The Problem

Male suicide rates continue to rise across the world. A core driver of this crisis is the absence of healthy outlets for masculine energy and expression. Only a small percentage of men ever access avenues like entrepreneurship, elite sports, higher education, or creative careers.
For most men, the pressure to provide for their families takes precedence — leaving little room for community, challenge, or personal growth.

Without meaningful outlets, many men drift toward unhealthy escapes: substance abuse, alcoholism, compulsive porn use, gambling, or thrill-seeking violence. When taken to extremes, these behaviours become some of the strongest predictors of male suicide.

At the heart of all of this lies loneliness — a chronic, silent burden that often precedes self-harm.


The Insight

Men don’t need therapy or chemical castration through medication.
They need brotherhood, competition, and physical exertion — three pillars that historically kept men grounded and purposeful.

Amateur Mixed Martial Arts naturally provides this:

  • Training releases pent-up aggression in a controlled, disciplined environment.
  • Sparring builds resilience, confidence, and camaraderie.
  • Competing reignites the instinct for challenge and achievement.

The missing link is a system through which everyday fighters can earn from their efforts — turning their passion into a real, sustainable opportunity.


The Solution: A Decentralised Amateur Fighting & Betting Platform

A digital platform that organises safe, regulated amateur fights in existing MMA and Muay Thai gyms — and allows fighters, gyms, and the audience to earn together through a transparent betting pool.

How it works

  1. Amateur fighters register and compete in verified gyms.
  2. Viewers place bets on either fighter.
  3. The total betting pool is split based on the fight outcome:
    • Winner: 40%
    • Loser: 30%
    • Host Gym: 20%
    • Platform: 10%

This model ensures that:

  • Fighters get paid regardless of outcome.
  • Gyms earn for hosting and supervising safe events.
  • The platform sustainably grows through coordination and regulation.
  • Viewers get a high-engagement experience similar to professional sports entertainment.
