SENGOKU News: TV Tokyo Makes Yasuda Pay!!



Ace Japanese Reporter Gryphon just dug up some new news on the Sengoku situation and shares via twitter. It's seems that Sengoku isn't folding, but are being made to pay for their TV rights for New Year's Eve.

Although ISHII vs YOSHIDA is greatcard,By SENGOKU nagotiation mistake,No TV come.An only one station is TV TOKYO,but they demand money

TV tokyo demand money,.to broadcast SENGOKU event...Anyway,Not TVstation pay SENGOKU but SENGOKU pay TV station......This is commedy!!

SENGOKU owner YASUDA(billioner in japan)get angry finally!! So SENGOKU NY eve will fail......This is PLAYBOY article,post said so..

It seems that Segoku is ready to put on an event, but can't seem -to get iy it together on the TV.So that's why WVR is co-promoting with FEG.

I do question the reasoning behind it though. Why not just move it up to January 4th? Not only is it another holiday, but the promotion can rake in a hell of a lot of extra profit with buys. I can understand competition and all, but wouldn't moving the event up a couple days be more beneficial in actual planning?

TV Tokyo is probably run by Yakuza

I love Gryphon's Engrish

Every time I read one of his reports it reminds me of this MMA gear company

This is standard TV Tokyo fare..

There is a reason why FEG works with TBS. TV Tokyo has always charged for this kind of stuff.
