Massive grain of salt the size of an iceberg

**Allegedly**

Ono posted his body analytics. I cannot find the social media account these were supposedly posted to so I'm merely linking the reddit post. Do NOT take a random post that claims 64.0 with a 5.6%BF with hopes for 61/57 without a very skeptical eye. But if true that would be insane.

He posted it on his Instagram story which is why you can no longer find it

He is a pretty stout looking 61kg but also allegedly told Flo he could make 57. I think a catch weight of 59 makes sense but... That will be quite the pull for Ono

That would explain it. Good looking out!

I can't imagine that these events generate too much money, especially if they are streamed for "free" with a flowrestling subscription. I have no idea what wrestlers are looking to get paid for their participation.. $5,000? $10,000? $20,000+? I don't know how much money you can realistically generate through ads and sponsors to cover the pay for athletes, the venue, the manpower it takes to put out a legitimate broadcast, etc. Wrestling needs a Redbull type of sponsor that will dump money into an event just because it will be awesome, despite taking a financial loss.

IMO the best model if someone could figure it out financially would be to have a belt system like MMA.

Right now, we occasionally get a random production with a lot of high level guys, but at the end of the day, win/lose doesn't actually mean anything.

With a belt system, every match would matter beyond just that evening. You would have title bouts where the belt is on the line, and then the rest of the bouts would be contenders jockeying their way up the ranks in hopes of getting a shot at the title. The matches wouldn't only determine who won that day, but who holds the belt, and who takes a step closer to getting a shot at it.

Like MMA, contracts for X amount of matches would be signed and you would get to see them wrestle hopefully at least a few times a year.

Obviously this is a pipe-dream, but if somehow this could actually be established, I think it would be better for the sport than where we are at now with just Worlds/Olympics where we collectively tune-in once a year.

I think they are also counting on incremental revenue from new subscriptions generated by the event. For every thousand new subscriptions they bump revenue by $150k. I have no idea how many they have currently or how many they expect to generate with this event.

I don't know how many people would bite the bullet and pay $150 so they could watch this event. If you aren't paying $150 for all of the content you get for an entire year (the college coverage, U.S. open for all age groups, WTT for all of the age groups, final X, not to mention rankings/big board/articles etc.) than I can't imagine a couple hours of an awesome event would put them over the top. But I suppose your right. 1000 new subscribers probably isn't a lofty goal, and that is a good chunk of money to help cover the event costs. 

I have no idea, but how many wrestling fans that would be excited for the card don't already have a flo subscription?

this event could be enough to sway fairweather flo subscribers to resubscribe for a month ($29.99). 

Speaking for myself, I always wait at least a month or two after my annual subscription lapses and this usually coincides with a dual or, at the very least, an interesting flograppling event.

It won't be a Greco match, but it also will be

if he walks around at 64kg 7kg of water manipulation is not insane but would certainly be miserable.

will be an interesting gauge for PJ duke. He dogged andonian after the first 30 seconds and Gomez is an olympian so if Andonian can go with him in freestyle it makes you wonder.

Bring your popcorn for Gomez/Andonian that's going to be a fun match. They should pay them extra to open the card, the halfway point, and the closing match and all three matches would be lights out fireworks

UWW announced that Ono was going down to 57kg for Worlds this year, and CP texted him live on yesterday's FRL and Ono responded "Yes. 90%"

Can we get rid of the tech for this match-up? An early tech is the only thing I can see dampening this match-up.

[BarSeries]

Let's do 20 point tech for all matches!

if his power translates, I just don't know who is staying on the mat with him. I guess the spencer match will be a good gauge.
