Are GRBs the most violent events in the Universe?

Considering a GRB event as a relativistic flux where the relativistic beam makes radiation become anisotropic, we are able to show that the required intrinsic energy associated with these events is significantly smaller than those values commonly presented in literature. Our results show energy values around $10^{44}$ ergs for Lorentz $Γ$ factor $\sim 10$ and around $10^{38}$ ergs for $Γ\sim 300$, values which are more compatible with energies involved in AGN events rather than those related to the formation of stellar black holes and hypernovas.
