There’s a purse involved in this fight, of course, but it’s only part of what makes it so attractive to the fighters. While the $10,000 dollar prize is nothing to sneeze at, fighters have a unique opportunity to share in the profits of the pay-per-view. The fighters will be given specific purchase codes to put out in their social media, allowing them to promote the fight while getting money for each code that’s used. This is a terrifically innovative way to promote the sport, and one that takes advantage of the special affinity that jiu-jitsu fans have for social media.
“Sapateiro” is a Portuguese term commonly used to refer to BJJ fighters who go for the feet, and the Sapateiro Invitational is one of the fastest growing submission-only tournaments in North America. Given the great efforts put into promoting the tournament and the unique profit sharing venture, this platform is one that deserves to succeed. If you’re a fan of BJJ, submission fighting, or just good martial arts action in general, this is a show you can’t afford to miss. Sapateiro Invitational 6 proves that there’s still a great deal of innovation in the mixed martial arts space.
