all be in, I am 100% confident in my teacher and friend, let's make this happen!
i got 15 on it
I'll put $ down!Lets do dis!!!!.......10TH PLANET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!
i say winner gets 75k
and loser gets a ham sandwich and a pack of baseball cards
I'm in.
As much as I support 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu, I see no logic in throwing my money directly at a wealthy man when I have my own struggles to mend.
Thats a joke, bitch trick.
I've got 50 dollars to throw in. Let's do it. It's embarrassing for royler if we do it. Imagine the press. Its shame on his family. I'll donate and make "save the gi" t shirts
Can we get a link to the Paypal account so i can post it on facebook?
This is definitely just a way for Royler to back out of the match without looking like a coward. He knows that theres a good chance he wont get the 50K so he can be like "If I dont get the money I wont compete." And if for some reason he does get the 50K just for showing up, damn, that alone is more that than the Absolute or Superfight winner will get which is 40K I think. So I say forget about raising the money and just wait it out, Eddie still has the win over him and eventually, Royler will have to take the match or live with the Loss. Just my humble opinion...
No... Let Eddie raise the money! It's unbelievable, if he has all this family morals he won't take it! He has zero excuses then.
SAVE THE GI
Soon Roylers gonna ask for Olympic style blood testing.
