We at FightMatrix are constantly working to improve the site. However, this is not our full-time gig, so we are also constantly looking for ways to make the site more profitable, which will ultimately allow us to apply more focus to the site and improve it even more.
We are bouncing around the idea of a paid feature, which will allow fighter managers or representatives to “own” a fighter in our database. This will allow them to publish contact info in the “hover over” record within the ranking pages, so that other reps can contact said fighters for fights. Of course, we also plan to add additional features to support this:
- An extended profile page with the ability for managers to add “additional information” regarding fight bookings — desired weights and locations for example.
- A small logo on the ranking pages to show that manager/rep info is available.
- Filter on the ranking pages to show only fighters with manager/rep information.
- Filter on the ranking pages to show only fighters with a home location (configurable by the manager/rep) in X miles of a set location in an attempt to make it easier to fill local fight cards.
- A “holding pen” to allow support for unranked and inactive fighters.
- Some other stuff we haven’t thought of yet….
As far as pricing goes, we’re looking at somewhere in the vicinity of $15-$20/year for the first fighter and slightly less for each additional. Perhaps we will also sell in blocks of 5 or 10 for more savings.
Thoughts and feedback are welcome:
