We supply a fair and nationally competitive platform for amateur fighters to compete and a place for the fans of MMA to watch it all go down and meet the future champions of MMA.","story":"Imagine the NFL or the NBA if there was no NCAA! Surprisingly that was the state of the fastest growing sport in the United States, Mixed Martial Arts. A billion-dollar business without a national amateur platform. With your help, we can evolve and create a NCAA atmosphere and business around amateur MMA.Timing:The Sport of MMA is only 25 years old and its natural evolution requires a national amateur organization. Today the Elite Amateur Fight League is the only national amateur platform in the country. With teams for coast to coast and broadcast TV opportunities we are positioned to become the premier amateur MMA organization in the United States.Baseball, football, basketball , and hockey are fully developed sports with limited ownership opportunities reserved for the ultra rich and connected. The Elite Amateur Fight League is a rare opportunity to become an owner in the sports industry.\u0026nbsp;The Elite Difference: We feature the best amateur fighters from across the country in a head to head, team vs team, state vs state, televised national amateur tournament.The Elite Amateur Fight League's\u0026nbsp;team vs team format is designed to capture both hardcore MMA fans, as well as the casual sports fan. A casual sports fan simply is a fan of the home team. Casual fans are linked via geographical ties or peer relations. They still buy the merchandise, buy tickets, and watch events. MMA’s current landscape does not capture this type of fan. We believe our format is the missing piece to reaching 80% more of the sports fan demographic.What we've done so farAfter a year of R\u0026amp;D and producing a concept season in 2015 we proved the platform,Season 1 was televised and included fighters from 4 states, where Dan Henderson’s Team Quest coached by UFC Fighter Sam Alvey, took the 1st national title in Southbend Indiana.In our second season, we added Northern California with fighters from Team Alpha Male and crowned New Mexico featuring fighters from the world-famous Jackson Wink Academy, as Season 2 national champs in San Diego.And Finally in Season 3, we added the east coast with Virginia \u0026amp; and fighters from American Top Team from Florida to the league, stretching our reach from coast to coast. In June of 2019, we crowned team Arizona lead by head coach Santino Defranco (FightReady MMA) as champions against team Illinois in Chicago.Upward Trend:\u0026nbsp;975%\u0026nbsp;Revenue GrowthIndustry Traction:\u0026nbsp;Over the last 5 years, we’ve invested our own time and money to build this platform and now that we have teams from coast to coast, with the most talented fighters, from the industry’s biggest gyms, it's time to hit the accelerator. How we make money:We have a media product with multiple revenue streams. We make money from B2Bsponsorship sales, Live event ticket sales, and digital content placement.The visionA fan owned sports league would change the face of sports ownership. A national amateur organization with a 32 team broadcast level, national MMA tournament, featuring the best amateur fighters from across the country, will give elite level fighters the platform they deserve and provide fans the ability to watch the future of the sport. What's nextOur plan is to raise $500,000 to fund the growth of the league by giving our fans an opportunity to become equity owners in the next big sports league. We think this opportunity is similar to investing in the UFC 20+ years ago. And, when we're successful, the owners (fans) will all share in the reward.We want to find 1 million MMA fans, hell, sports fans to become part owners of this League.We see MMA fans as having immeasurable power through their passion for this sport! Being an MMA fan is what motivated me to build the EAFL, I believe in the power of fans and a fan-owned company, with your support we can build the future of MMA. Not only will we give amateur MMA fighters the exposure and platform they deserve, but we will also give MMA fans an opportunity to own a piece of the league. \u0026nbsp;Instead of being owned by elite businessmen, we want the EAFL to be owned by sports fans. The business of sports is funded by us the fans, by offering equity ownership to our fans, fans who chose to become owners can now share in the reward. How much to invest?Please only invest what you can afford. Whether you invest a large sum of money\u0026nbsp;or as little as $100, you will be a part owner of a sports league in the fastest growing sport in the world.\u0026nbsp;Come get in the cage with us… Answer the bell!

AXIOM FILMS, Dreist Studios, Reznick, TitanTak, all do promotional videos that are top notch. Rather than doing an add that somebody can skip or a short one on a video that may not have the targeted audience, I would gather some highlights of the best fighters, send it to them and hire them to due promos for the fight league as a whole, 1st they already have a following built out of mma fans, 2nd they have viewers that enjoy their style if editing, 3 they do excellent work. I would also share upcoming events with all investors so who live closest to the events, just saying something like \"I am going to fight league aren't you?\" in the middle of the office would attract attention, as making someone feel left out is more likely to get them to do something than shoving it in there face. T-Shirts would also be an excellent idea, mugs pens etc. Just a few thoughts of mine, much appreciated if you take the time to look.

As you could imagine we get this one a lot lately. Our plans have definitely changed over the past couple of months. For us to run our unique model we need the best amateur fighters in the country. For our athletes to be at their best they need to be able to train at the same level, to assure our competitions are a fair and legitimate platform featuring the best available talent. As we all know States across the country are imposing different restrictions on our industry. From state sanctioning, to gyms, to promotions and live events we are far from business as usual. With that being said we recognize that amateur MMA needs to get back to business as usual so we can scout and recruit the best from each state. Our plans for 2021 is to host fight in events in states that will allow, to build teams. Secondly, we will travel the country and visit gyms, fighters, and coaches where live amateur events are not allowed. We will be video documenting this to help tell our story and record it for broadcast with our media partners. As far as revenue streams, we know we will not be able to count on live event attendance in all areas in the near future. So our sponsorship sales are our focus. With NBC RSN’s as our current broadcast partners with a 35 million plus broadcast reach in 8 sports heavy regions across the country to include New York, Chicago, and California our placement sponsorship opportunities are strong. The key is to get back to business where we can to create both fight and ancillary content, and that is what we will do. For OTT and streaming options, we are visiting and are in talks with several different opportunities. To include building our own. There will be more to report on that in the coming months. Thanks for your interest and we hope you choose to join our ownership group.","author_name":"Jesse Nunez","votes":0,"created_at":"2021-01-22T18:45:57Z"}]},{"id":125567,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:125567","question":"Why is it a minimum $300 investment but showing a $100 perk.","author_name":"Shane Grossman","votes":0,"created_at":"2021-01-20T15:43:41Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/eliteamateurfightleague#question-125567","answers":[{"id":125570,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:125570","answer":"Hi Shane,During the early bird time frame the minimum investment was set at $100.\u0026nbsp;","author_name":"Jesse Nunez","votes":0,"created_at":"2021-01-20T15:49:07Z"}]},{"id":124557,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:124557","question":"Does this involve dividends, or is this a private stock that builds over time, no dividends?
