The Plot thickens...

Last week, Ric posted a press release from Calvin Ayre offering to let Dana White live like him for a couple of days.

You'd think that would be the end of it, but thank God, Jesus and the Late Mr. McMahon it is not the case.

Enter Percy Walker and while I've got no idea who the hell Percy Walker is or if I should even care, even if I should, I don't but that's another matter.

Walker has some harsh words for Ayre

Among the highlights:

Bodog Fights, a mixed martial arts fighting league for recent graduates of finishing schools for girls,

and the great highlight of all of them in a great post...

If I hear of you or anyone in your organization being disrespectful to Matt White, UFC or anyone associated with UFC again, I'll fly down to Antigua or
wherever else you may be hiding from justice and arrest you myself.

Regards.

Percy Walker

In honor of this man, and whatever he's talking about, if I ever have a son I might consider naming him Percy.

Hear that Calvin Ayre? Stop threatening Matt White...just stop it. You wouldn't want to upset Matt cause then Percy would get pissed, and track you down and arrest you overseas which I'm pretty sure in and of itself is not legal.

Bodog Fight Billionaire Makes UFC President "An Offer He Can't Refuse"

June 15, 2007

In response to recent comments made by Ultimate Fighting Championship president Dana White, Bodog Fight founder Calvin Ayre is pleased to extend a once-in-a-lifetime offer to his mixed martial arts rival.

White's unfortunate public diatribe included slanderous comments about the Canadian billionaire, referring to the online gaming mogul as a "criminal". The notoriously bald UFC promoter goes on to liken Mr. Ayre to a Richard Pryor character, stating "he's like that guy in Brewster's Millions who is trying to spend all his money in 48 hours."

With July 14th's Bodog Fight: Eddie Alvarez vs. Matt Lee marking Ayre's first event on U.S. soil, the digital entertainment icon is referencing another Hollywood film, The Godfather, by making White "an offer he can't refuse."

"Sources tell me Dana's a big Bodog Fight fan," said Ayre. "He must be. He can't stop talking about us. Personally, I love it when he keeps mentioning my organization in the media. He doesn't seem to realize that each time he does, he only makes me more money, which is why I want to repay him by allowing him to experience the luxurious lifestyle I am fortunate to enjoy for 48 hours."

"Since, regrettably, I am unable to attend the upcoming Bodog Fight event in New Jersey, I will offer to send my private jet - complete with an assortment of beautiful Bodog Girls - to pick up Mr. White, wherever he may be. I will then fly him to the east coast where he will enjoy a front row seat to our next event, followed by a VIP evening including a comfortable five-star overnight stay in a nearby Atlantic City hotel. After hitting the poker tables, Mr. White can retire to his lavish suite, sip the finest champagne and relax in the knowledge that all amenities and services are complimentary as my way of saying 'thank-you' for all the money he keeps making me."

All Mr. White has to do is send his R.S.V.P. to pr@bodogfight.com and the wheels will be put into motion.
