Fedor & CroCop out of Pride

[BJJ Fighter]

Things are getting even messier in Japan as Pride has produced a contract signed by Fedor Emelianenko which is an exclusive deal through October. This is going to court. Management of Emelianenko and Mirko Cro Cop are saying that neither will ever work for Pride again.
Angeblich wollen die beiden in Zunkunft nur noch für Inoki antreten- keiner von beiden kämpft an der Pride Silvester Veranstaltung- ein schlechtes Zeichen.

K1 zahlt wahrscheinlich besser, um seine neuen MMA events zu promoten. Oder???

Oh man :( ! Hoffentlich wird es trotzdem einen Kampf zwischen den beiden geben. Wenn es Pride nicht organisiert dann bitte jemand anders *aufdiekniefall* :verbeug:

Pride+K1 attacked Inoki first /Ken Imai=Ninja/ tax scandal America/
Pride and k1 attacked Inoki first/ Ken Imai =ninja/ America tax scandal


Lets see what really happened in Japan.

Inoki was the only promoter who promoted on new years evening.
Inoki was the guy in prowrestling but who started a show called wrestle 1?
K-1 and Pride did, who was fighting, Hoost and Bob Sapp in prowrestling.
Pride and K-1 could not stick to MMA they are just to greedy.
They want to have everything, which resulted that all three organisations
are now promoting on New years Evening because the Inoki viewing rates beat
all records las year!

K-1 and Pride were working together in the beginning of this year but Ken
Imai fucked everything up.
He took Mirko to Pride when he was no longer working for K-1. Pride at that
time told people involved, that they did not know when Mirko was offered
Ken Imai was no longer with K-1 (Ken Imai stole big amounts of money as
president from K-1 America, for example officially Stefan Leko, Mark Hunt,
Ernesto Hoost, Remy Bonjaski, Peter Aerts, Mike Bernardo and others have
been fighting for $50,- each (less 30% withholdings tax so $35.- netto, shit I
wish they came fight for me for that money, I became a promoter instantly)in
Las Vegas , this is public information please check if you do not believe
this May 2nd 2003 Mirage Hotel Casino, hell the whole fighting card costed
$16814, for the American tax that is! check also 17Th of August 2003) All
this is public and can be ask for at the Nevada State Athletic commission.

Fedor has told his new manager that he never signed a contract with Pride
but only with his former manager, the only paper he signed for pride was for
merchandise. Fedor is good friends with Igor, Igor fought 19 times for Pride
and was the worst paid fighter of almost every pride fighter. If you are
Russian and you are used to fight for peanuts in Russia, it is a lot of
money what you can make in Japan. But when you are the champion and you
still make 4 till 5 times less then a lot opponents you beat and after some
time you find out, who would not be pissed? Fedor wants to fight everywhere,
like Miro Cro Cop, Fedor wants to fight Cro Cop next year , no problem, if
this fight will be promoted by Inoki, Pride, K-1 or god himself!

As a promoter you want to make money, nothing wrong with that, that's
business but when you are a promoter and you surround yourself with people
like Ken Imai (ninja on this forum by the way) and Kawasaki and other scum,
they should blame themselves for doing business with these thieves and rats
who will destroy what the promoter build up in years. They will talk thrash
and shit about everybody except themselves, they will tell the promoter how to
spend money and especially how to put money from the promoter in their
pockets! They do not care about loyalty , but go which wherever they think
they can get more money. They do not care about fighters or anybody else,
except themselves!

Ken Imai, will not be around anymore for a long time, in Japan K-1 wants
him because he stole millions from K-1 America and it will not take so long
till the IRS America will find out about Ken Imai screwing around with the
withholding tax in Nevada.

Official statement by Mirko Cro Cop!
Dear fans I'm sorry to inform you that Mirko won't be fighting on December the 31st. I have posted this short press realase on the official website (mirko-crocop.com) early this morning, Croatian time.

Here comes the fficial statement by Mirko:

"Today, I, Mirko Cro Cop, have an important message to announce.

I have decided not to participate in any event as a fighter on Dec. 31st.
I have been adviced by my physician, Dr. Bucan, to refrain from intense training for 2 weeks and to allow my back to recuperate from injury that has been bothering me for a while. I have decided to take his advice seriously this time and to nourish my body in order to fully recover and to prepare for 2004.

From now on I will be communicating with any promoters directly, for year 2004. offers.

I will be totally fresh mentally and physically next year, and I will fulfill my promise to become the champion and meet your expectations.
Thank you very much for all of your support.

Sincerely,
Mirko Cro Cop"
