The «Kloszard Combat» tournament, where homeless individuals were supposed to fight in cages for an online audience, ultimately did not take place. However, those who planned to profit from it have not abandoned their ideas. The case is currently being handled by the prosecutor’s office in Gda\u0144sk.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday morning, May 18, Minister for Equality Katarzyna Kotula testified at the District Prosecutor's Office in Gda\u0144sk. Kotula is appearing in the case as a witness regarding "Prime MMA," which has caused public outcry due to one of its elements \u2014 the "Kloszard Combat" tournament<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prokuratura Rejonowa w Gda\u0144sku prowadzi post\u0119powanie wst\u0119pne w sprawie planowanej imprezy "Prime MMA". Na razie nikt nie us\u0142ysza\u0142 zarzut\u00f3w.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 There can be no consent for the monetization of actions that involve people in difficult life situations. This event was aimed at attracting such individuals, but above all \u2014 at making a profit. After the authorities in Lubin terminated the lease agreement for the venue, the organizers began searching for a new location to hold the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, this was not realized. But it is important for the state to finally develop effective response tools. Politicians can and should file statements with the prosecutor’s office, give testimonies, and most importantly \u2014 clearly state that there is no public consent for such «patoboi» and patostreaming, said Katarzyna Kotula at the press conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eight participants, a cage, and cameras<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to the deputy, Kloszard Combat was planned as an MMA gala featuring eight individuals \u2014 not professional fighters, but people in difficult life situations, specifically recruited for this event. The fights were supposed to be streamed online, with the organizers earning from views, subscriptions, and donations. This scheme is typical for pathostreaming: vulnerable participants, conflict or humiliation as «content,» and subsequent monetization of audience attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

W przypadku "Kloszard Combat" skala projektu by\u0142a szczeg\u00f3lnie zauwa\u017calna: pe\u0142noprawna organizacja, mo\u017cliwe umowy z uczestnikami oraz przemy\u015blana struktura wydarzenia. Teraz prokuratura musi ustali\u0107 kluczowe okoliczno\u015bci \u2014 czy umowy rzeczywi\u015bcie zosta\u0142y podpisane, jakie warunki zawiera\u0142y oraz kto by\u0142 odpowiedzialny za wyb\u00f3r uczestnik\u00f3w. Kwestia \u015bwiadomo\u015bci ma szczeg\u00f3lne znaczenie: wed\u0142ug doniesie\u0144 medialnych przynajmniej jeden z potencjalnych uczestnik\u00f3w mo\u017ce nie rozumie\u0107, na co dok\u0142adnie si\u0119 zgadza\u0142.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guardian of one of the participants learned about his alleged involvement in the show from the media. This circumstance, publicly announced by the guardians, became the starting point of interest in the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014  The only information available comes from the media, and I will also discuss this in the prosecutor’s office. It raises doubts about the awareness of the people who may have been involved in these patoboi. If the guardian claims they were unaware of the ward’s participation, yet hears about a signed contract, and similar information comes from other sources, it is essential to thoroughly verify: whether there was a contract, what documents were signed, and under what conditions. It is important to establish how the attempt to monetize such events occurred, \u2014 explained Kotula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
