Is Rizin in financial trouble?

With jerry millen gone which shocked me, is Rizin trouble. I have heard the ratings for Rizin 5 did not do that great, hope they are doing fine, and Rizin continues

Millen going is a blessing. he's not qualified to run any mma org.... FACT!

how can you say that, seems people just dont like millen cause of what other fighters are saying. I just hope RIZIN is going great and has a bright future. RIZIN has brought the fun back into MMA and any loyal Pride fan should be a fan of RIZIN.
hope we get some positive updates soon

That was unexpected. He was doing well with Rizin. I wonder what the issue was and if it had to do with Fedor.

Who knows why Jerry left could be something simple as in family commitments or something .As for rizin 5 not doing well I enjoyed it but rizin big shows are primarily towards the end of the year i guess we will see how the next show does .

That's right, this April and last year's April show didn't do as well and were not stacked up as well either. In July the BW tournament starts so I hope they go back to the free stream or get a TV deal. There shows in the fall and on NYE are excellent.

he doesnt have a good rapport with others. ranello/bas/ quadros say the same things about him

he changed pride fc when he came in. he's not qualified to run an org sorry

Not only that but MilesAbove (from Sherdog forums) said there were rumors of international fighters having their payments delayed. I also haven't heard anything new from them in like a month, what's going on?

Also why are people saying they "hope" they get a TV deal? Don't they have one with Fuji.

I am concerned.

There next event is scheduled in July with the opening round of the BW GP. I think we should hear more news on that soon. Their ratings and audiences have been good so they should be alright.

They do tend to keep quiet before an event but they make it count when they do as for the rumor we would have heard something by now the zombies and the zombie media would've had a field day with it .The ufc and its followers will try and find anything about about a rival organization and blow that bit up in sense turning a mole hill into a mountain.

Yeah, that's exactly what they do every time.

^^^You guys have lifted my spirits.

They still have the Fuji deal right?

Yes, they still have the deal with Fuji. They announced some solid GP participants and other fights today for their event in July.

Yup heard about that, hope more fights get announced.
