Title: Pride's 3rd U.S. show Cancelled
Post by: Scimowser on March 05, 2007, 03:06:48 PM
probably common knowledge by now but should be a good thread for debate. Apparently it all comes down to an argument over money between certain sources, and its a hell of a shame. The 2 cards to date have been a breath of fresh air and showcased some of Prides best talent, i was looking forward to seeing another dominating display from the company.

Thoughts.............

Screwing Fishman was a bad idea.  He is the reason that Pride is not back in Vegas.  He would have been a great owner.

If Pride staged an open-weight tournament in Vegas then it may prompt the UFC fans to demand it from Dana. Now that would be worth paying through the nose for

DSE screwing their former US President Ed Fishman pretty much guaranteed that they will not have another show in Nevada.  Fishman has deep pockets and would have been a great owner of Pride.  Too bad, two competitors operating out of Vegas would have been great for the sport.
