Doing such a horrible job of marketing V. Klitschko vs Gomez? Good lord, they should be promoting/advertising the **** out of this thing.
You should ask yourself why is Gomez vs Klitschko on ESPN rather than Showtime or HBO. Did you ever stop to think about that, Widdow Faker?
Yea, I said this earlier. 5 days until this fight and not one single advertisement. I'm guessing they think March Madness is going to beat the fight in terms of ratings, but I don't understand putting up one commercial for it.
Co-sign on that...I like the Klitchkos way of fighting...They do what there supposed to do and give good kos...but the truth is there style isn't as marketable..I MEAN ESPN:rofl:rofl
The fight being on ESPN is a great thing for boxing. Are you out of your head? Many more people have ESPN, than have HBO and/or Showtime. WHY this fight is on ESPN doesn't matter. The fact that ESPN has a WBC Heavyweight Championship fight scheduled for this weekend and are completely dropping the ball when they could be really promoting this thing to the public is awful.
You guys are backwards as hell. I am happy as **** that you two aren't in charge of marketing this sport. You don't have a clue.
Because no one is that intrested in a Ukranian/German fighting a Cuban/German outside of the diehard boxing fans.... it has no appeal to the casual fan
And you do? Your idea of a Superfight would be Oscar against a tomato can, flanked by the Klitschkos against tomato cans...problem is if things got sour you'd probably pull an Ahmet Ohner and ring the bell in the middle of the round. :roll: Truth is that the Vitali-Gomez fight will be going head-to-head with March Madness, which means that ESPN will actually LOSE money promoting the fight because it will take up ad space from other companies. The only other alternative would be to discuss it or mention it frequently on SportsCenter, but again, the Klitschkos' low-risk keep-away style of fighting, while effective and successful, will not make "People's Champs" out of them, especially the type with the power to put a dent into the rating machine that is CBS's March Madness.
Because this fight is boring, its a mismatch Vitali is way too good for that other guy, don't remember his name...
YOUR THE 1 WITHOUT A CLUE...UR BOY IS FIGHTING ON ESPN FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS:rofl:rofl!!! IF WEDNESDAY NITE FIGHTS STILL WAS ON I BET ITTA BE WEDNESDAY NITE FIGHTS!! TELL ME WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME LENNOX LEWIS FOUGHT ON ESPN BEFORE HE RETIRED?/ HOW BOUT MIKE TYSON? SO AGAIN U SAID I DON'T HAVE A CLUE....:nono
Now I know you can't be this dense. Why did Showtime and HBO choose not to pick up this fight? Think about it for a second, it wont hurt.
Chances are they already went over their budget procuring the rights to broadcast the fight. Probably not enough cash for marketing.
Not complaining at all...but for someone to say that Vitali and Wlad are "very marketable" is ignorant if u know what I mean...This fight bein on ESPN is exactly why the HW division sucks...the only good match out there is Wlad and Vitali vs each other which will never happen!
