HeHitsMeBecauseHeLovesMe - Woah, people shouldn't be talking sit on Facebook yet. They have had 10+ posts about it, have deleted every post, and not said anything about it being a rumor. Everyone is also blocked from posting on the page again. You can email them at: info@htfu.com Facebook: HTFU clothing |

He didnt respond to me on Twitter, but that does not mean he's the guy.
Take it easy with the hate emails. |

The funny things is that whilst the sponsor may not have seen an immediate return from this fight, they will certainly lose business after this even if they do make the payment Smart business move! :/ |

This is utterly disgusting If this douche thinks sponsoring a guy who loses a fight against another top level fighter is going to hurt his business, then wait and see the damage that this is going to do to his custom once the name gets out. I thought it was either htfu or Fuji from the start, but it's been confirmed NOT to be Fuji, so I apologise for my suspicion. DFX are the manufacturers of Powerball, which is a well known product, so I doubt it'd be them. Even if it's NOT htfu (and I'm pretty sure it is) that Mark Gingrich seems like a proper bellend. I'd never once heard of the company before this, and he seems a proper gimp. |

Is that normal for a fighter to accept a post-dated check? Isn't the idea to get money up front to pay for training, living, travelling other expenses? How do you accept a post dated check with out spelled out conditions? |

SE555 - There are a lot of shady people in MMA and you dont really know who is on the level and who is not. My guess is, they assumed this guy was legit and didnt think twice about it.

Either way that HTFU guy seems like a complete idiot.

SE555 -If they pays the fighter up front, how can they assure the fighter wears their patch on his shorts or their shirt on fight night. I'm not exactly sure how it works, i can see it from both sides.

"I will not comment on Rick and his fight. …but it only holds weight if he wins or puts on a good show. Neither happened. " That was in the same paragraph lol

Hocky Balboa -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.I would think that Condom Depot of all sponsors, would keep you from making a deposit. I'm also pretty sure that 'pulling out' of sponsorship is against their mission statement :) |

Im holding back until we know for sure.
HTFU is not confirmed, probable, but not confirmed. Witch hunting will be counter productive.
