looking forward to seeing him getting put to sleep, he recks my head cant stand that ***** he makes my blood boil with his big goofy head
I skipped 149. It looked dross and appears it was. No different to 148 147 146 145 143 142 141... all rubbish. Not one good ppv card all year.
How the **** can you hate Riddle? He always wants to go to war, he's thrilled to be fighting, always gives his best effort, always has a massive genuine smile on his face and you never hear him say a bad word about anyone. :hat
UFC probably have in their tv deal a guaranteed minimum rating. Since UFC still has relatively low ratings for TV. Whats good for the TV network is good for us. More Lyoto and Shogun type cards
The UFC has done this to themself. Over saturation is killing the brand. They'd be better off running a stacked show every few months PRIDE style. :yep
Tv deals sound like a way to go forward for the sport. People like the sport but I mean who would pay to see a soccer game, nba, nfl or watch some rugby. They pull massive ratings and are the relevant sports frankly. a fighting sport doesn't have to be different. Big TV ratings > PPV buys
This is correct.Zuffa is killing the golden goose.It's a huge opportunity for boxing to get it's act together as UFC fans are finally getting it-UFC is a greedy organisation which caters to Fox due to it's contract.The UFC fan boys who were buying every PPV event are now clued in.Better later than never.
Completely agree with the notion that they are over saturating the market. I'd much prefer maybe 4 shows a year that are unbelievable. They are seemingly holding bi-weekly ppvs. It is ridiculous. I haven't bought one in years at this point.
You want four shows a year, each of them five or six hours long? :huh The way to get the sport mainstream is to have a lot of fights on free TV. Fights every week if they can. Like boxing used to have in its heyday. PPV killed boxing, pretty much. It led to ridiculous money demands, which led to shitty undercards, which meant that people couldn't follow anyone's career except for a half-dozen guys at best. PPV in the UFC is alright if the cards are good. Ideally, I'd like to see PPVs reserved for title fights, but realistically that's not gonna happen. But the way forward is cards like the Fox one a couple of days ago. Fights on free TV at primetime, featuring up and comers and guys competing for title shots. :hat
I have no problem at all with regularly televised free fights. But the amount of ppvs the UFC holds is obscene imo. How anyone can purchase events with any degree of frequency is beyond me. Great cards every couple months is fine. Sadly, it seems as those these are few and far between. Four or five years ago, I would consider myself a hardcore fan. These days, I'm casual at best.
