THE GREATEST GRAPPLING MATCH EVER: Kade Ruotolo vs. Andrew Tackett | Craig Jones Invitational

@@MrHamncheezsomething I really question. While I like CJI as a competitor to ADCC, it isn’t proven yet and like you said it’s totally reliant upon a wealthy backer

[@rufioswitch2132]

@@MrHamncheezgetting 3.1 million views so far, just on the live stream, plus all the additional clip views, insta clips, podcasts etc etc… means advertisers will jump all over this next year. There’s never been this much reach. OR … ADCC changes their model, puts it on KZbin, strips back the overspend on venue and pyrotechnics and pays athletes well. I would guess CJI comes back next year with big sponsorship money though and the heavyweight division is stacked. It’s not an ADCC year so you can imagine the lineups will be crazy and I would also expect 3 or even 4 male divisions next year!!!

[@MrHamncheez]

@@rufioswitch2132 even 5 million views isn't enough to pay out 3 million in prize money, let alone the rest of the cost of production.

[@rufioswitch2132]

@@MrHamncheez I’m not talking about getting paid for the views from KZbin, the event sponsors pay based on viewership too. This is the biggest ever watched live event in BJJ history by a long way, it will get multiple millions in sponsorship alone next year plus ticket sales. I would guess they will easily do 20,000 tickets next year, so probably $3million in ticket sales alone. Remember they didn’t have long to market this and people had already bought adcc tickets.

This was one of the greatest matches I have EVER seen!! Absolutely incredible

I'm not a big BJJ fan but I watch some big matches from time to time, usually not much fun. I started having more fun watching grappling on OneFC but here we are on a different level, I watched 24 hours of streaming without ever getting bored. Thanks CJ

this is one of the best bjj fights ive ever seen, so not boring and fast paced unlike the others

The alley, open scoring, and lack of points-for-position make this high energy version of jiujitsu possible. *This* could gain wider appeal in a way that a snooze fest like two people collar tying each other for 10 minutes to avoid being scored on cannot.

Andrew Tackett is the Man! Congrats on Fight of the night! One hell of a production, CJI2!!!

[@radwani]

This was the best match in history. Period.

Recovering from shoulder surgery and watching this match live was a total threat to my rotator cuff - impossible to sit still watching this match! What a scramble!!!!

[@DominicanRepublictravels]

Amazing display of athleticism, conditioning, skill, and sportsmanship. Tired of the butt sliding grapplers.

This truly was the greatest BJJ match of all time! Tackett should have gotten the 50 grand prize in my opinion. This match was the highlight of the event.
