David Feldman president of the BKFC organization has announced a tournament in which the top prize for the winner will be as much as $25 million.
David Feldman was the guest of Din Thomas and Alan Jouban on the MMA Today podcast. During the conversation, the head of the BKFC organization surprised the hosts with an amazing piece of information. The BFKC organization is planning a tournament, the winner of which will earn, as much as $25 million.
Feldman stressed that this is not yet official, as all details will be provided in December. The BKFC president noted that this will be the largest tournament in the history of combat sports.
– There will be an official announcement in about three weeks, however, I can already announce that we will hold a tournament with the biggest payday in the history of combat sports. A little hint, it will be $25 million. We are setting out to find exceptional fighters.
Din Thomas, who is one of the show’s hosts, immediately announced his return from retirement. Feldman accepted the news with a smile and said that both Thomas and Jouban could compete in the tournament, as it will not be closed and only current BKFC fighters will not participate.
– We will organize tests. I don’t know what the number of participants will be let’s say 1000 people. Then we will select 24 players. From this group we’ll cross out 16 and we’ll be left with eight who will compete for large sums of money. I would like to emphasize that all the players we select beforehand will also get money.
Asked who might take part in the tests, Feldman replied.
– Any competitor from any corner of the world. Competitors from all organizations are welcome with us. I think when we give you specific details most people will think it’s unbelievable that something like this will happen.
