Im fustrated to see so much talent on this card and there is an oppertunity for us to get to see even more of the card, yet it seems like very few people even care.

BTW we should send emails to kevin iole too, he loves to spew pro Zuffa propaganda and he has a pretty wide audience so that could really help us. Also someone should post this on mmatv or whatever that one website is, I don't have a account there.

I don't remember exactly what I wrote, but I bascially said that

WEC 34 is a incredibly stacked card and I don't think 2 hours would be enough and that MMA fans all over the world are trying to get versus to change it to a 3 hour timeslot just like how we did for UFN 13 and what did he think about this card and our effort.

The goal of my emails was to try and get them to write an article about this. (If I recall correctly they wrote an article on the UFN 13 gets moved to 3 hours deal)

For those who may want to contact other media outlets and MMA experts/personalities, here is a semi-generic email I sent Kevin Iole of Yahoo!Sports:
Quote:
Mr. Iole,
I just wanted to draw your attention to an email writing campaign myself and other members of the internet MMA community Sherdog.net have been running. We are asking the Versus cable network to provide a 3 hour timeslot for coverage of Zuffa's WEC 34 event 'Faber vs. Pulver' scheduled for June 1st. Seeing fans rally being Ultimate Fight Night 13 and getting a 3 hour spot on SpikeTV was the inspiration for this campaign, along with the many compelling fights by some of the top fighters in the 135 and 145 pound weight divisions. What are your thoughts on this actually happening? A shoutout in your next mailbag wouldn't hurt the cause.

Regards,
Brad
P.S. Here is a link to the message board origin of the campaign: http://www.sherdog.net/forums/f2/ema...ign-get-wec-34 don't forget to copy the correct link, this is autocondensed
