In a very unusual bet, Roy Nelson has made an agreement with one of his friends that if he gets 100,000 ‘likes’ on his Facebook page he will cut down to the 205lbs light heavyweight division. He has set the deadline for this bet for two weeks. He started just over 12hrs ago at 31,982 fans and he now has 48,967 fans. If you do the math he has added almost 17,000 fans in just over 12hrs.
Below is Nelson explaining the bet in his own words to BloodyElbow.com…
The reason is my friend and I had a discussion about what was better? I think twitter just because of use and for fans interaction, but Facebook is 20x bigger. So we decided to bet. I said if it so easy and great I should be able add 100K fans in 2 weeks because I have that on twitter. Facebook is bigger and better so this should be easy. Right?
Bet is I will try to get to 205 if I can add 100k to Facebook.com/RoyNelsonUFC in two weeks. I love to win bets. Plus he will have to give me a part in his next movie.
