I often see this on several social media platforms or YouTube but have never witnessed this match live.
On the other hand, I also haven't found a betting site for this contest, but it's possible that if something like this continues to get busy, it's not impossible that some will hold it, although at the moment it's still not possible because the enthusiasts may still not be too busy, unlike other bets.

I agree on that slapping sport is so dangerous and even worse than MMA, UFC or any other fighting sport where competitors are able to defend eachothers and in slapping fight you shouldn't even move your face when getting slapped.
What i think is right for the success of this sport is to create more rules about sizes where heavyweight and lightweight won't fight in one league, Also ending the fight when they see that someone is getting very hurt and giving the fighters more time to recover from every round. Personally i think it's going to bring much more attention.
it could work but I think the weight category would barely have any effect on the danger it poses because they'd still get slapped on their head without any protection. I really hope it doesn't;t get more attention but I am pretty sure Dana would market it as much as possible to gain an audience.

I found this news article to clarify things about safety measurements taken before every fight
"Power Slap president Frank Lamicella points out that before each bout, the strikers undergo a battery of tests—physical exams, MRIs, performance-enhancing drug screening—to ensure that they are fit to compete. Multiple physicians and first responders and ambulances are on-site at fights."

isn't this a normal occurrence in sports like this(i mean boxing, MMA, etc..)? if it is not, it should be.

This isn't new. This "sport" or as it is called in some places "extreme sport" has been running for many years in Russia and Eastern Europe. There's also a number of leagues with one being called SFC (slap fighting championship) and they have a women's division too.
Draft Kings, which is an online betting site that was supposed to start accepting bitcoin last year, but probably postponed this due to bear market, allows you to bet on slap contests.
It's actually fun to watch, especially when there's a large weight and size difference between contestants.
Is there no separation or weight divisions just like on boxing in between fighters or slappers?  Cheesy We know that mass or weight of a certain person does really affect on how hard they would be able to hit up a certain
fighter or into that opposite person.
If there's so much weight difference and physique then we could really say that they would really be having that upperhand since we know on how would really be that relevant if we do speak about
weight.
So far ive been seeing this sport on social media on slapping up their faces until they do go down.Its sad that they are just accepting only a few of paycheck while the organizers
made ton.

This sport doesn't need skills but the strongest to give the swing of his arm. It might be a good idea to just watch first and see who is the most popular and who has the hardest chin. I guess Dana will also hype a champ for this league.
You need to have certain skills to get slapped and not be in hospital  Cheesy, you need to have a great chin to absorb a full swinging slap, i will never participate in such event as there is no defense and it is likely you will get a concussion after every slap. I have watched some clips as these sort of tournaments are common in Russia but i am not following every tournament and i have not seen any sports book providing the odds, since Dana White is involved we might see bookies including them.

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 first saw this kind of competition on a Russian page, it's very popular in Russia, and Dana White wants to make it popular here in the US and all over the world, I have a hard time watching this kind of sport it's kind of brutal because the participants are defenseless, Dana's defense is you only get hit three or five times in this event while in boxing and MMA you get to hit 100 times or even more but in boxing and MMA you can defend and protect yourself and fighters have gloves to lessen the impact, this is another cash cow for Dana White.

Yeah, been popular in Russia for the last couple of years and probably Dana saw an opportunity in the West. But not sure if this is going to be a hit as well, for me, it will not likely to succeed as I don't think it will be embrace or if there is a huge fan based about this kind of "sports".

On the contrary, it seems that this sports is for fun though, of course nothing brutal, just two combatants, (men or women), slapping the hell with each other. I'm not against it, but I don't find it attractive enough, just saying.

If this new slapping league started this year then it is natural casinos have not added it as I find it difficult to understand how they can generate odds for a sport which is just a few days old, also I think they would like to see how popular it gets before they make an effort to offer odds for it, because as others have mentioned the idea behind this is nothing new and there are other slap leagues around the world, and as far as I can tell they are not very popular.

Dumbest sport ever, honestly.  Talk about cte and brain issues.  Just constantly taking professional hits with no chance to defend yourself.  No real tactic either.  Just slap the shit out of someone until someone gets knocked out lol.  I mean people will definitely bet on it though because that's what we do 😆
It's dumb coz it's funny. But the damages they incur, as well as the strategy and thought put into each game is comparable to the contact sports like boxing. I could argue that this sport is even more extreme than boxing, coz at least with boxing when you get smacked in the face it's with a little bit of cushion. With slapping tourneys you literally get Buddha-palmed in your cheeks. I don't think it's dumb really, especially if training is being performed by fighters before their events. Following that logic games with similar concepts like boxing would be regarded as dumb too.

I remember seeing the first "slap in the face" a couple of years ago, amazing to see how a "joke" between friends has grown so much in popularity to the point of becoming such a huge competition.

And they already have media attention, as 'Power Slap' entered into a partnership with 'TBS', an American channel that will broadcast a series with a total of eight episodes of the league's tournaments. The production will serve to pick out the main exponents of the modality and assemble the company's inaugural rankings.

I don't like boxing, mma or similar, I find it too "brutal", but I confess that this new competition is intriguing me because "it's just a few slaps in the face", they are not capable of causing permanent sequels to competitors. Roll Eyes

I will follow the competition more closely, I believe that soon there will also be bookmakers for this new sport, and I will probably place some bets.

I'm aware of that league but I'm not sure if it's generating millions of dollars already. Is this true?

Regardless though, the payout is really small on that amount you have mentioned providing the fact that it's under the supervision of a UFC boss (honestly, it's just now when I read this thread that I also learned it was managed by the UFC boss).

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.

That's the reason why I asked the question above if it's really generating millions already.

Because if that is so, at least it is now able to build a big betting market, and bookies should at least include it on their betting list but I also don't see it yet.

Dana White sold off his UFC ownership around mid 2022. He no longer owns a stake in the UFC. The same with Mark Wahlberg, Kobe Bryant and other celebrities who became fractional UFC owners. Endeavor bought out their shares to become sole UFC proprietor.

No longer being a fractional owner in the UFC, could mean Dana White is looking for a new business to become involved in. That could be the origins story behind Dana interest in Power Slap.

When MMA was a small time business, many athletes were paid $100 or $500 per fight. The UFC's TV deal with Fox sports was accompanied by a significant bump in pay. Followed by another bump in salary with the ESPN UFC TV deal.

Yup...  And a lot of people don't really get what's going on behind the scenes because while Dana White still holds the title as 'president' of the company, he isn't really the guy who makes the important decisions anymore.  The real boss behind the UFC is Hunter Campbell.  He's been doing all the important deals for the company, he talks to the commissions of every state and country, he also has a say in match making.  Dana these days is just a figure head, a face of the company.  And if he leaves today, the UFC would be running just as smoothly as the transition has already happened years ago.

Anyway, where can we find lines for power slapz?

I have watched some videos on internet, and i was impressed by the brutality of such "games".
It will be because the wrestler can't defend himself or dodge a blow... but it's really impressive at least to me.
(likewise the winner of a tournament with a deformed face after the end of the match).

Is it possible to bet on these leagues? has any bookmaker quoted these events?
(no I would never bet on it, I don't find it ethical as a sport or at least really hard to be watched... I'm asking out of pure curiosity)

I watched this kind of activity, and I find this slapping game interesting.  It would be great if this kind of "sports game" will be listed on the bookmaker's betting option.

True but somehow I am entertained watching guys slapping each other and finding which one has the highest resistance and which one is a strong slapper.  I think this is not about defending and tactics but showing who has a more robust face to resist the impact of a power slap.

slap contests have been happening for a while now but this power slap league is pretty new so I am not surprised bookmaker has not announced anything about it. to be honest, I'd be glad if this show does not get popular and the sportsbook ignores it. it is a very dangerous sport, some may say that MMA is far more dangerous but think about taking powerful blows to your head multiple times without protecting it.
I agree on that slapping sport is so dangerous and even worse than MMA, UFC or any other fighting sport where competitors are able to defend eachothers and in slapping fight you shouldn't even move your face when getting slapped.

The game is simple but risky and painful. I don't know if the participants are allowed to use some drugs to reduce the pains or impact of the slap during the slapping match. I have watched few fights and saw how well-built participants are knockout by some superpower slaps that sounded like a loud clap. Just like boxing and other extreme sports, power slappers need to be well paid. Underpaying these sportsmen would make the slapping league unattractive. I have never seen or heard about bets on the Power Slap League, maybe because it a relatively new competition. In few years such gambling section might become popular.

Pretty sure the concept runs back from early 2019. I watched vids of MoistCr1tikal where he streamed Russian Slap Tournaments and sometimes hedge friendly (no money involved) bets with his viewers. He sometimes even post snippet vids of his stream with the most awesome monotone commentary you will ever hear in this planet. Shit's good. Pretty sure a lot of people have heard since then of this sport and has made renditions of it. But they got nothing on the OG. So far however, this Slap League Dana White's holding up seems to be up to par with how professional the Russian ones go, complete with bodyguards and enclosed within the Octagon. I would observe this with great interest.

It took along while untill I had to make deep research on my own, through videos, post and diverse illustrations... That was about the early times of last year.
The power slap league have gone a long way on the sports and I think they're making ways to get to the next level. The first day I watched one of the matches, I laughed out loud and began asking myself why peeps be getting weird slaps all in the name of sporting? ...I remember their participants getting slapped until he wasn't able to get his ass up...lmao
It's a game of utmost strength and I'm always wondering how they go bout Thier trainings.
Edit: bookmakers ain't in a hurry to get a contract deal with them, they only need a little more stability and fame ( cus nobody bets on games he's not conversant with)

This is absolutely new to me as I've never heard a thing about power slap league before, though I know about extreme sports but the slap part of it is something I'm just learning about here, and I really want to be sure about something..

Power slap league, as the name implies, does this mean that contestants will have to be taking turns to slapping each other until one of the contestants falls and gives up the fight?
I really want to get the mechanics of this game clear before I state or contribute my opinion about it..
