Elsalvajeloco Posted January 17, 2015 Author Share Posted January 17, 2015 I don't have now far Gillette Stadium is to the Garden but even if the game end at 9:00 the idea you are going to haul ass for 3 or 4 fights is nuts. Especially given the prices of UFC shows lately. Especially if my team lost. But maybe I am wrong and there is a strong crowd of non Pats fans in the areaI believe Simmons has said Gillette is like 45+ minutes from the city and that's under the best of situations and not game day/night. Millions of people live in those areas. Everyone isn't going to the game. This isn't like when Glover fought in Belo Horizonte during a big local soccer game across town. I'm not really sure I understand your point. I understand millions live in the greater Boston area but the question what was brought up was someone going from the game to the fights. My point is does it really matter? The crossover isn't that insane. When Teixeira fought Bader in Belo Horizonte (MG), they ended up with only 5,000 people in 20,000 seater because there was a big soccer game going on. MMA has a solid following in in the city and Glover was a hometown guy, but they were going against basically a religion. In the U.S., it's very different as a good portion of MMA fans are not "sports" fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Ken Erico Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 So if Siver wins,does it become Dropkick Murphy's law? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVileOne Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 If Siver wins, you can probably just book Aldo/Edgar II. Or hope that Siver gets popped for steroids again, win is overturned and give McGregor the shot anyway . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 McGregor getting that facetime during the NFC Championship Game. Now that's promotion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 McGregor getting that facetime during the NFC Championship Game. Now that's promotion. OH YEAH! People are probably now like after the AFC title game yes I have something to watch now. Very Smart of Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 My question: Where has this been for the last year or so for the main Fox shows? If people don't watch the show, let it be because they just don't want to watch the show. Not because you had no advertising for it or the lack of trying to promote it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 My guess is this show gets promoted that way because one No NFL going against it and two: the Conor Hype Train hoping to get people to watch him on free TV then turn those people into Eyeballs/Buys for his title shot against Aldo just my two cents. No back to the NFL thread to talk about my Packers I will be available during halftime if you want to talk about it further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how such decisions are made or what goes on behind closed doors. Maybe FOX TV has only so much of an advertising budget they are willing to commit to the UFC. Not sure why they don't pimp it more during those games, but it's a good question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epwar Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I love Joe Buck and Troy Aikman pretending they actually knew who McGregor was. "I've watched a lot of him doing that fighting thing and he is special." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Don't give Fox the idea because Joe Buck is our A announcer in all sports he should call a UFC on FOX card if a title is on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 I told you Matsuda-Sanchez and Soriano-Rosa would be good. Bittersweet seeing that Rosa pulled through but Soriano is probably gonna get a pink slip for being 0-3 in the UFC. He could easily beat some of the dudes on the FW roster, but he had a terrible draw as far as opponents. Kawajiri was too good at wrestling, Skelly was too gritty, and Rosa had awesome cardio. He will probably resurface in WSOF or a Florida org before getting another shot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Yeah, I'll see myself out, I guess I'm the only one that finds that disgusting that they're using it as a promotional tool to push an interview with him. I'll watch tonight's card without coming back in here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 You want to talk about jinx? John Howard was getting hyped at his gym and said Lorenz wasn't gonna knocked him out on one of the Embedded episodes. And if he did, he would give him props. Well, you better start handing out them props! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
