Money or it didn't Happen. 23 minutes Ago, Hasn't been viewed By the public, etc. Yeah we all Have 50 g Matches & I'm totally Being' serious especially in an Economy like today. I could see if someone Had not a lot of Time left or knew They were gunna' Die. A money Match though like come On. I'm Sure you can Get/do something' Better with that money as your Final Request. Too many Bogus high Money matches. Especially Expedentially in Marvel. Dunno Bout' everyone Else, But I always Feel super Trolled by These Money Jokes/matchez Posts on Eventhubz. Surprised I typed' That much.

There is no way any human being would bet $50,000 on a video game. Much less, actually give it up if he/she lost.

Where did this money come from? Did they actually front the money themselves?

It wasn't put up by the players, it was backed by side bets. Also it wasn't 50K for each player, that was the total pot. So yes 50K on the line did happen but fanatiq didn't get most of that money cuz he didn't bet.

Fanatiq = Floyd Mayweather. Floyd would duck, talk his way out of a certain fighter until the big bucks can be generated then he goes in and beats the player everyone thought he wasnt better than or scared of. Fanatiq is similar in the way he holds back, losses and observes, noted the weaknesses but only exploiting them when the $ is put down. Good on u fanatiq, ur not a bizness man.. Ur a bizness, man.. LOL. hope to play u at evo. ✌

Was the money transferred or is this all a big blowup over nothing?

This was a runback. They played for 26K previously and Toan won that one.

When they say $50,000 money match they don't mean each dude put up 25,000 and played. There was about $50,000 in side bets and backer's funds on this fight. Still a lot but split between a lot more people than the two playing.

This is pretty old. But no one cared because everyone was too busy watching the Neo vs. Clockwork $15k money match.

I think I've done enough to establish that I'm an honest person. But for those of you insisting that we're lying... http://www.liquidpoker.net/user_pictu... yea there was only two people with money on the line backing me.

50k money match: can't afford to do a direct feed stream and has to record the match on a potato.
