Slap fighting bouts have gone viral on social media and the Nevada Athletic Commission has sanctioned the Power Slap League for competitions in Las Vegas
White said the ratings of the TBS reality show “Power Slap: Road to the Title” bear out the early popularity of what to many is still a curiosity.
But White’s enterprise was hampered when he was captured on video slapping his wife on New Year’s Eve. White apologized, but has acknowledged it damaged efforts to get the league off the ground.
