Such slap contests were popular in Russia about 3-4 years, specially on YouTube. I know that there are also slap contests in UK and Poland. I personally does not count this as a sport at all. You are right that this is extremely dangerous. Power Slap will close as soon one of the contestants get a brain injury, gets a serious concussion or dies from cerebral hemorrhage.

The problem with Power Slap is that there are no clear rules how strikers can slap. It is only said that they can slap with open hand basically. In Russian version of slaps, it was allowed to slap with fingers only, straight, unbended in elbow arms. And they were allowed to slap only in the cheek or chin. Otherwise you get a disqualification. In Power Slap, they mostly slap with edge of palm (dont know how it is named correctly in English, it is called "abductor digiti minimi" on pictures) to the temple. Or the reffs are suck and warn for such wrong slaps. Anyway, it is like a hook the head. A hook that it is not allowed to block or dodge. This is not sport!
Yeah, I already saw one of this video long time ago and the fat guy is always starring there. I think the guy is Russian. Could be true since you said it was popular in Russia. The hype then died after some time but I am surprised to see a topic like this, only to know that this sport was still active and even some betting sites already have this now.

Maybe not all games have the same rules and that is why someone can get damaged heavily but they better refrain from doing that, and if not then someone can report them to the authorities. After all, people only want to get entertained but seeing someone die or suffer badly isn't fun anymore. The audience can get guilty too.

Possible mistakes may occur because the player accidentally slaps the wrong part but does not trigger a real fight because they have the referee and the rules of the fight, it is possible that the player will be deducted or can be disqualified from the fight, the most interesting thing to watch when the player can defended and came to his senses after a heavy slap from his opponent and when he returned a heavy slap to his opponent.
Dude, this doesn't sound too nice ...I mean giving slaps to people In the name of gaming is a big-time bully - as long as I know... It's something we did way-back in our youthful times, when we had barely some provisions to cope with; then we'll go as far as getting dirty slaps from peeps that own provisions, just for a dish from their day's meal or a heavy scoop from Thier beverage pack, cookies or whatever they desired -- yes, it was a boarding home, but that was all jokes and school fun.
When I realized it was brought up professionally, I laughed hard and I seem not see the fun in that. Someone was slapped and she became unconscious, the MODs were laughing, how's that amusing??  Roll Eyes

Prolly the same thing I thought of...I know they're all trained professionals,but let's not forget that we're humans, in as much as we are, we have emotions and thoughts -- someone might easily get upset for getting bullied or slapped too hard on the wrong part, all in the process and he/she might even forget that it was a contest -- it could lead to a real fight...I know we've got referees everywhere though, that won't happen, not just easily. I don't really see it as a sports I like to watch cus I don't find anything interesting in watching people getting slaps from left, right and center...lame!!

Just like UFC, I do not like this extreme sport. I think it is disgraceful for combat sports.  I know that a fight is a fight. But when you stand there with no defense, hands behind your back, getting slapped as you stand,
it is just disgusting to watch.  This should not be in any way promoted by UFC. If they can't stop Dana White now, they should sue him when people start suffering severe brain injuries.
Hahahahahah.....

Who didn’t hear or watch at least one video about Dana white’s latest show which called The Power Slap League that started this new year of 2023, the rules of this sport are easy and simple where both competitors taking turns trying to knock each other out in order to win
There is a lot of talking about it lately about the low payout of Ufc boss to the participants of this tournament which goes to only 3200£ a Fight while he might be generating millions of dollars of it, But my topic here i want it to be about betting on this new sport and tournament which i still didn’t see any bookmaker announcing anything about this matter, And in my opinion it’s a lot of fan and as any fighting sport there is always bookmakers that will eventually include Power Slap League and allow people to bet on their favorite fighters.

I never thought that this will become a large organization I just saw them in the videos in different social media and just happen in a small event only and I saw that imagine their training and resistant from slapping and one slap that's really hard can make you a knock out or else having a problem with your brain due to have a large impact of it, still for me its part of the extreme sport like the others too because its cause too much dangerous.
Me too!

I though that it was really just some past time for some people and made out some videos about slapping out their faces until the other one would be down or would lost consciousness or someone who had give up and now it did really become a sport and it is really that circling on streaming sites and social media.Its indeed an extreme sport which i could say that it would be more extreme than with boxing.Why?
because it do constantly been hitting up the head and with some solid slap and even though it do hits up only on the front part and not on the skull itself but the impact and vibrations could really
make out that effect which you might be facing later on.So im not really seeing this to be entertaining at all.

they have the selected players and the medical team so nothing to worry about.

What makes you think there is nothing to worry about in that disgusting sport? Is it because cases of burst ear drums of participants have not been reported in the media? Yes we know that injuries is part of sports and that all sports have their own ills and bad side but to intentionally go into the one with obvious bad side is like walking into a ditch. I want that sport to die off and not have any sponsorship.
Whether you do like it or not which this type or kind of sport is getting more attention as of this moment unlike into those previous years on which it isnt really getting that much attention but now it do really becomes a sort of trend or really getting that recognition which does simply means that there is really a specific market for this sport.

When it comes to injuries then its true that everything cant really be disclosed or would really be reported but its just an assumption and we dont know when it comes to transparency of those things.
If they are really that getting that attention and popularity now then there's nothing we can do.

That sport is horrible and maybe that is why nobody is ready to sponsor it. I have never seen something as much disgusting as that. Most of the slaps are heavy that few of the participants had passed out during the competition. They do not use protection for their ears. Alot of ear drums of those into this type of sports are going to burst because of unprotected heavy hitting in that region. Whoever introduced that as a type of sport should be sanctioned. It is the worst extreme sport in the world that I have witnessed. Worse than UFC.
The sport was just released and there aren't many sponsors partnering with the sport yet, but I don't know much about the rules of this sport and I saw a video of the powerslap league sport on the timeline of the social accounts. I thought it was quite interesting because they used the hardest slap I've ever seen and I was quite surprised to see them faint immediately after hitting that slap. I think just enjoy me as a spectator because their program has passed the censors and got the broadcast production license for that sport, they have the selected players and the medical team so nothing to worry about.

MMA started this way though. Something like from the movie Fight Club until someone with the balls actually made it popular. It began outside the US also like the MMA Pride until UFC came. PowerSlap I guess as you said started in Russia, UK, and Poland.

This PowerSlap might just be considered a sport in the end, it will just need some sort of a sports organization to recognize it. It's a pattern that Dana is taking once this powerslap becomes popular and then athletes complain again about the low fees, he may look for another sport to develop.

If Mike Tyson was young at this time and he wanted to be a slapp athlete then he would be the most successful athlete because he has incredible strength, and imagine how damaged his opponent's face would be when he received a slap from his strong hands, and the boxers can use this sport as an alternative because they already have the technique for how to swing their arms so they have the power to slap
I didn't want to disrespect Mike Tyson, but if you're looking for strong people who have hard punch, it doesn't must be Mike Tyson because Francis Ngannou aka former of UFC heavyweight champion is the world's hardest punch or you can choose Artur Beterbiev who have 100% KO rate and now holding 3 belts in light heavyweight division. If both of them joining this league, they might always enter final in every event lol.

I don't think any slapping league will accept Mike Tyson or Ngannou these fighters already have the edge and they will make the competition unfair to everyone, the league will try to make the competition as fair as possible to attract more sponsors and support from the fans.
Maybe in the future when the slapping league establishes its own superstars it will accept other fighters from different sports.

It is not a large organization yet. Dana white from the UFC has made a league but it is not big yet but the sport has become more popular in recent years. I remember that Logan Paul did a slap league and made a video about it. He just signed a contract with Dana with his sports drink for the ufc maybe the next move will be trying to use Logan Paul to promote his slap league and put him against some lower level opponents in the slap league.

I have watched it and unlike the random videos on social media where they just slap their opponents without some strict rules, this one has some rules that they need to follow and the contestant are pretty strong honestly, I don't really like it because you can see how brutal the competition is because they are given a free hit on their opponent faces which kinda hard to imagine how they will gonna move on from those slaps after the game? You can see how they took those damages and you can see their heads shaking so hard, others even get knockdown and never recover again.

I have seen few power slap fights on Instagram and Youtube and man I get goosebumps while watching it.
People getting knocked out is what scares me as it can damage your brain or create other physical damages to your face.
I wonder why are they playing such a dangerous "sport". Betting on it is really crazy in my perspective since one's life is at stake.

If you say that slapping is not appropriate to be called a sport because it is dangerous and can break a jaw, then do MMA and wrestling also not deserve to be called a sport and in fact MMA and wrestling actually have even greater risks that can make fighters serious injury or even disability.
In all types of sports, there is definitely a risk of getting injured, but every athlete is
have been trained and are truly experts in their field so that it will minimize the occurrence of injuries while competing.

Lol, but this is different from MMA, Slapping is nothing more than an outlet and fun entertainment for those who are content to see others moan in pain. MMA still has a lot of fitness techniques and exercises to do to maintain better physical endurance. But I don't know what sport is applied to power slap, is it necessary to slap dolls every day? Every sport has risks, but power slap is not like other sports in general. This is just for fun and not very technical.
Did I say before that slapping is the same as MMA?
Please understand more from the review that I said earlier so that you can better understand what I mean because I'm just saying that all types of sports definitely have risks, not only slapping but other sports such as MMA and wrestling also have a greater risk.
Slapping sports also have training that is quite draining, namely they practice lifting weights to increase hand strength and also practice slapping such as using rubber ropes and also using rubber dolls as experimental material for their slapping.

Most Russians are enjoying this kind of sport, they said, but it is gruesome to some like me because there is no chance that you'll evade the slap; you are just depending on the power of your opponent's, and you'll also get blood or make your face hurt for sure. though there are a lot of people watching it right now. But before I saw it, it was kind of funny because it was just for fun, but later on, when it got competitive, it got worse and bloodier.
I never thought if this sport is funny because it will cause an injury in short term and long term. For me this sport might more dangerous than MMA and boxing because in MMA you're really free to hit which place you want to hit and in boxing it's quite free since you can hit from the body to head. But in power slap, you can only hit the cheek which mean you will get repetitive damage in the same place.
This slapping sport is as dangerous as MMA because both of them can cause damage to the body, even though this slapping sport can cause damage to the brain if the punches are very hard. And if a fighter is bleeding from his body, the game has become more dangerous and must be stopped immediately before it becomes more brutal.

Maybe if the player slapped on the butt wouldn't hurt as much as getting slapped on the cheek. But still, it would cause pain to the person receiving the slap.
I don't find that what they called sport entertaining for me its all about violence since imagine the players cannot do anything but to receive the damage gotten from the slap that's so awful to see.

Don't also want to place some bets since I'm not participating to this kind of activities. If someone will say how about boxing well the fighter has opportunity to defend theirselves compare power slap league which they just receive the slap and thats it.
