To start I want to thank you guys on here for giving myself and XFA a warm welcome. For that I will talk straight with you guys without any politics or public spin. I have one major gripe with MMA. Other promoters will attest to this as well but might not want to say it. I am sick of this Pre-madonna Attitude that some of the fights exihibit. I will speak for me personally I put figthers up in the Ramada on Singer Island. $150 a night hotel I also make any provisions that they might need while here. And yet I still get this piss-poor my **** don't stink attitude from some fighters. One in particular. Some figthers assign managers to negotiate thier contracts and when they get to the weigh-in they want to re-negotiate because they are supposed to have such a stong following. Some fighters recieve belts when they never even fought for it. Some fighters who didn't even fight on the night in question steal 2 pairs of gloves and have the nerve to call the promoter unprofessional. This particular fighter may have even recieved his payment before everyone else got paid even though he did not fight. This fighter may have the balls to call the promoter demanding $80 or threatning to go on the internet and bash the promoter. This has become a new and growing trend, bach the promoter who has done everything minus selling his blood to make sure all figthers got paid in a timely fashion. Well there has been another growing trend I have noticed people calling for the promoters to get in the ring. I say you are absolutely right. It's time for some of you jerks who think us promoters have never fought before to step up. And for the figther in question you know who you are. Yeah I outweigh you by about 100lbs. But since your mouth has talking about 100lbs or **** I think that we are even. So in closing I am tired of being Mr. Nice guy to some of you ungrateful *******s. I'm tired of being polically correct and most of all tired of holding my tounge. You want to settle this then you and I can settle this crap any day of the week. My schedule is now cleared for you. You now have my full attention. And if their is a problem about our weight classes don't worry Mike Foland has already let me know he will be happy to come down to Florida to strip your sorry ass of the belt. People talk about making bad promoter threads then start a ***** Ass Fighter Thread. And for the figther in question don't worry about internet trash talk because I will be in contact with you tonight. You see I want to settle this **** NOW!

I have to agree with the Canadienne on that one.

Man I'm telling you guys now I've heard everything. Us promoters go through so much bull**** to put on a fight I mean you must really love MMA to promoter here in florida where it's such a blatant discrimination against MMA. I put myself out there everytime I put on a show. I don't have the money of some of the other promotions. I'm just a regular guy trying to promote a fight. I don't have a fraction of the money of the other shows. All I got is the will and drive to make a good show out of nothing. Another promoter and friend asked me why do you do so much for the figthers. I never really though about that until now. Am I bitter Hell Yes! I WILL STATE THIS FOR EVERYONE TO READ. AT THE LAST SHOW XFA DID COME UP SHORT WHEN IT WAS TIME TO PAY THE FIGHTERS. BUT GUESS WHAT EVERY FIGTHER WAS PAID IN FULL NO LATER THAN 4 DAYS AFTER THE EVENT! Not even 24 hours after the event there were posts on MMA about me the thread read Sean Thompson = Levine II. I wasn't that pissed about that because at that point I had not paid them so when the person posted that as far as he knew he was stiffed. Just wish I could have explained to him what was going on prior to the Sean is the DEvil hate mail started. But this **** I will not exuse this fighter says he has not yet bugun to trash talk me yet. To that I say this. "Begin *****!" You think your the baddest figther in florida. Well Fight me next and lets see how bad you really are. All I have to say is I am so proud of our new XFA Middleweight Champion. He got $1420 thus far for just getting into the ring and accepting a belt he didn't fight for and then has the nerve to call me this morning and threaten me for $80. Might I add that I went to his room at 7am the morning after the fight to pay him and he still has the balls to demand anything. This ***** ass fighter stole 2 pair of the fight gloves which incidentally are $40 retail a piece. So how bout it Champ how bout fighting Me tonight or Foland at the Next XFA Event! If not have my belt tonight when I go to Ft. Pierce to confront you. You ask why aren't you on the internet yet. You haven't fought for the belt yet dummy. If I am talking **** then tonight I'm giving you the chance to shut my mouth.

Go Suge Knight on his ass Mr. Chairman!

Damn, getting angry!

This is some interesting controversy, Sean. I would kick the **** outta him myself if I was you. This guy is a middleweight? I got plenty of guys who could run a train on his ass and mentally and physically rape him. give me the word. plenty of fighters out there that would'nt mind taking... and EARNING that ****in belt from that punk.

i can understand a fighter's frustration on being pissed about not getting paid in full. maybe they need to be MEN and confront you..... ON A PROFFESSIONAL LEVEL, and i am sure everything would have been solved and settled, Instead, you have some of these half-pint fighters who are going on the internet and going from a MAN and FIGHTER......................... to a lame, gay ass, unconfrontational, scared, keyboard warrior. **** them all. talk is cheap and so are arguments on the internet. Promoters get thumbs up from me... without them... we would not have a show.

On this story, Sean.... i can understand both sides and the frustrations. However, this fighter did not handle this **** proffessionally. Which in turn means that they are NOT proffessional fighters. Anyone can fight.... but if you want to be a jackass... take that **** to the street. THIS AIN'T THE ****IN STREET, so these mother****ers need not act like that. IF they do... they gets no ****in respect.

Great to hear the other side of an often heard story...Thanks Sean for showing us the 'other' side of these issues.

Hope it can all be sorted and this dude quits slandering your name

ya tell em how it is

**** id fight for free

This is what i figure.

If C... nevermind names here.

He didn't even fight he should be glad he even got money. if he was gonna get paid he should have only got 1/2 is that much he didn't even clench his fist. **** him.

I understand that i wasn't the easiest person to deal with when i was there but at least i fought (with an injury and i didn't ****in cry).

hey Sean, my shoulder is healing up at the moment and i'm gonan talk to Edson to see when i can fight. Hopefully around June i'll be good to go.

this needs a TTT for Sean

thanx Ben I think everyone knows who I'm talking about. I drove to Ft. Pierce and confronted him we almost ended up scrappin in the parking lot of some gas station. But lets just say this fighter will get his chance to earn his belt with his next fight. and lets just say in his next figth he doesn't have to worry about cutting weight.

So he is goin with the heavy weight title holder?

is it gona be Belt for Belt?

Beat him like he stole something, cause in fact he did.
