A page out of Mr. Beast's playbook

Its an investment. No actual successful person sits on their money. Luckily though Lud's investments are entertainment for us.

Lud showing that his team can put out an event like this is a great way to sell the capabilities of his new company, both to future clients and advertisers/sponsors

@@DecayedPony yea the event gave awareness to his name.

@mana256k pushing the boundaries of his own content.

That’s so hype

I really hope this is true because that would be wonderful 😀

poggies

@@owencyrulik146 I tried to post the link but it gets removed. Matt said so on his Twitch channel after the event. His channel is movingwithmatt and it's the VOD after the event in his hotel room. 12:30 he starts talking about bringing the women's card together, 14:30 is the visa stuff :)

That’s dope asf. Congrats to her for finally getting it

@@ericstraley5255 oh shit yeah don't know how I missed that lol

That was a hell of a line, perfectly delivered. Still in my head when I think of the event. Levy did a really good job.

The delivery sounds like something straight out of a chess anime, hahaha, Levy is awesome

I am almost positive Jschlatt lost on purpose for the content

Number one is likely faked, it's called the fool's mate and is one of the most known chess moves for how stupid it is

@@kaiiak04 knowing Schlatt I really don’t think it was faked lmao but I can see it

@@M4ttHatt3r It was very obviously fake lmao

@@mightykaz7686 I’m glad I asked

Lost $200,000 however what he gained from it, is invaluable.

Plus he and Connors little bromance these days sealed the deal

I agree with this

Yeah, I actually thought that Connor was the one he was meant to do the slap-chess thing against from the very beginning.

Real G.... The Real Top G....

Unfortunately that might have something to do why the UFC makes as much money as they do

Ludwig is a creator and good dude first. Dana is a soul sucking businessman - successful but will never be as principled as Ludwig

perhaps too much it's counterproductive... lawrence was still fine tanking the burst of his opponent, and he was switching the tides of the match, old men in boxing can take a lot of blows and start to shine only when it's hard... the ladies were boxing for the first time, their punches were bee stings, there was no point in stopping them so much

+ it ain't like it's still not getting money. The videos and the VOD would break the event even probably

I mean the production alone is what cost majority of his budget. Event looks better than some real boxing cards

unknown moreso than unpopular, but yes, absolutely an awesome production with much room for it to grow into something even better

Honestly him showing how he could make such a large successful event will make it easier for him to pull more sponsors in his next events.

@@eddz7815 next one you can start promoting more about rematches and create some storylines and also the other contested might take their boxing sessions more seriously. Def need to offset it more with sponsors

A S O

he one of the reasons CDawg came to the event :D

@@ayumuchan3541 welp cdawg is the reason why lud got to connect with chris. Im just happy that all the people i root for won. boxbox, chris, toast, and connor

cringe ..

@@clement9782 -2

He was so quick on noticing as well, that was an insane game of chess lol

E

His guess the elo experience came in clutch lol

eh xqc was supposed to come but he didnt which wouldve been pog if xqc did come lol.

@@alpha-uk4mh its xqc of course he didnt go man flakes on everyone lol

@@Calebe428 yeah true his sleep sched is f'ed due to him streaming , he didnt come because he was sleeping . lulw

@@alpha-uk4mh dude flakes on literally everyone, did it with shit camp and did it with this too

@@alpha-uk4mh I know people meme on him for his chess reputation, but how would he have ever survived the boxing?

“Get a month of melee training in the US paid for but 2saint will beat your face in front of thousands at the end of it” sounds like a ‘would you rather’ premise lmao

@@Materialist39 Honestly yeah, its not even like the other fights wherein most of them you could see both fighters had actually trained at least to a degree. Spud's fight was just so embaressing lmao.

Right, in my eyes that was one of the best fights!!!

That was simultaneously the worst and the most intense chess I've ever seen!

I didn't expect to love that match, but I also didn't expect I'd ever find myself with half a celebrity-crush on some goofball named Cherdsley, yet here we are lmao 😂 The friendly vibes & showmanship from both fighters absolutely made it work. I think it's proof of concept that chess pro wrestling (pro chess wrestling? presstling? pretssling? petition to call it pretssling because it sounds like pretzeling lol), complete with memey scripted chess, would be AMAZING. Those guys just showed up with senses of humor & willingness to be vulnerable in front of the crowd, & without even any prep or scripting, they made it a hit. There's no way a more deliberate production in that vein wouldn't be a roaring success. I'd be all over it & I don't even enjoy pro wrestling 😂

Yeah, I thought Cherdley's showboating was just to overcompensate for his boxing, and Myth would just flatten him, but he actually went rounds and held his own. He put on a great show with the chess, too. Even though they both were not the best at chess on the day, they made it look the best. Hyping up the crowd and getting involved.

@@VixeyTeh Occurs to me that we all also owe thanks to the chess arbiter. She did a fantastic job of making the right judgment calls about when to watch out for precise rule adherence & when to just let the chess be casual & fun. It would have been totally appropriate if she told them not to have gesture-interactions with the audience at all during the game, but such firm enforcement would've been unnecessary & much less entertaining

Yup, that was definitely an illegal move and should have given his opponent extra time, so all in all Ludwig would have lost either way.

True

First it was a certified Ludwin moment now it's a certified Mogul Mail moment

They were watching on 2x speed!

Wait a second....

bros a time traveler

I watched this whole video before you like 20 min ago lmao

I cannot imagine xQc doing anything other than "reacting" to KZfaq videos and speaking enchantment table language

He would be gassed after the first round if he didn't get a knockout. All that muscle eats a TON of energy so unless he stopped bodybuilding and started conditioning he'd be a walking corpse after a minute hahaha

I dont think it would be fair to everyone else in the event to have to fight him lol

Dr.Disrespect vs Tyler1 chessboxing

Chess lol

dank bro, that would be lit

1.5 m

@@beekhockindahos2112 i mean if he can spend over a mil on the event just because he wanted to i dont think 200k is gonna do much, he also makes that back easily

@Beek Hock in da Hos collateral damage ;) Overall though, I was complimenting the splendid event

Yep seeing Chris’s journey to this point was my only interest going in but when CdawgVA did the surprise event that was so hype. So entertaining now going back and seeing all the other matches as well. I look forward to any possible event next year 👍

Participation trophy energy

Squared saint

pov your name is also trent : :/

He was out of shape

Yeah you could visibly see the muscle difference like it was a before/after ad

Idiot made a fool of himself. What a doofus.

Yeah I’m starting to think this Mogul Mail guy is a little out of his mind

ludwin wouldve gained double of what he used

But Mogul Mail guy is great at creating content even if it means losing money.

We live vicariously through Ludwig, better him than us.

L win

Yeah exactly. I thought this will be something silly and now I watched nearly everything on KZfaq...

Right? I didn't expect to enjoy that much (even though I adored the intro video) but it was delightful. The friendliness & showmanship was fantastic. They were a wonderful matchup. I think that was proof of concept that pro chess wrestling (presstling?) needs to be a thing, complete with memey scripted chess lol. Those guys made that vibe of antics work without any planning. I think there's no way a bigger event planned around that tone would be anything less than a huge hit!
