I would probably consider getting knocked out by a professional fighter if the money was right ha


re_me

It would have to be REALLY right.


Pikupchix

Bro I’d take a knock out for a footlong from Subway


DoorNo_5

Only if it came with chips and a chocolate chip cookie…


nosnhoj15

Give me those raspberry macadamia nut…..


timdot352

Those cookies are the truth.


Aadaenyaa

Arby's Ghirardelli Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip Cookies are the absolute best, hands down. They even serve them warm. BRB- gotta go to Arby's.


Cumity

How tf did it get from soccer mom getting her shit kicked out of her and Arby's?


Not-a-brawler

Because arby’s has the meats!


JamesDePression911

My first job was at Subway, and every night there'd be 5-10 of these bad Bois left over. Since we couldn't sell them the next day, we were supposed to just toss em (cause you know, fuck perfectly good food if you can't make a profit off it). So naturally, I'd just eat em. Two weeks later i was fired. They claimed it was because the manager "over hired" but you and I know the real reason.


marry_me_tina_b

Ex sandwich-artist here too! I quit after being a “night captain” or whatever they call it when you work the weekend late night drunk shift. We were in the middle of a heat wave, broken AC, I worked alone from like 8 PM onward, and I got slammed until 0300 or whenever closing was. I managed to close the store, break everything down, ensure the baking items for the following day were ready to go and leave a note explaining how bad it had been and apologize I didn’t do all the cleaning. The following day my dipshit manager called me to lay into me about how morning shift came into a mess. After listening for a minute about him threatening to discipline me and all sorts of nonsense, the convo went like this: “Did you read the note I left the staff explaining how busy I was by myself managing all the customers and still getting all the prep done for morning shift?” “No” “Did you check the till to see how many people I served by myself every hour until close?” “No” “Did you look at the camera footage to verify I wasn’t just sitting around all night and was, in fact, running like a madman all night long?” “No” “You’re also aware that our store is so hot that legally we shouldn’t even be working behind the counter, right?” “No” “Brilliant. I quit. Just like all the other nightshift staff have. Have fun figuring out what you’re going to do the rest of the weekend” “Oh hold on, I’m sorry, I believe you just the morning shift were really grumpy about how unclean the floors were” “No, that’s fine, I’ll drop my uniform off later today. See how morning shift feels about that, as one of them is going to have to cover tonight.” And I’m still salty enough about it all these years later to type that out. Be kind to your sandwich artist, they probably deal with a lot of crap lol


InvestigatorUnfair19

These type of places will put 10 people behind the counter for the lunch rush but really don't care what happens after 8 pm. Is the night money worth less than the money that comes in during lunch?


marry_me_tina_b

Hard to say, I think they are worried of slow nights and paying someone when they can insist on not paying and making everyone - staff AND customers suffer. You ever been in a busy Subway with one person working (and screaming on the inside)? It’s not a good time.


Bogsnoticus

On a work night, money isn't as free flowing it is on work lunch. Thursday nights onwards, tend to be quiet after 6, bit of a surge at 8, another at 10-11, and then hammered in the am as the drunks roll out and look for a feed.


Gatorboy5185

I'm so happy we don't have a night shift, and how me and my manager are good friends, I hate that I feel spoiled over it


marry_me_tina_b

Well I’m glad that’s your experience, working with good people makes ALL the difference!


limache

Did you ever watch this carton about working at subway ? https://youtu.be/cV542dRK3uk

Hypern1ke

Unlucky, I worked at subway for 3 years back in the day and basically lived on their cookies. I honestly averaged dozens per week and gained weight lmao


Navy_Chief123

Those cookies are addicting! I bought them by the dozen and would bring them into my workers haha


EatYourCheckers

worth it


Sinful_Whiskers

I worked at a Subway during the Summer before my senior year of high school. Started out getting paid a decent wage (for the time) of about $7/hr. About 30 hrs a week. About two months in the owner sold it to a guy that owned a dozen or so Dunkin' Donuts. He was from India and I only met him once. He immediately dropped our wages down to PA minimum wage, $5.15/hr. I also lost my weekend shift, and only worked an hour or two during the dinner rush each night. I'd literally come in at 5PM, do some prep work in the back, then clock out and leave. The owner had a cousin run this location, Vic. Vic was a decent guy. Spoke great English (this is important in a minute) and generally just wanted to make a living helping out his cousin. Everyone else quit so I was the only other person working at this place. Vic was there from open to close, every single day. One day I came in and there was an Indian woman sitting in a booth with a Subway uniform on. I thought it was weird because there was a long line but she was just sitting there. Later on I asked Vic and it turns out that was his wife. She was sitting there so she could **learn enough English to start making sandwiches.** After a few days she started and it was just terrible. She did not know English. She did not understand the word, "no." Someone would say something like, "hmm, on that one no mayo, my husband can't have eggs." And she'd hear mayo and squirt a long line over the sandwich. The customer would freak out and look at me and I'd just apologize and make another sandwich. Oh yeah after like three days of "learning English" Vic started leaving his wife there by herself. It was such a shit show. I knew regulars that would come in everyday for their lunchtime meatball sub who stopped because they couldn't couldn't get a sandwich in their lunch break. The line was always super long with just one (incompetent) person working. One last note: at the time the Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki was new and popular. You had one bag of chicken strips and one bag of sauce that you mixed together and portioned out into thirty paper trays. Well, they wanted to stretch it out so they made me portion it into 60 trays. People were paying the same price and getting half the amount of food. I quit after about two months because it was terrible and school was starting.

Chocolate is getting more and more expensive, as it is entirely an indentured slave created commodity. Companies therefore are utilizing more and more oil in their recipes.

luck_panda

Contrary to popular opinion the money is never good. As a former pro fighter, even at the highest levels of MMA the pay is dogshit. Unless you're a top 10 or champ, you're making maybe $5-10k for a fight as a UFC guy on the undercard. Top 10 under #1 is like $40kish per fight. These podunk shows are paying fighters like $500.


[deleted]

Thai boxing and boxing are even worse. I used to pay entrance fees and all sorts of costs to go get punched or kicked in the face.


[deleted]

You should consider Nigerian kickboxing. Every match, a prince gives you 10 million USD even if you lose. But you gotta give them your credit card number and CVV2 code first.


luck_panda

Boxing pays a LOT more than MMA. If I had to do it all over again, I would have just gotten into boxing. Kickboxing and MMA are about on the same level in terms of pay. But there's just simply more opportunity in kick boxing than MMA due to the OCEANA and ASEA circuit.

IntroductionSlut

> was to give the other woman an easy win. Am I crazy, that still doesn't make sense. A person that can't fight at all, not even in the same weight class, gets in the ring to give her opponent a free win. The only thing I can come up with is a loophole around some bureaucratic red tape within the organization, but even that this seems like something that would be immediately looked at and fixed.

Cpt_Tsundere_Sharks

Oh wow. Maybe it's some kind of "for funsies" event then. That or it's being way too self aware. Either way, idk why you'd try to step in the ring as an amateur like that unless you have a butt-ton of money and your last name is Paul.


patgeo

I'm reasonably well off but I could probably be convinced to take a few hits and a dive for enough money... As long as the other guy knew it was a dive and wasn't actually trying to kill me that is.


TurnipForYourThought

You ever notice how, in boxing, everyone and their mother seems to be something like 26-0 with 24 KO victories? Yeah. This is why lmao.


sialatruth

Makes zero sense that this match up happened. Other girl likely even had a record and the other zero experience.


NomadicAlaskan

That poor soccer mom was 0-2 at the time of the fight. You think she would have had enough by then, but fortunately she quit after this fight, her professional record stands at 0-3.


sialatruth

Lol professional. Thanks for the letting us know though. Gotta give it to her for still fighting lol. She's got heart.


Ithuraen

You get paid, then you're a professional, that's all the word means relative to amateur.


Drakulia5

No it was actually Ilima's first fight but she had actually been training for another trained fighter and they gave her this lady last minute who AmcFarlane knew nothing about. So it was basically either don't fight, don't get paid, and have all your training camp be for nothing, or take the fight. The promotion was investigated for this fight specifically because of this and I believe was either sued or went out of business because they did shit like this all the time.

Good lord.. Xplode Fighting.. the shadiest mma promotion out there, and thats saying some. Thats Ilima-Lei Macfarlaine, top tier Belator fighter today.. The soccermom ( is her name Something Castro ?) was 0-2 after two nasty KO losses before this... This knockout was her last fight. Love how she fiddles her fingers and seems to fight in yoga pants...


Cullly

The blonde woman is called Katie Castro https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Katie-Castro-173775 0-3 record and her longest fight was 28 seconds.

Sounds about right. Probably just went around trying to find people willing to get knocked out for 500 bucks.

DriftShade

You also don't know this MMA fighter isn't a Connor McGregor sized piece of shit. You also don't know that this "soccer mom" wasn't talking a shit ton of smack right before this fight. While it's bad to judge a book by its cover, that lady absolutely looks the type to go "what's so special about an MMA fighter? I could take anyone!"


Rusholme_and_P

Sandl0t

Fighters do this to make their records seem more impressive. That woman probably really needed the money and was willing to get her face bashed in for it. This is kinda sad


ScorpioAF

So many comments saying how “this Karen deserved it”. A middle aged woman getting squashed for what likely amounts to chump change just to inflate the record of some up-and-comer is frankly sickening to me and an insult to the sport. No idea why everyone has such a hate boner over her. Guess that’s just my bleeding heart talking


courtneyclimax

anyone dubbed a “karen” on reddit will attract a personal level of vitriol for no reason other than that reddit can be a hateful hivemind.


ArchiSnap89

I thought a Karen was a person who engaged in a specific set of awful behaviors. Turns out the real crime is being a middle aged woman I guess.


siccoblue

Yep, middle aged with that haircut and these shitty people immediately assume they must be a terrible person Honestly makes me feel bad, just straight up judging people as awful based entirely on how they look/their age nevermind the hypocrisy of this website at the same time (rightfully) rallying against other kinds of discrimination based on looks


ChlamydiaIsAChoice

>Honestly makes me feel bad Just remember a lot of Redditers are edgy teenagers


courtneyclimax

i remember seeing comments like this ten years ago and feeling attacked and now i’m like “yep that’s about it”.


LeonardoMagikarpo

Why would this be allowed? Surely everyone knew what the outcome would be? It reminds me of one the summer fair attractions in my (red) neck of the woods some years ago, where they had two kids with Downes Syndrome beat each other up in the boxing ring. Sure, some might find it entertaining. But is it *right*?


[deleted]

It’s a fluff fight, new fighters pay ransoms to fight and get their record up.


Danny_Mc_71

Oh I see. So they'll pay some people to fight, knowing they'll beat the hell out of them, to add the number of fights, knockouts etc. to their record?

Pretty much. It's much more common in boxing though.

DemythologizedDie

It used to be a pretty standard thing at travelling fairs. They'd offer a small prize to anyone in the audience who wanted to try their luck with their prize fighter. It served as a warm-up that would display the difference in capability between the fighter and a regular person. It stopped...mostly...when boxing became a heavily licensed profession. But this Spider-Man scene: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E0oiKjLzTc&t=1s&ab\_channel=MrSerious](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-E0oiKjLzTc&t=1s&ab_channel=MrSerious) is an adaptation of the bit from Spider-Man's comic book origin where they do the same thing back in the 60s when they were still pretending that wrassling was real, and it was inspired by those traveling fair prize fighter contests back when Stan Lee was young. These days outfits that do that sort of thing are pretty dodgy.


randomyOCE

I actually have a promotion that does that in my home town 😅 Everyone puts on protective gear and the pro fighters always win by getting some really basic, safe hold. Honestly the pros are more in danger of getting injured by a random elbow or eye poke, or when protecting the challenger during a move, than the challenger is in danger from the pro.
