KSW promoter Lawandowski again accuses OKTAGON of faking their numbers.

The OKTAGON MMA organization pulled off a feat last year. It organized two stadium events, the second of which in Frankfurt broke the previous record for MMA attendance in Europe. However, after the event, the management of the Polish organization KSW, which had previously held the record, questioned the data, and now they hit OKTAGON again. "I don't know if the numbers that OKTAGON released are correct. You can publish anything. We filled the stadium twice in Poland and the numbers that we published were really based on the tickets sold. I don't want to talk about OKTAGON, I wasn't there. I'm not here to compete with them. My business strategy is not to destroy OKTAGON, it's important for me to build KSW. I don't care what they do. My goal is not to compete with them. This year I want to focus on building the KSW brand, we don't need to look at what they do, what's important is what we want to do," Lewandowski told Kaocko.cz. "Cheating with numbers? When you're talking about me and what I do, I don't care, but when someone says that my people are falsifying numbers and everyone in OKTAGON is a liar, they should probably talk to someone close to them and have them explain that it's embarrassing. It's getting a bit much. Even Polish fans don't like to see it. So in Dusseldorf we also falsified numbers? In Třinec we also falsified numbers? Are we still falsifying numbers and falsifying people in the hall? I don't understand it. But it's up to them. I'll just say that we're not the ones who had the 1+1 ticket deal," Novotný responded to Polish Fighters Info. KSW sold tickets for its last stadium event in a 1 ticket + 1 free package for a while, which made it a little easier to fill the tournament.
