Mateo and Eric – you guys are right that the Fans Votes are a mix of a popularity contest and a vote of people that have hopefully been to a lot of fights. In response to that, we also are awarding a second award in every category titled Critics Choice Awards. You can see the link to it on the homepage here as it scrolls across the top as the main story.

The premise of it is that each promoter and matchmaker gets 1 vote. Then each gym gets two votes (I sent out the emails yesterday. Mateo, it should have gone to your email address and Eric it should have gone to Kristy’s email address). The deadline for replying to the emails is Sept 1 at noon. Once I receive all the emails I will count them and figure out the winner based on the Critics Awards and those winners will also receive a plaque and be rewarded at the banquet on Sat, Sept 12.

Amazingly, this awards banquet has already received more than 16,000 total votes! It’s obviously something that is being taken serious by many and a lot of people are excited about it. I think 95% of the comments about it have been positive, so hopefully it stays that way.

Of course any business venture that any of us do needs to be tweaked a little bit as time goes on, but I think we’re onto something good here that will be around for years to come!

Thank you guys so much for your support. Jose

I would have to agree with Mateo and several other “Posters”. I think this is great for the sport, but in its current form it really is just an internet popularity contest. Maybe in the coming years this will become a insiders vote award ceremony. Always growing and evolving I think it is a great start and no matter what happens it should produce a good turn out and possibly bring the fight community a little tighter.
