Frozen from the UG again...

Here is all of the leaked info/emails that confirm 100% Zuffa pays people to post on MMA forums as fans to sway the public opinion. MANY organizations do this, from politics to sports to whatever. But still... It's concrete proof that shills DO exist.

Just received this from an employee of a large independent research firm. The following is evidence from the trial of the Viacom vs. Youtube lawsuit that just wrapped up a few hours ago.

This is not a hoax, all of this has been verified.

It appears that Dana White approved of creating 'hijacked' video in order for people to 'pose as fans' and 'hammer' message boards with 'leaked video'. Don't take my word, check it out for yourself. Contact info has been blurred to protect those involved.

The mentioned episode is from TUF Season 4 entitled 'Blood Bath'. Props to Gregor for the find.

Kevin Kay is the president of Spike TV.

Craig Borsari is Executive Pres. of Vice Operations at the UFC

Chris Blechschmidt worked for Zuffa specializing in "ultimately acquiring new pay-per-view & video-on-demand subscribers for UFC televised events" according to his Linkedin profile... I'm pretty sure that's an nice way of saying paid shill.

Peter Symuleski "serves as Executive in Charge of Production for Spike TV"

Dana Blackberry... well that's obvious



Anyway, enjoy that little piece of history

 

[Greek777]

They wanted to create a viral marketing campaign, which Dana was all for.. The plan being to "hammer message boards posing as fans" along with "making the clip look as though it was leaked out by production"

One last note to keep in mind from that email. Blechschmidt notes they "have our (the UFC's) viral marketing campaign on standby"

Think about that for a minute. They have an entire group of people on call to "hammer message boards posing as fans" to get whatever point across they want. That's viral marketing.

Think about that when you're on the UG and see hundreds of pro Zuffa posts from accounts made in the last 2 months every single day.. who talk about nothing but the UFC in a positive light

Well well well how interesting, so how can i apply for said shill job should be decent pay don't you think?
If i apply i can say that i'm a member of the first 100 at this great new mma outlet called the mma community would be worth something.


By the way i guess iwei and splinty can't apply for a UFC presscard after this is being posted here, there goes your free floor tickets down the drain

Very evident when the lawsuit came out. Lots of new accounts or accounts a few years/months old with low post count all of the sudden posting in big numbers.

and most likely they are the owners of a fake youtube channel called MrUFCTrailers.

no way any video maker is going ot make sure to list all the ppv information at the end of the video unless they work for zuffa.

that way they can steal footage they dont own and put it onto a youtube video to help it go viral to sell their product. But when people like me took UFC footage for my video that sometimes went viral they would block the UFC footage and put a copyright ban on my videos. Pretty hypocritical in that sense. UFC stealing other copyright footage for their own means, but when other people do it for their videos then its an issue.

Is this it? Found this on sherdog via google.

"Zuffa Seeks Retraction of False Statements By Former UFC Owner By Cindy Ortiz on January 17, 2008 Zuffa, the parent company of the UFC, has formally requested that CNBC air a retraction concerning “misstatements and inaccuracies” regarding the Zuffa Owners’ purchase of the UFC brand and Lorenzo Fertitta’s conduct as an NSAC commissioner. CNBC recently aired a documentary entitled “Ultimate Fighting: From Blood Sport to Big Time” featuring an interview with Robert Meyrowitz regarding his role as President of Semaphore Entertainment Group (SEG), predecessor-in-interest to the Ultimate Fighting Championship brand. When discussing SEG’s need to obtain Nevada State Athletic Commission approval for mixed martial arts prior to selling the brand to Zuffa, LLC in January 2001, Meyrowitz stated: “We went out there [to Nevada], it looked like we had the votes, we were told we did, and about midnight I got a phone call that one of the commissioners had changed his mind… and it turns out that commissioner was Lorenzo Fertitta, that he had changed his mind and that we wouldn’t be able to get approval.” According to UFC President Dana White, Zuffa immediately challenged the false claims made by Meyrowitz and proof of the misstatements prompted CNBC to correct the content of the program in subsequent re-airings. While appreciative of the networks efforts to ensure the accuracy of the encore presentations, Zuffa has informed CNBC this action alone is not adequate to address the detrimental effect of the fabricated and erroneous information contained in the original broadcast. A copy of the document requesting the retraction was recently obtained by MMAFighting.com and the key elements are as follows:

That article is fucking hilarious, because Meyrowitz is telling the truth, he just cannot provide physical proof. Anyone who knows about that meeting knows it was set to be a vote to pass the UFC into Nevada. One anonymous chairman on the NSAC voted no and it swayed the vote in favor of denial. Who that NSAC member at that time? Lorenzo.

Dave Meltzer flew all the way out to Nevada when that meeting was held. Everything was changed at the last minute. UFC was denied. Meanwhile Lorenzo had started showing up backstage at the UFCs, along with Dana, who was managing Tito

Yeah, ALL of these things are a big coincidence, lol

Yup, there are several of these accounts out there. Just strange stuff. Their videos are mostly shit too.

Tiny Swole and BLAF are about as sleazy as it gets. Mafia, bully style tactics with media, fighters, and fans because the way they do business is unethical as hell.

I had never posted anywhere other than mma.tv but with my recent suspension I thought it ok to start checking out other forums.

I signed up here and I enjoy it because I know most of the guys and the small numbers make for good conversations.

I also signed up at Sherdog. I posted a few times. Still trying to figure out the forum but so far so good.

Honestly not sure I would go back to mma.tv. I know they probably don't care but it's sad that long term guys get shafted. I know it's probably good to keep an even hand on the rules but you'd think that long terms guys might have earned at least warnings due to time in on the site.

Sure it's their playground but there are also a ton of other forums out there too.

As it is, I'm going to enjoy exploring new forums and if I feel like it I might go back and check the old ones out.

Dougie, why were you suspended from there? You are one of the good guys. I missed whatever happened.

[Pitbull9]

Obviously people can do what they want but imo if you are posting here you shouldnt post there, the reason i say that is send a message that you are fed up with how shit is run and all the negative shit going on there. I know this post sounds negative lol but i am just saying

NWO 4 LIFE! WE ARE THE NWO TO THEIR WWF AND LOOK I DIDNT HAVE TO PAY MONEY TO POST A PIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.
