Press Conference: Co-Owner Announcement

 

 

Lumpinee: "We know there's been a lack of communication in the past couple of days between the organisation and the media and we wanted to wait until the everything was confirmed before announcing that Lumpinee (KT) will be having a change in management. No, Rain Thunder is NOT leaving the organisation however due to his health he's been searching for someone to come on board and act as co-owner. I'm proud to announce that the new co-owner of Lumpinee KT is Mark O'Sullivan!"

 

 

 

Mark O'Sullivan

Co-Owner of Lumpinee (KT)

 

 

Mark: "First of all I want to thank everyone at Lumpinee (KT) for giving me this opportunity. I had been on the phone to Joe Lang who told me about how there was some issues within the org and how Rain might not be able to continue to effectively manage the day-to-day running of the organisation, he asked if I would be interested in helping out and I felt that this was a good opportunity to gain a true understanding of what goes on behind the scenes in the running of an organisation.

 

I have had a tiny bit of experience with organisation management in the past, I had been involved briefly with Insanity which was ran by John Hetfield, unfortunately it didn't work out for me there as looking after contracts wasn't the most appealing job in the world for me. That's in the past and I'm looking forward to getting involved in all areas of organisation management in my role as co-owner of Lumpinee (KT).

 

I know The Junior Grand Master of KT 2 tournament was schedule to start this weekend and there was some fights which weren't booked so I look into getting them sorted as quick as I could as soon as I signed the contract. I've got a fighter in that tournament myself but I'm pretty sure Joe Lang will be handling the event and I'll just be handling the booking of the fights."

 

Reporter: "What's happened to Lumpinee's first crowned champion Bhagat Singh, I notice he's no longer listed on the website as the champion?"

 

Mark: "Well, that's actually the second thing I did. I rang up Bhagat to find out who he wanted to fight next and he told me his fighting days are over."

 

Reporter: "I don't understand, he's only 18?"

 

Mark: "I honestly don't know what happened him, it looked like the kid could be a KT legend if he kept winning, 4-0 at only 18 years old. Strange move but it is what it is, so I had to strip him of his title.

 

Before ending this conference, I want to announce the resigning of Fleece Johnson. I found out that the kid was no longer signed to the organisation, so I rang up his manager and sorted out a deal which will see him stay with Lumpinee KT. He's 4-0 with us and I know he'll be keeping a close eye on The Junior Grand Master of KT 2 Middleweight tournament.

 

Lumpinee is also on the look out for fresh new talent to add to it's roster. If you're interested in sending one of your fighters to us so he can focus on his stand up before switching to MMA, get in touch. Thanks for coming everyone."
