Kickstart fund M3, big success, funders come back
I think the costs far outweigh the returns with Metamoris though. The production costs, competitors fees, all that bullshit they send out like those fucking 'invitational belts' etc LOL. Fucking sending them to guys like Ariel Helwani LOL FFS Ariel doesn't give the slightest shit about Metamoris or jiu jitsu. Just stop wasting money on unnecessary shit.
The sad thing is, the Eddie Royler match would have warranted all that stuff. Not saying Aoki vs Gracie wasn't a match to get excited about but it wasn't some historic 10 years in the making much anticipated super fight. No matter how much Ralek tried to push it as '60 years in the making' fans didn't even consider that as a match until Metamoris had announced it. Bravo vs Gracie 2 would blow it out of the water. That is the match EVERYBODY wants to see. We can see high level mma guys go against high level grapplers like the Aoki vs Gracie match at adcc or whatever.
I just don't see jiu jitsu ever becoming a spectator sport, hence why competitors will always have to pay quite a bit of money to compete. But there is that 1 match that would sell big numbers. Bravo vs Gracie 2.
