Brother Remy and Private Marinho....Glory would like to conquer the American market but I just don't see this happening. This is actually the same as soccer which is also not popular in USA but is the biggest sport in Europ and many Asian countries. Wouldn't it be nice if Glory, Enfusion but also the NVB would start a close cooperation or merger with Asian or Thai organizations? Then we could build towards Champions Leaguea of Kickboxing or Muay Thai. In my opinion the Asian organizations are also a lot further in terms of entertainment and don't do weird things like banning calfkicks.
You guys really don't appreciate Tarik khbabez. With all due respect to wisse i think he is a top fighter but against khbabez at once i dont see heb winning man and even against boapeah will be a tough gimma
They see Wisse because he is Surinamese as prime Badr Hari but in reality he fights maybe even more boring than Rico
Well said
The greatest Surinamese fighter for most Surinamese is Hoost and Spong. Wisse zn last matches were idd less but the matches before wsren all masterclasses....a prime Badr Hari has also grabbed 0 major titles.......0,0000
Pretty funny to see that Marinho can read the comments without points and commas flawlessly, but as soon as someone with the right interpuction posts a flawless comment, he always goes wrong hahahahah
Besides, doesn't Jamal think too highly of himself? He fired Verhoeven a few times that he can't sell out venues, but Jamal himself doesn't fill an Ahoy either. Without Verhoeven, Jamal isn't hot either. Those two need each other to fill a hall. By the way, I can't wait until Plazibat is fit, then we will finally see sensation again.
Jamal does not hold himself in high regard. People just have lives. Friday is and always will be a weekday. Seems pretty logical to me that it's hard to sell out a Friday. Besides, the fact that Friday's ticket sales went even better than Saturday's is outrageous.
Friday went better than Saturday indeed, but even Friday was far from sold out. Jamal made it seem in interviews as if he was some kind of new Badr, because he would be the only one who still gets a room full, but that turns out to be nonsense. And using as an excuse that it's a Friday doesn't work either. Now if Badr announces a match on Tuesday afternoon, Ahoy will just be full.
The difference though is that verhoeven fights for the "dutch world title" and gets a lot of exposure. Well I have barely seen anything on TV about jamal vs laidouni. Verhoeven has now even started crying on live TV. And even that doesn't attract extra viewers. You have to remember that the kickboxing world is very small. The platforms that post messages have only hundreds of visitors. The mainstream media, on the other hand, has a much larger reach. Jamal is only interesting to the media if they can ask questions about arrests, doping and rivalry with verhoeven.
Marinho and Remy
One more thing. What about Endy Semeleer?
He's at OFC (only for champions), right? How is it that Endy is not training full-time at ARJ?
Endy has a trainer to whom he is loyal. But that trainer lives in Spain and runs a bed-and-breakfast there???? What kind of amateurish thing is this? You do your management and MMA training at ARJ, but your kickboxing training you do at a small gym in flevoland and right before your fight you go to Spain? Isn't it time for Semeleer to make some decisions then? Join ARJ full time(it's an honor that you can prepare full time with Mike Polanen) they also do your management.
Think the bond endy has with brothers van veen Is strong. Endy is a special fighter also lives up to his nickname. And the last champion who fought offensively unfortunately ended up disguised against chiqo but yes. Endy seemed to be cured of the boring tick syndrome.
Got that right. But it comes across as quite odd when you see your trainer only 2 months before t fight. And then you have to go to Spain to train 1 on 1. In the beginning against easy opponents this can certainly work well. But then you get more difficult opponents. You also need good sparring partners. You will find them at ARJ. By the way, with ARJ's style, Endy would be even deadlier.
Gentlemen Marinho and Remy,
What do you guys think about critical media being barred from Glory?
Is this platform also among the media groups barred by GLORY?
Remy you have been less critical of Glory lately. Is this because you're afraid you'll soon be persona-non-grata?
glory doesn't really interest them anymore. It just ran well in those days Videoland monthly event. Rémy you hear 7 hours in that week
