There's nothing like "Teamwork" when it comes
to promoting events and this past weekend, the Teamwork of Daniel Gutierrez
(R) and his Defiant Promotions crew played like a Super
Bowl Champion. Some attending may have thought promoter errors forced an hour
delay in the event but the truth is, the Ambulance company was who delayed the
event. Contract papers clearly showed Gutierrez ordered an Ambulance crew
staffed with an EMT and a Paramedic. However, when the crew arrived, event
ringside Physician Dr. Gatus pointed out that instead of a Paramedic,
the EMT's partner was a nurse...
Calls to the Ambulance company were made, apologies by them
given, but that didn't help the fact that everyone had to wait until the correct
crew arrived over an hour later. Still, the eager crowd was surprisingly
patient, which was greatly appreciated by all of us behind the scenes.
When the action started, it never stopped. One by one each of
the 28 amateur Muay Thai fighters made their way to the ring to do battle. most
were beginners on a stage fit for a king. When it was all over, Gutierrez
along with the Teamwork of his brother, wife and others on the Defiant Team
were given the green light to sit back, take a deep breath and be proud of what
they just accomplished.
What they accomplished was a packed, standing room only house.
In fact, this was the first event where we were actually considering putting a
stop to ticket sales because there was no where left for anyone to sit. Still,
all inside found a place they were comfortable with and enjoyed a great night of
some great Muay Thai Action!
Gutierrez is looking at February 7th for his next event
and if confirmed, you may want to put it on your calendar because you don't want
to miss the next one. Congratulations to first time Promoter Daniel
Gutierrez and his Defiant Promotions Team. All of us here at
the IKF are looking forward to working
with you more in the future.
