UnderGround Forum >> Rick Hawn Ripped Off by BFC 85 Sponsor

So its DFX?

I understand you cant say much about who it is because of said lawsuit, but is there any chance he could be a relative of a former Speaker of the House during the Clinton years? :)

Where'd I leave my pitchfork.....?

What happened to Spencer Fisher and Shane Carwin?

HeHitsMeBecauseHeLovesMe - It's probably htfu, they seem lame.

Mike Russell -

HeHitsMeBecauseHeLovesMe -  Its fuji sport.

No it isn't. FS is awesome.

 

I just got succesive texts from the (non) sponsor -- one of him calling me an idiot and another telling me he wants Rick to take down his Tweet and for both of us to get on the phone to work things out and then he'll pay up. We gave him until 5:00 today to reverse the stop payment on the check or face a lawsuit and possible fraud charges.

He told us he doesn't comply with demands. Apparently he does when he realizes that his name will be mud.

HeHitsMeBecauseHeLovesMe - It's totally htfu, i just checked out their whole site and I'm convinced. They are really douchey.

I'm inclined to feel the same way. Did you find Hawn on their site anywhere though?

It's possible they took him off the site after the statement was released.

HTFU Doesnt have Hawn on their Athletes page currently...

HeHitsMeBecauseHeLovesMe - Here's a little more about HTFU

"Nobody gives it to you... You have to take it..."
10 words and and a phrase I've literally built my entire life around, proclaims Gingrich And it's these 10 words that become the core foundation of the brand you see today. It is the standard of how we do business and it is a mindset that will set us apart from the rest. -Mark Gingrich

Established in 2009, the goal of HTFU was to bring to market, a brand and lifestyle that personified the lives of an elite athlete. A 4-letter acronym that summed up how those athletes might deal with adversity and triumph set forth before them... It is with those stipulations and beliefs HTFU was born.

And who better to bring that concept and idea to life than visionary turned Founder and CEO, Mark Gingrich. An entrepreneur in every sense of the word, Gingrich does not take his job lightly. A firm hand in every aspect of the business, Gingrich plays the most integral role in HTFU’s success. A person whom never settles, never tires and never wavers from his beliefs...the development and growth of HTFU is in good hands.

Over time, HTFU will develop and bring with it an interpretation, style and culture not seen in any other brand today. And while its impact and reach may encapsulate other facets of industry and life, the company will always maintain that one simple distinction from anyone else…HTFU is a lifestyle first, built on the principles of what brought us here, and a brand second."

And a little more about their fearless leader, Mark Gingrich.

"Gingrich is the CEO of HTFU LLC, which he founded in 2009. Mark is responsible for setting the overall direction and product strategy for the company. He leads the design of HTFU”s vision and oversees the foundation of its core business structure and development for the future. Gingrich’s academic background lies in technology, his sports background in a multitude of disciplines and a business mindset that cannot be taught. The combination of all three has allowed for the vision and creation in the brand you see today."

...and more

"Everything you need to know about Mark Gingrich is personified through HTFU. It has literally become a reflection of his life...both past, present and future.

Perhaps the word "relentless", best exemplifies Mark Gingrich's approach to business, athleticism, and life in general. By definition, relentlessness is "showing or promising no abatement of severity, intensity, strength, or pace"...and from the earliest of years, Mark has demonstrated an unmatched work ethic and a nonstop pursuit of his ambitions. Whether it is in his quest to better himself as an athlete, or the creation and success of HTFU, Mark Gingrich clearly shows no sign of stopping anytime soon."

eh, I straight up asked him on Twitter. We'll see how it turns out. Better to just straight up ask than to speculate.

Wow... We have a winner. Start flaming the fuck out of HTFU.

IDOHARM - How fucked up would that be if every sponsor could just back out when a fighter lost. That's not the way this shit works. Condom Depot would never do that.

Chill out guys. Don't jump the gun on this. We don't want Rick to lose legit sponsors because we guessed the wrong company.
