PBF-JMM PPV sale will be in trouble IF....

Thatz how I see it! I think we might even see Fedor against someone else 1st before seeing him agains Brock!!

 

The markets aren't mutually exclusive, especially when it comes to casual fans.

 

you people missed my post... which explains why it would never happen

 

Bingo.

Both sports have their hardcore exclusive fans...but the all important big buy aka the casualites are still up for grabs.

 

It's not wrong but that's not what's being debated at this point.

What's being debated is the idea that the two markets don't compete for the same fanbase. That's what's being debated right now.

 

edit

 

Technically Showtime is in a good spot. Strikeforce does very well for them ratings and endorsement wise and if they get the super six going and it turns out well, they can milk both fan bases.

 

they do though.... each fan base has a maximum of probably (depending on who's fighting) between 250k - 500k ... the rest of the people ordering are casuals who just saw the advertising and were interested

if you had these 2 events on the same day it would force anywhere from 200-600k people to choose between 2 different events and basically the majority would choose what ever had the best advertising which will obviously be the boxing match.... the rest will pick the mma fight... but either way it will be stupid because both will get hurt because of this

 

Chances are the majority would go with the names they recognized. Whether we'd like to admit it or not, Kimbo Slice (of all people) would probably outsell the top MMA fighter and the top boxer put together.

 

They are mostly two different fan bases unless it's a mega event, the Floyd/Marquez fight is going to do some big numbers and the UFC wants to change up the main event because the one originally planned was horrible.

MMA = Cheap beer - You know what you're paying for and it gets you drunk.

Boxing = Fine Wine - It's an acquired taste and if you didn't like it the first time you think it sucks. Especially if you're young White and love cheap beer.

 

Nothing like an elitist attitude to help entice new fans to join your sport in desperate need of new fans.

 

BRO, that **** works everytime....they must not keep notes in their system cause everytime i complain, they give me 20 dollars credit ....one time i had 3 of those credits on one bill :good

plus, just mention you're gonna switch to dish netowork and they'll suck your dick over the phone....literally

 

I'm on it!! I could use some credits anyway!!!:yep
