Fedor is so great that other fighters are honored and excited to fight on the same card as him

Ever hear a fighter say I am honored to fight on the same card as Brock? lol

on top of that its only available to a tiny % of the worlds population, strikeforce has zero global strategy, thats why people call them a regional, smalltime show. just lame!

M-1 just locked up a tv deal with Bravo in Europe. How is that “regional”?

About time, hopefully this means that I get to properly watch this weekend’s show. Bravo is a good start and a proper TV deal in this country is long overdue for SF. Saying that making these online videos US only is ridiculous, why limit your audience? I just don’t get it.

Bravo is a british channell through sky subscription, sky is owned by the same chap who owns foxtel in australia but we dont get bravo, please send me details of this deal intro? you got a link? if they just signed the deal i doubt they will change their weekend schedule on 3 days notice.

intro – m1 challenge is shown in australia, did m1 sign a deal to show m1 fights or strikeforce fights, btw the rest of europe doesnt get bravo so its still a tiny number added on even if the uk satelite customers do get it which i doubt, david if you have sky subscription could you check the schedule on bravo?

Scott Coker said that M-1 is keeping their end of the bargain and did some great things oversees by shoring up some tv deals. He mentioned Bravo, so since Coker is the owner of Strikeforce it’s safe to assume that SF fights will be aired on Bravo.

Not sure if this Saturdays is going to be aired, but Coker was adamant this deal was done.

I can’t for the life of me remember where I read it.

Bravo’s one of Branson’s channels not Murdoch’s, it’s available on Virgin and Sky just like pretty much all British channels (there’s the occassional exclusive, Sky have more HD channels and there was a time that Sky took their channels from Virgin but right now they offer near identical content).

I apologise to SF and M-1, the show is on Bravo at 9pm on Sunday (Sky channel 123, Virgin channel 136). Great news for UK MMA fans, they need to do a better job at promoting it though there’s more advertising for BAMMA than SF. I wouldn’t have known if Intro hadn’t let me know about the TV deal, thanks for that mate I’ll be sure to watch the repeat on Sunday.

Intro, there was a tiny snip of that in the press conference break down that mania did the other day. Coker basically said he didn’t expect a ton out of M-1 this early in the indeavor, but they are doing their fair share of work to promote this event. Or something to that effect.

its a done deal, and its being promoted all over Europe by M-1, so of course its being aired outside of the USA.

Finally I got to see the 360 show. Very interesting, Fedor really is a wild man and you’ve got to respect Grim, hopefully Rogers can shock the world though I bet Dana and the sheep will all bash both fighters win or lose.

I’m assuming he does now though.

LOL Introvert, did you lose a bet?

Sort of.

I picked shogun…OJR Machida.

did anyone else notice, not at one point, did they even mention Strikeforce? they didn’t even mention that it was on cbs either i believe. how can you have your fighter go on espn and talk about his upcoming fight with emullnann-ko and not even mention what org he fights for, unless Strikeforce is purposley trying to do this, hoping that casual fans will confuse them with the ufc. LOL. this is about as bad when they signed heschel walker. he was all over espn anot 1 single time did they mention that he signed with SF. they mentioned the ufc a bunch though. i love it that SF is giving us all these “free” fights, but they are eerily starting to remind me of elitexc.

Introvert! U didnt lose any bet! change your name back!

JB, the UFC are masters at promoting fights, SF have a long way to go before they reach that standard because of their amateurish promoting skills. Having Grim get interviewed by some clueless woman is not going to get people watching the show, I’m surprised that Mayhem’s not been doing more interviews as the only reason he got the Shields fight was that dumb MTV show and his annoying personality, what’s the point if he’s not even promoted by SF.

it would help if he actually mentioned the organization that he fights for, did you not watch the clip?

j.b.

I already know who he fights for, so I guess I didn’t notice.

you should. those “little things” like that are important when promoting the MAIN EVENT of an mma show. hardcore fans only make up a very small portion of the overall fans that watch and spend money on the sport. things like this, that go unoticed to the untrained eye such as yours, is what makes the difference between being succesfull and failing miserably. what difference does it make who wins the fight if nobody is watching? fedor may not care about money for himself, but how else is he going to pay for his 30 man entorouge that he brings with him everywhere. i can gaurantee you that brett cares, he just so new to all this, he’s not used to it. as far as M-1 suing Affliction, what a shtty thing to do! Atencio may not have been the smartest of guys when it came to mma, but he did have some decency to him. he cut everything and everyone loose so quick so the fighters, you know those dudes who do the fighting, could go on and try and catch on with another organization, and make money, instead of holding them hostage like elite and the scumbag shaws did. he tried to do right by his wrongs and douches like vadim and gary/jerry millen try and cash in on that. they will lose, i can promise you that. M-1 is nothing but a nickel and dime org that is desperatley trying to make it in the states, b/c mma is not poular at all in russia. that’s your lesson for today.

your welcome! :)

Sure, but from what I’ve seen of him he tends to take the middle and throws punches.

I know. I’m just sayin’ that if Fedor clinches with him, he’d better push Fedor against the cage as quickly as possible or he’s going down fast.

that wasnt even clever! silly troll
