What Affliction Needs To Do To Sell Ppvs

dematt30 · 05-15-2008, 01:48 PM

Let me state this is just my opinion im not business man by any degree but i have some common sense and I'm thinking we all know the money Affliction is spending on the fighters production etc, and I do know there a successful clothing company that advertises on tv, but I sit here and think that no MMA organization advertises on ESPN i mean honeslty what would be a better channel to advertise on than ESPN the sportscenter of the world. I honestly think if Affliction advertises on ESPN they will pick up more buys than UFC which advertises on spike and a few other small channels. I think this would be a great way to be successful and will pick up those "Average Joe's, or just your casual fight fans" the way UFC picks them up by just their name.. so let me know what everyone thinks about this?

Advertising on ESPN will make very little difference.

This show won't do more than 100,000 buys, no matter what they do. And that number may be exceptionally generous.

One problem, Fedor/Timmy are not household names. Chuck/Tito/Matt Hughes are.

Only Hardcore MMA fans will buy this. And there are even the cheapskate Sherdog bros who will spend hours trying to find an illegal feed of the event on the nex instead of supporting MMA/NON UFC PPVs.
