i think it's very straight forward actually, i think a bunch of people at the top of ADCC are pocketing the Sheiks money and pretending they make nothing and the venue and production eat all the money. Craig is exposing these dirtbags and it's hilarious.
Gordon really is stuck with this CJI thing. If he says he doesn’t need the money, he looks like an asshole. If he says he doesn’t wanna do it because he hates Craig, he looks like an asshole. Well played Craig 😂
I heard Gordon makes almost $1 million for competing at ADCCbecause of all of his sponsors. I would love to see him go to Craig‘s tournament, but he probably has contracts where he’s not allowed to. I’m just going off what I heard on TH-cam. I don’t know if it’s right or not.
Meh, he’s 1 ADCC title away from tying Galvao at 6, so two away from having the record. I think it would be cool to see him do CJI next year since it’s going to be every year. So he could still do ADCC in 2026. I don’t think CJI needs Gordon to compete this year, it wouldn’t change much. BUT if he does it next year it would be very entertaining! Just my two cents :-)
@@andrewkirberger7930 I don’t think they said CJI is going to happened every year. - 2 million spendable cash every year for Craig is going dry him up faster than a Thai hooker.
Second best in the world baby! Losing was the best thing for his future haha. He’s playing the cards he was dealt sooo so well. Just goes to show how self aware he is. The power of higher perspective!! So many people would have been bitter about being a perpetual silver medalist but he flipped the script and now he’s literally changing the world
@@goodbyerealworld8982 Imagine being at the top of your sport in the entire world and achieve the highest level of competition, spending your entire life dedicated to this only to have to sell your medal to pay your bills. Fucking insane.
Big prizes for athletes bring attention aswell lol Didnt Mayweather lie about his prize money at least at the start so the fans/promoters viewed it as a huge spectacle with more on the the line and eventually promoters would pay him that if people started showing up to see something worth so much... I think it has merit if you can back it up.
For real though, you are a warrior man. You are such an inspiration. Out here challenging the gate keepers, prioritizing athletes, and selling underwear. You're the type of savior the world needs. All Hail King Craig Jones👑
What would reallllly be funny is if Craig put this on, pulled everyone over to his invitational and then competed in ADCC and finally got his first place! And then still did his gabby match Hahah
And legit loses to Gabi proving that not only women truly can beat men, BJJ really is the best self defense for women and that Craig truly is the B team. Craig is the most successful loser in BJJ's rich history. 2nd only to Helo Gracie for losing to Kimura and spawning a lifetime achievement award.
@@Danlovestriviumdevil’s advocate, I wouldn’t put anything Gabi does as a true win for women…not all of us are juiced to the fking gills and weigh 240 at like 6 foot tall lmao
Dude the worst part is moe just saying "easy, done" for a 10k bump 100% raise in prize money, he didn't even need to ask/consult anyone, just shows how little thought gets put into the athletes that compete
right? I have been telling you guys many times Mo is a weasel. I am sure ADCC higher-ups have been getting paid so well regardless and they just hind behind the table saying oh we are not profitable yet. Anyone who knows how business work knows thats a BS excuse not to pay its employees lol
@@andrewkirberger7930 only reason I wasn’t trying to go to adcc this year is bc I’m literally having a baby. And now I’ll _never_ go. So yeah, he fooled himself there!!!!
@@nvmm166 some clown on insta said that Bruce Buffer (who was LATE last ADCC bc he’s a pompous little man), who costs around 50-70k plus to book, was enough appeal for outsiders to watch That was the most low brain cell point I had heard in a while. No one is paying for flo to see Bruce Buffer 💀
I just wanna say that I support you Craig and if you have to have members pay to watch the live stream I will definitely do it. let's make a change!!!!!
Sponsors are excited by provable data, not arena size. I wouldn't be surprised if the arena change and image that comes from that was more about them being able to get more when they sell the brand later. They're literally building ADCC brand at the expense of the competitors. Its the same play most businesses seem to run these days. Pump the business at expense of workers.
Gonna take a few wild guesses on the secret competitor. Either a legend like Roger, Galvao or Marcelo for a superfight. Or Bo Nickal for +80kg and Volk for -80kg. This is getting fun!
I’m def thinking at least one or two more UFC fighters are going to be announced. And you’re right it could def be any of the Brazilian legends. Gracie’s, Galvaos…. Shoot maybe it’s Filipe Pena 😂 maybe ALL of them join haha fuck it
Mo can still up the pay but doesn’t want to? And him saying having the event at T mobile arena “legitimatizes” the event, Was it not legit before? I don’t get his logic about that. I think CJI and UFC Fight Pass have the right idea. UFC just doing super fights basically and CJI can basically do that by enticing high level talent to switch from ADCC to CJI.
Also, I have a feeling that ending was probably a very popular MMA fighter and if it is my guess is John Jones. He said the world is going to go crazy. The world does not know about all these popular jujitsu fighters outside of the B-team, but they know of very popular MMA fighters. So I’m just guessing a MMA fighter.
Motar is an idiot. Craig isnt lying about the 20k. Every other major BJJ comp pays $20k+ and they are not being mentioned in this whole ordeal. I'm pretty sure if ADCC paid the same as other comps and not HALF AS MUCH, none of this would be an issue. Mo can lie all he wants but we aren't dumb. I don't even train BJJ either. I'm just a fan/spectator(yes, we really do exist).
I love Craig and he is definitely the most entertaining man in grappling. People are missing the point with CJI and ADCC profitability, though. Mo is trying to turn ADCC into a sustainable business where athletes are paid out of revenues generated by sponsors and viewership - and I think his point about booking T Mobile to increase both is valid. CJI is funded by a one-time donation of 1M dollars, and they are not charging for viewership or admission (as far as I know) and I don’t believe they have sponsors, meaning they are not generating revenue to invest back into future events. I am a huge Craig and B Team fan. I just hope this doesn’t deal a mortal blow to ADCC and then fail to provide a similar platform moving forward due to its lack of a sustainable business model.
Can you get these in a playlist where they are just the . Thinking of the more casual fan here, and the views will be better. Or pin them at the top until the tournament is over if that's possible
Craig's already doubled the women's ADCC prizepool. True feminist hero!
Yes! And if you don't agree, you're a bad person! Got em!
it's crazy that the dude from ADCC said "it doesn't mean anything to me, easy". Why didn't you fairly compensate prior to CJI then??? LOL gottem.
Unironically
@@Frenchieeeee yep, already hoisted himself by his own petards in record time
Craig has done more for women than 99% of female feminists in the last 20 years. He should receive a Nobel Peace buttplug.
Im not even a grappler but im fully invested in this
Same.
Craig really went from leader of B-team, to the leader of the A level tournament.
Well played.
Someone said you been saying that for 5 years and craig did it in 5 days 😂 he had no answer for it 😂😂
He said it’s “complicated”😂
i think it's very straight forward actually, i think a bunch of people at the top of ADCC are pocketing the Sheiks money and pretending they make nothing and the venue and production eat all the money. Craig is exposing these dirtbags and it's hilarious.
@@CultofIndecision8 "complicated" and "easy"
he is a rat
we need Gordon to openly be interrogated about CJI
Everyone knows Gordon is scared
He’ll throw a hissy fit on camera 😂
The Hollywood Fix would take that upon themselves
Seeing him awkwardly say good things about the pit at Karate Combat while knowing Craig is using a pit was quite funny
Last I seen, Gordon Ryan was pretty sick, looks sick too. Hope he recovers if he hasn't already.
Gordon really is stuck with this CJI thing. If he says he doesn’t need the money, he looks like an asshole. If he says he doesn’t wanna do it because he hates Craig, he looks like an asshole. Well played Craig 😂
And if Gordon goes in and wins Craig still wins! Gordon will talk mad shit but Craig wins the fucking the war.
I heard Gordon makes almost $1 million for competing at ADCCbecause of all of his sponsors. I would love to see him go to Craig‘s tournament, but he probably has contracts where he’s not allowed to. I’m just going off what I heard on TH-cam. I don’t know if it’s right or not.
If he enters it, He then works for Craig and that would be pure Sodium

Thank Craig. For taking the big names away from the ADCC, and letting the lesser known names shine.
Craig is putting his life on the line for athletes pay. Stay strong Craig.
really hope craig pulls CJI off, game changing shit
it's defo marcelo coming back
I don’t know why they wouldn’t. Craig is a top athlete with good connections, if anyone can pull it off it’s him.
@@thelastchimpagainst a kid or another veteran like him? Marcelo should go up against Danaher just to make sure Gordon loses his own mind 😂

hope Craig follows up with an aggressive lawsuit
I liked the interview with Ffion, and her solo video about leaving ADCC was great - join the CJI rebellion!
love what you are doing for the sport

Makes you semi relevant in a niche sport that only the practitioners watch
Most people only looking to become semi relevant because it can pay for their families . Not everyone wants the fame/name, they just want the check.
Craig has a bigger audience just as himself than adcc...
