We can either be part of the problem, or part of the solution.

Please investigate the TDLR to see if the best interests of Texans are really being served. We don't need to lose gaming dollars due to impropriety or even the appearance of it.

I agree 100%. I was the Director of Finish The Fight promotions in El Paso, TX; an amateur promotion company. Greg and his gang were the most unprofessional, rude, obnoxious, group I have ever encountered as employees of any State. Rules would change on a whim, they would make us pay their fees in front of the audience, etc. Greg was biased towards another local promotion company and made our efforts more difficult. His language was less than appropriate. An investigator had contacted me during my tenure asking me questions, leading me to believe they have problems. I am sure the problems never get resolved. It seems like this agency does not want to bother serving the public and expects to be treated like gods. I hope that something come of this.

Having covered the combat sports scene extensively in Texas, I concur with the widespread discontent with the TDLR. Please give the community their due respect. The combat sports scene has huge growth potential that is being squandered.

If our state is to be taken seriously by promoters stuff like this has to be taken care of.

I'd really like to see a boxing/mma commission started. I think it would further both sports, create more revenue for the state and really give the guys that train so hard to fight a fair and balanced method of being judged.

Nothing bothers me more than corruption and I see it here. This needs to be investigated soon.

Ethical conduct in a world of Martial arts discipline is essential to creating a community of good ethical practitioners.

As a spectator of the sport, and having watched many live MMA events all across the state, the conditions in Harlingen 2/1/14 were unacceptable. I stand behind Mr. Berryhill and Mr Reed.
