Rep Power: 100 | | | what would you want to see in fightsport magazines? ever since the internet makes it possible to see fights from all over the world live and right at home, the need to cover them in a mag is greatly diminished
so ,what would you (seriously) want to see in a magazine that would make you buy it?
this is not for yet another martial arts magazine
but a magazine dedicated to fighting sports...

Rep Power: 100 | | we're trying to get Royal Rumble back on track on the Dutch market again
it was the best and most beautiful fight sports "glossy" mag on the market
but over here it's still hard to find good advertisers since fighting sports are still associated with drug dealers, criminals etc.etc...
so we have to make it a little bit cheaper
I also would like to bring more stuff to get readers
stuff that you won't find on the internet normally
this is the website of the mag: Home

Rep Power: 220 | | | What would I want to see?
I'd like more Detailed Training Regimens that goes into Diet, Cardio/Physio, Applications so I can see what other Pro's use and if it would work for me.
It might also be useful to have a "Noob Watch" section for promising up and coming fighters, that way you can keep an eye on them as they either make it or break it |

Rep Power: 100 | | | good thinking guys
keep 'em coming
I was also thinking about getting each month one subscriber to train with one of their hero's
shouldn't be to hard to make that happen here
the country's small and everyone knows everyone in this little scene
also a column about fighters and their tattoos
at the risk of sounding corny I think that might be interesting
all fighters are tattooed these days and behing every tattoo there's a story
that will give you new insights of your fav fighter you otherwise would never have had

Rep Power: 100 | | | might work better for a normal Martial Arts magazine tho....
fightsport gyms have to be able to get some good fighters in the ring or there's not must use in going on right?

Rep Power: 160 | | | I go with good equipment reviews. Be honest, test stuff to absolute destruction in imaginative ways, and it's a source of sponsorship, readers, and generates general interest.
Oh yeah, lifestyle stuff. Bikes, cars, even restaurants that welcome fighters, bars and pubs near popular fight venues, more sponsorship and more general readers. If nothing else you should get yourself some free movies and guarantee a space in the VIP lounge at a few clubs.
