DENSE UPDATE | WHO'S FUNDING WORLD FITNESS PROJECT? | SPIN BLOCKED BY MEDEIROS | TEAM DOTTIR AT WZA

[@jrgills]

How does the WFP plan to make money…? In-person comps are really expensive

[@DenseUpdates]

@@jrgills certainly every online qualifier will have a registration fee as well as registering for each tour event and then in person ticket sales and eventually title sponsors & media vendors etc.

[@ramblr5900]

they dont pay the winners.

"Theres gonna be weirdos watching this." Especially that Sevan guy.

[@DenseUpdates]

hahahaha. We are all a bunch of weirdos

[@stattravels8109]

Thanks for keeping us updated!

[@DenseUpdates]

You're welcome!

[@birgittamattson6154]

The WFP needs to reach out to big time sponsors like Budweiser coke and Apple. Then it will be real league

[@DenseUpdates]

Maybe they have 🤷‍♀

[@BrianForstner-zv6ot]

Sorry if it was in the original podcast but what is the role of the PFAA in the WFP? Are they nosing in that too?

[@DenseUpdates]

Will has talked to Brent and the PFAA about basic things, movement standard recommendations and such but no official partnership mentioned as of yet.

[@BrianForstner-zv6ot]

@ PFAA = 🤡 , thanks for the update. You’re the best!

[@passleycraig]

It will be interesting to see how the 40 invited athletes compete against each other and challengers. I wonder how many athletes of the original 40 invitationals earn Pro cards for 2025.

[@DenseUpdates]

Also curious what prize money will be for each Tour event. That wasn’t asked.

[@LoudAndLiveSports]

No trolling at all! You missed SoCal- it was on the beach, and went very well. Definitely wear your shoes though.

[@DenseUpdates]

I didn't miss the SoCal event, watched every minute of it! And aside from the wet floors at night with athletes sliding around and the obvious difference in spectators than you would typically see at Miami Wodapalooza, SoCal did go very well for a first year event 😎

[@thatbrickpotguy3548]

I struggle to see how this goes past 1 year 15mil aint alot to get something like this off the ground lets see if they can pull it off

[@Therealkevin87]

You are so right Dense, so many weirdos watching this 🤣🤣

[@DenseUpdates]

Hahaha. Truth we are all a bunch of weirdos

[@bobmarinaro1594]

parenting moment on point

[@DenseUpdates]

😂 This world is a strange place

[@JBoudreaux0712]

Justin is turning into the Detroit pistons of CrossFit. 2 in a row but getting lost in memory due to his attitude since he lost his edge. Coincidentally it was when he started a relationship and opened the perception that he cares more about that then winning. All that is fine but you can’t hate on the critics when you knew that was going to happen.

[@DenseUpdates]

He looked so good this year at the West Coast Classic Semifinals, he was dialed in. But then the Games happened. I am not giving up the idea of him making a valid run at it again just yet. But I am very surprised by the blocking.

[@JBoudreaux0712]

@ fair I did forget about the semis.

[@johnmccrary6712]

marketing is everything for these guys starting up their content pages

[@DenseUpdates]

They're doing good so far! Getting all the big names is a good start.

[@kalliebrock8937]

Great update! Super impressed by your sleuthing!

[@DenseUpdates]

Super Sleutherin lol

[@SweatinSixty]

This year will be interesting w WFP and CF since there’s only 3 events. When there’s 6 WFP events there is gonna be overlap. There is always the possibility that if WFP is successful, private equity will just cancel the Games rather than try and compete. And your mom mode was hilarious!

[@DenseUpdates]

Very interesting this season will be!!

[@ProustHouse]

These are great, keep'em coming you weirdo

[@DenseUpdates]

Haha we are all a bunch of weirdos for sure.

[@CapableConnie]

❤ Love your updates 😊

[@DenseUpdates]

Thank you Connie!

[@angelashoaf7150]

Another great episode! 🤍

[@DenseUpdates]

Thank you ❤

[@sebastiannai4381]

It’s not like Dave Castro is the only one who can run a competition. Rogue sets the standard. Better programming, better streaming, bigger payouts. Competition is good. Crossfit has seen no progression since forcing Greg out. Maybe this is what it needs to rise from complacency and start evolving again.

[@DenseUpdates]

The Games is hardly just any competition. I do not think the Rogue programming is better, it is simply different. The streaming was pretty amazing with the VR rooms and other options, but the major thing you got WRONG is the payouts. Each placement at Rogue down to the 9th place finisher paid anywhere from $33k to $13k less than the CrossFit Games depending on the placement..the 18th place finisher at the Games got $5k more than Rogue...and the Games not only pays the individual athletes but also the Teams, Masters and Teens.

[@SebastianoGeisert]

Great Content 👍👌 thanks 🙏

[@DenseUpdates]

Appreciate that thanks!!

[@nickruns262]

“You could just breathe in a STD…”’😂

[@DenseUpdates]

😂

[@PaulKane-pm5kb]

Business idea: selling foot coverings at the porta potties (they will be used bread bags). Gonna run this by Ms. Gillette for funding...

[@DenseUpdates]

Haha that's not a bad idea. Miami spectator traffic is 10x the amount of what SoCal was. Will be interesting to see how it all goes first year new spot.

[@Hann2323]

Why do you care who Justin and Ellie block? Dave blocks tones of people are you going to talk about that every time he blocks someone

[@DenseUpdates]

@@Hann2323 I don’t care 🤷🏼‍♀️. I just thought it was strange. I do not like CNN but I don’t block them on IG 😂

[@leonjohnstone9405]

How do I nominate Dense Updates for a Pulitzer Prize?

Hahaha

"that's how this works" 🤣

[@cyby-p6o]

Who owns CrossFit (who has money in the Berkshire fund)?

[@DenseUpdates]

Way to not make a point 😂

[@frankfoe]

@@DenseUpdatesseems to me they made a point. They just left it up to you to connect the dots.

Medeiros blocking... guess he hasn't grow up yet... just the mullet..

[@marcocaro7043]

Your investigative skills scare me.

[@YoutubeJell-yo]

“Executed, without a hitch”… does someone dying count as a hitch Dense? “The expectation is VERY high”… yeah Dense, yeah it is.

[@daveanderson4406]

good update, I bet WFP won't have teams not only is it a waste of money but boring to watch

[@christytaylor6395]

Your opinion. I actually prefer watching teams. I enjoy watching them having to work together.

[@daveanderson4406]

Obviously it's my opinion

[@christytaylor6395]

@@daveanderson4406 well it was stated as a fact. Affiliate teams go way further in the games comp process... And if rules are stricter... Teams may be what really keeps the CF games comps going. These events don't make money. They've been struggling in attendance. People show up to see their affiliates comp. I was one. It's only semi I attended. CF makes money off affiliates not off the big games athletes competing.

[@frankfoe]

Expectations might be high, but CrossFit has set the bar …. Low.

[@DenseUpdates]

False

[@frankfoe]

@@DenseUpdates way to not make a point.

[@DenseUpdates]

Frank how is that collective to buying CrossFIt going?

[@frankfoe]

@ Going great! Private Equity continues making the case for why affiliates and high-level athletes should abandon CrossFit. We will provide them an alternative that affiliated gyms will own and the revenue collected will be used to promote, defend, and differentiate the brand instead of profits for Private Equity.

[@frankfoe]

@@DenseUpdates oh also we are forming a new company and new brand.

[@Zansaldo1]

13:32 haha sand doesn’t fly into the air when storms come through.

[@DenseUpdates]

When it’s windy and I’m at the beach sand 100% flies in the air and into my face. Have your never been to the beach bro? 😂

[@YoutubeJell-yo]

Not shocked Ellie and Justin blocked spin + Sevan and crew. It’s clear they are all just completely self serving, inappropriate, disrespectful + not people that any major label would want to be associated with.

[@DenseUpdates]

Your KZbin name and your comment history that pops up tells me all I need to know about you

[@christianketler3667]

Self serving ? Sevy and crew have driven CrossFit forward, only supporting the affiliates and GIVING to the athletes. You saying inappropriate in a world where women can show they’re buttholes on insta is hilarious

[@fusiongains]

Sevan has and continues to do more for CrossFit than ANY athlete besides MAYBE Rich Froning.

[@DenseUpdates]

@@fusiongains 🙌🏼

[@Barkely3721]

This is hilarious. Have you ever watched the Barbell Spin?
