This shouldn't be a surprise....it's widely known that the Japanese mafia was dug deep into PRIDE. Why would DREAM be any different?

DREAM should be doing everything they can to stay away from the Yakuza..
They had a great company until the Yakuza shit hit the public. |

people dont seem to get that Yakuza tries to get their hands in the pocket of all fight organizations in Japan, as well as a bunch of other industries.
the only reason PRIDE failed because of these ties was because it was publically exposed. to be honest, if this guy said shit about Yakuza threatening his boy, and wasn't supposed to, he would be the one sleeping with the fishes.

Yeah, the manager talking about how the Yakuza is threatening his fighter isn't a very wise idea. That's like a shop owner in Little Italy telling the NY Times that he's being shook down by the Gambinos. |

This is a JOKE that was taken wildly out of context. The fact that its posted on some random sports site nobody has heard of, and not anywhere else, says it all
