Monte Cox “Hey, you’re 6’10″ and you already train – I should make some money off you.”

Seems that if you want to manage fighters you manage fighters. If you want to promote, you promote. Seems like Monte is a manager who wants to promote and Pavia is a manager who wants to manage.

Thanks for showing us the promoter in you Monte…

Cox is suggesting that without his efforts, his clients wouldn’t be successful, or as successful. Love to hear him name names and explain how he’s “made” each of them. Then ask the fighters he’s named whether they agree that Cox gets credit for their careers. Pretty easy way to judge whether he’s the real deal or just another gasbag in the fight promotion biz.

And to further that point, there’s a reason Dana stopped managing Chuck and Tito when he became a promoter.

Unlike Pavia, Cox is a conflict of interest lawsuit waiting to happen.

He should really stop calling himself the pav.

dude, i don’t think pavia is any ‘threat’ to cox. cox has been around longer than you’ve been rocking skidmarks in your undies and managed some of the best to ever grace the octagon. pavia is a newjack.

Well I know nothing of Cox or Pavia, I do know this, if your talking S-H-I-T about someone then you perceive that person as a threat.

Cox should keep his mouth shut, I have seen what he looks like and Helio Gracie could take his fat ass..

Obviously, Cox is not big enough to avoid talking about Pavia altogether. I’ve always heard good things about Monte Cox; but you’ve got to question why he would even bother talking about someone who is clearly not a rival. Ken Pavia is an agent on a smaller scale who operates fine on his level.

Stop acting like he’s a threat, Monte! It’s like a high-school kid picking on an eighth grader. Just makes the high school kid look like a punk.

Pav is a likeable guy? I think he comes across as a gigantic a*s.

he is right, mma is huge here in iowa and most of the fighters have been fighting for some time, have grown up with wrestling skills backed up by some type of martial art and or boxing and in similar formats with the local organizations. the chances are if they were to go big time they stay in the states. and there is unlimited talent , but im afraid that all the fighters that come frome here would end up to be cookie cutters mirror images of each other, if pavia really manages at all i think mostely thats what youll get, nothing exotic and new. and thats a shame because i really believe that the more different styles the better the fights, youll never see a cung le for exampl come from here and somebody who takes time to search for these types should be commended. and he made fun of his height .

As where Pavia manages more top name guys, and Pavia is actually a pretty likeable guy. Also, let’s not get into the failure things M1. We see how well Monte manages and promotes (fails) Fedor.
