Lets get Wackbag or O&A to sponser Joe Lauzon in his next fight

[chutzd]

So tonight I watched the UFC fight night and Terry Martin was sponsered by Man-Douche-Cow. Joe Lauzon, who is suppose to be a fellow wackbagger is fighting next in Jersey at UFC 78 on November 17th. How about Wackbag or O&A sponser him in his next fight and get our name on his trunks. I'm willing to throw in some money. J-Lo if you're on here, how much to get wackbag.com on your trunks?




...MOD NOTE...You may now donate here: http://www.wackbag.com/donate.php

[Hoagie]

That would actually be pretty cool. I'd pitch in.

[BaLZaC~308]

dont think the boys would go for it for some reason but I am so down for this

[chutzd]

dont think the boys would go for it for some reason but I am so down for this

Why not, they've had UFC fighters in there before and have promoted UFC fights before? Op, Ant, make this happen. It's in Jersey so you know a lot of people would get behind him.

[sniper]

dont think the boys would go for it for some reason but I am so down for this

Seconded, qft, x2

[BaLZaC~308]

dude i would love it if they boys would do it but they know about Joe and never had him on and it be one thing if OnA put the money up themselves (which I dont see happening) but there is no way they are gonna get cbs or xm to fork over what... a few g's.

I would love it if they did but if this is gonna happen I think we have to do it

[chutzd]

I just send a message to Joe on Myspace asking him what it would cost or what we have to get to get wackbag or o&a on his trunks, I'll let you know what he says

[chutzd]

I really don't think it'll be a that much, i mean he's only gonna make between 2-5k for the fight probably and double that if he wins. If man douche can do it, it can't be that much

[sniper]

yeah but it's a tax write off for him, it's the only advertising he can get these days.

well here's what you do...


1. contact joe and/or his management and get a figure

2. email EVERYONE from the show, danny, than, steve etc.

3. If 2 fails PM the mods here and let them know the price and the deadline

4. set up a paypal account



remember november isnt far off, alot of people here are lazy so they need a few weeks to make anything happen

i have that plan, but it's in my drunken head right now. When I get to work tomorrow, I 'll get all that shit done.

[seeinred]

I'd be more than down to pitch in to get Wackbag on his trunks. Let's make this happen for real!

[BaLZaC~308]

personally I would prefer to see wackbag than OnA on his trunks

[chutzd]

personally I would prefer to see wackbag than OnA on his trunks

I agree

[d0uche_n0zzle]

I'd kick in for a that.

[seeinred]

personally I would prefer to see wackbag than OnA on his trunks

I agree

Thirded

[chutzd]

Once I hear back from Joe or his camp I will let you all know, and thank you all. We NEED to make his happen!!!! (the !'s are for Jimmy)

[mendozathejew]

especially given the fact that his next fight is in Newark, getting Joe Lauzon on the show, or finally atleast recognized on air is something the fans have to pursue. its amazing that it hasnt already happened.

Id be in for paying for sponsorship as well

[MJMANDALAY]

We would kick in for a wackbag.com sponsorship.

[chutzd]

well i just found an address for the person in charge of his sponsers and sent him an email. Hopefully I'll hear back from him today.

[Your_Moms_Box]

I think wackbag.com should be right over his ballsack

[chutzd]

Ok I heard back from Joe, he said spots on his shorts and shirt go for $2,000. He said he would love to have wackbag sponsor him. I'm gonna send an email to the mods and see what they can do to get the word out there.

[Redding]

right now theres over 370 people online...if each of them gave 6 bucks we would have the 2000 needed to get the sponsorship

[HummerTuesdays]

I would kick in a couple bucks, but I rarely read the sports forum. If this is a go, someone PM me about the thread. :)

[d0uche_n0zzle]

right now theres over 370 people online...if each of them gave 6 bucks we would have the 2000 needed to get the sponsorship

Most of them a too cheap to kick in. I'd say about twenty to thirty people might actually follow through and send the cash.

Personally, I'd be down for kicking in twenty-five to fifty dollars.

[Redding]

heres the money break down

$2000


800 people = $2.50
400 people = $5
200 people = $10
150 people = $13.33
100 people = $20
50 people = $40
25 people = $80
10 people = $200
5 people = $400

lets get on this people...it can be done

[HummerTuesdays]

that's a nice breakdown, but some people will throw in $5, some will throw in $100 or more. I think WB can raise the funds, but we would need to get on this soon.

[chutzd]

I've emailed the mods to see what they can setup to collect this money. I would setup a paypal site myself, but I have a feeling some people would have a problem sending their cash to me personally. Hopefully we can get something setup this afternoon and get on this.

[chutzd]

I've sent messages to 2 of the mods on here, but haven't heard anything back from either. Any idea who would be good to contact?

[mendozathejew]

we should all give the show a call and push for them to bring Joe in studio before the fight. hes been a fan since the XM only days it really should happen. Id imagine rogan will be in studio at some point in that week before the fight as well

[Capt.Caveman]

has anyone e-mailed gay steve or the boys about joe?

[mendozathejew]

has anyone e-mailed gay steve or the boys about joe?

I think we tried long ago, but not in an organized effort. its kinda surprising it hasnt already happened. they know joe exists and is a fan of the show, I dont know why they never followed up. Joe was a bit disappointed I think.

but we should all try and contact the show and see whats up. theres finally an east coast show and joes in it so theres really no excuse now

[d0uche_n0zzle]

Anyone who is e-friends with Rogan should apply a little pressure there as well.

Where's Steve From Bayshore? You know he's almost a shoe-in to get a mention on the show.

I'm not too familiar with UFC but I'm heading over to PayPal right now to send something. We're Wackbaggers and should support our own.

i would like my donation to remain anonymous (any CYE fans)?

[oandapartycock]

i would like my donation to remain anonymous (any CYE fans)?

I would like to make a donation in the name of Ted Danson. ;)

That aside, this may be the cheapest Wackbag could get him if all goes well for him. He's now committed to doing this for a living:


"Joe Lauzon will face Jason Reinhardt in November at UFC 78 in New Jersey. From The Fight Network:

The day that Joe Lauzon can call himself a full-fledged professional fighter has finally arrived. This Friday (Aug 3), the 23-year-old Bridgewater, Mass. native cuts the shackles of his nine-to-fiver as an IT network administrator at a Cambridge-based software development company. Lauzon will then set sail for Hilo, Hawaii to begin a two-and-a-half month training camp with former UFC welterweight champion B.J. Penn. The Team Aggression/Bishop Boxing representative will seek the guidance of the pound-for-pound favorite for his Nov. 17 lightweight match-up against Jason Reinhardt at UFC 78 in Newark, N.J.

Reinhardt has an undefeated 18-0 MMA record last winning defeating Theodore Reynol by TKO at Courage Fighting Championships 8. Initially he was to make his UFC debut against Roger Huerta at UFC 63 but was forced withdraw from the bout due to injury.

Lauzon appeared on The Ultimate Fighter 5 and has 2 UFC appearances under his belt defeating Jens Pulver and Brandon Melendez."

[Suicidebree]

I'll throw some dough if we get closer. Anyone check if UFC will allow this? They wouldnt allow ufcmania.com to sponsor Jon Fitch.

just in case anyone who doesnt follow mma or the mma thread here, Joe Lauzon first signed onto wackbag after Bob Kelly was in studio, talking about mma, and Joe tried calling into the show. I guess the screeners didnt believe he was actually a fighter in the UFC

so he signed on here, and we looked up some old interviews he did, where in a couple of them he said he had XM and was a fan of O and A. thats the background to the story.

[HomerX]

I put in the money I didn't spend on the ppv saturday, I was going to get it thinking it was $39.95 but seeing the $49.95 I didn't get it so I will donate it.

Why is it so hard to get joe on the show? He would be a damn good guest. They've never had a bad show with someone from the UFC. Not only is joe a fan of the show but also a member on wackbag.

WHEN the goal is reached what exactly will be on the advertisement??

will it be
"wackbag.com"
"opie & anthony"
"Frrrrrruunkis"

Is there a deadline when the goal has to be met?
anyway i'm donating again

Thanks Guys. Here is an update

http://joelauzon.com/images/random/gym%20100307_46Gym1100307_500w.jpg

When Joe Lauzon participated in the Ultimate Fighter season five reality show, it gave him a chance to receive some world class mixed-martial-arts training from former UFC Champions, BJ Penn and Jens Pulver. Since Lauzon already stopped Pulver in his UFC debut, he volunteered himself to be a part of Penn’s team. Under Penn, Lauzon thrived and a bond was made between to the two fighters. This lead to Penn inviting Lauzon to come to Hawaii for extended training. Will this move pay off as Lauzon will fight undefeated Jason Reinhardt at UFC 76: Validation in Newark, New Jersey? Here is what Lauzon told ADCC News in this Q&A.

It's times like these that we need to forget which forum we call home...

We are trying to sponsor him and promote Wackbag at the same time. The Wackbag logo will go on his shorts during his fight.

Whether or not you are a Wackbag member is irrelevant ... we're doing this more to support a fellow fan.

We have raised $715 towards the $2250 it will take. You can donate as little as $5 or as much as you want. Only PayPal is accepted. Here is the link

This has nothing to do with the boys. This is more from support from baggers for a fellow bagger. Granted if the boys get something out of it, then great, but they arent the ones doing it. Although if the Globe goes for only $45,000, WBL could really help out the cause then.

When is the deadline for the money? I wish they would just get Joe on the show already. I'm sure he could also last 30sec with Po. Btw good job Cromwell. I cringed when opie said it was gay.

Looks like joe is having way too much fun in hawaii.

If you haven't seen it yet check out joe's site. There's a youtube vid of him on the beach doing a "takedown tournament".

I wonder if he went to the strip clubs on oahu. Top notch.!

C'mon folks! We're not even 1/3 of the way there!! :(

[Jimmy's Dignity]

We seriously need to know the due-date for money...I know some people who mentioned giving wanted to know when they needed to give money by

IN AN MMA MATCH I think Po would be in trouble. Life or death joe better hide

[mobybeaver]

IN AN MMA MATCH I think Po would be in trouble.but's Po's gotta outweight Joe by 5-10 pounds

Thanks man. Oh, you know Opie - he thinks everything that involves 2 men is gay. :icon_mrgr
(Wait - that sounded pretty gay, come to think of it . . . )

I've been following all his emails, bulletins and posts.

Yeah, it looks like his time there in Hawaii has been a blast. :icon_cool

perhaps more then that beaver

iIn action on November 17th will be lightweight rising star Joe Lauzon (14-3), who will look for his third straight UFC win against unbeaten newcomer Jason Reinhardt (18-0), who makes it clear that despite his prowess on the ground, he’s looking for a standup war.

“Let's stand and fight,” said Reinhardt. “I'm ready for War. Let's get fight of the night. We are sure as hell not gonna get it by wrasslin'. Let's clinch, dirty box, stand in front of one another and throw hands. You can't tell me Dana White doesn't want to see this. The fans love it. They want to see knock outs. I wanna see how good Lauzon’s new boxing coach is. If he knocks me out, so be it. I'm sure as hell not going to worry about my 18-0 undefeated record November 17th. I'm coming to fight my ass off, and do my job.”

Lauzon, who has impressed in his time in the UFC with wins over Jens Pulver and Brandon Melendez that bookended a stint on season five of The Ultimate Fighter, has no intentions of letting his east coast fans down though, and he has spent this training camp working with BJ Penn in Hilo, Hawaii to prepare himself for the pace he expects Reinhardt to set.

“Jason is a good grappler with an impressive record coming from MFS,” said the Massachusetts native. “No one has made it out of the second round with him and I expect an aggressive pace.”

well i guess this money will have to be used on another fight

[Capt.Caveman]

wow this failed miserably!!!! i think more people would have donated if the show gave it a push. and also the whole fba/wackbag drama also had a lil to do with it. SORRY JOE

[d0uche_n0zzle]

Screw that, I'm sure he could use it now with no strings attached, IMO.

[Ballbuster1]

If we don't make the goal, you're getting the $ anyway :)

That was always the plan.

[Cromwell]

Yeah - let me add my apology to Joe there too.

You going to the fight tomorrow, Caveman?

I'll be there.



That was always the plan.

I'm confused there, BB1 - you say two different things there. Are you just sending him the money now - or will you hold it to apply to a future fight?

[Standby]

Personally I think we could hold it off for another fight. I'd definitely donate again if I knew this would slowly amass to the point where it gets a legit sponsorship for Joe.

Yeah, I like that idea better, Standby.

Joe is going to win tomorrow and will get another UFC fight soon. Maybe even against Spencer (King) Fisher - that would be the next step for him.


Caveman is right that if it had gotten a push on the show, it would have done much better.

Never mind Jimmy getting text messages from Chuck Lidell - and then Opie saying "we should have him on again"

Lets get Joe Lauzon on the show.

[Kris_LTRMa]

I don't think we failed ... we just fell a little short of the goal. But since Joe's favored to win, I think I agree with holding off on giving him the money so that maybe between now & the next fight we can raise the rest of the money.

Okay, now I'm gonna sound like a girl for a second, but one of my friends is fighting in an MMA match tomorrow in Newark...is that the same as UFC? I'm just wondering if both matches are in the same place. Not that it matters at this point, I have to work, so I couldn't go anyway.

Crom ... I work at St. Brigid's 2 nights & Saturdays and live on one of the ABC streets (the ones by Friendly's).

My mistake ... my friend does NAGA and competed at the Essex County College on Saturday. It was a 2 day event but his competitions were on Saturday. We saw him in Wildwood over the summer and at that point he was in the gi and no-gi competitions. This time I think he did gi and moi toi (sp?) or something like that. He didn't medal but won 5 straight matches. Not bad for a kid who's only been doing this about 2 years, if even. This was either his 3rd or 4th competition.

Hey - I saw when they were doing that event there in Wildwood over this past summer - and thought about entering at my "age-approriate" level. But then decided I needed more "training" - but yeah - I do like the fact that they have these open amatuer events.

This time I think he did gi and moi toi (sp?) or something like that.


Lol!

Its called Muay Thai http://www.chiangmai-chiangrai.com/muay_thai.html

But kudo's to you for at least showing some interest in it.

Sounds like he did great.

Much like our Rance did this past Saturday night. :icon_cool

Rance did really well :clap::clap:

You know how I butchered muay thai, how about brazilian jew-jit-su? No matter how much I try to commit the spelling to memory, I can't remember it..I think it's more of a mental block than CRS

I was at Wildwood. Had a blast - we left Tom for most of the day and hung out on the beach. When it was getting close to his matches, he called us and we ran to cheer him on. That was Tom's second competition and he did "okay" in no-gi (even though he lost) but got the crap knocked out of him in the gi competition - he tapped out after about a two and half minutes. His gi pants were too short and he needed to change them and then they made him sit out for three more matches so he kind of lost whatever oomph he had built up. Right after that competition he started learning muay thai & Newark was his first competition in that area. The kid drives us all nuts here at the office, especially since he weighs less than many of the women in the office, but ya gotta give him credit for sticking with it.

[zagman76]

Well, I have turned the donations off, and contacted Joe's manager to arrange to transfer the funds over to him.

We collected $765, which translates to $733.80 after all PayPal fees. Hopefully this will help Joe in some way!

Thanks everyone who donated!

[zagman76]

-bump-

I haven't heard anything back from Joe's Agent.... The $ is still sitting in my PayPal... I'm sure the money would help Joe out a little, even if it doesn't get us a advertisement.

What to do....??? :icon_conf

[Rance]

Just ran a quick search on my name and was wondering what happened with this. I never had Whackbag on my shorts, so I have no problem with the money being returned to people. If you still want to send it to me, my paypal address is joelauzon@hotmail.com

You can email me at joe@joelauzon.com if you want to verify that it is indeed me.

[Jimmy's Dignity]

Good luck in April, Joe...saw that you've got another fight coming up

kick some ass

[Rance]

thanks man..
