Ariel's New Show Does 1+ Million Views - Powerful ESPN

[punkmother]

That instigating little shit definitely doesn't deserve it.

don't worry. eventually he will have to explain to his kids why he cried on the internet in front of the world.

I may not be the hero everyone wants, but my actually being involved & really technically knowledgeable from the NHB days means I am the hero MMA media needs

wow ego much?
You see like a smart and knowledgeable dude but the rash of self promotion is almost coming across as advertising and nobody wants that. Chill out and let it come more naturally man.

 

[HueyLewisFan24]

Lol I don't like when Rampage bullies people like this

 

[Blayt7hh]

Twitter's views count if someone just scrolls past the tweet that contains the video and it starts automatically playing. ESPN tweeted it out so a lot of people were going to scroll past it.

Also what a horrible platform to listen to Media on. No pause, rewind, close the tab you're fucked, switch tabs the volume stops.

Yeah this is clearly a padded number. Funny how many posters here bought it though

So he found 1million plus unemployed who actually have 5 hours to watch his show? Seriously, who has time for that on a Monday?

People that aren't wage slaves. People that work from home. People that are listen after work. The list goes on...

 

[aali14]

Hope he shits on Dana on the show then

 

[Mixedfights]

BS...a million ppl just scrolled on Twiter.

His real audience is like 4K.

There isn't a million ppl that even know the Helwani.

 

[Spoken]

Dude gets more views than fs1 ufc card

 

[MM808]

How does a show with a journalist talking about MMA do higher ratings than actual world class, free MMA?

Because everyone wants to hear the fighter’s thoughts and ppl love stories/drama

 

[papajohns]

Let the new set in....numbers will be awful.

 

[Peteyandjia]

Just checked the podcast charts, to see where it ranks in the niche sub-genre of sports podcasts - but before I could even get to that, there it was on the front page, #5 out of ALL podcasts. Holy shit.

 

[Peteyandjia]

Doubt that means anything. It's twitter afterall.

It’s not just twitter, he’s currently sitting at #5 on the podcast charts. Not for sports, out of all podcasts. That is huge.

 

[FrankieNYC]

Twitter numbers are exaggerated BS
But anybody that thought this would bomb with ESPN behind it is/was a fool.
Plus it lives on on YT

I tried explaining that in the "Ariel made a bad move going to ESPN thread" but some are just dense.

ESPN has 1.5 billion reasons to want Ariel to be successful

 

[lsa]

I regret making that gif.

You will go to Jews hell for that gif.

 

[Local Plata]

It’s not just twitter, he’s currently sitting at #5 on the podcast charts. Not for sports, out of all podcasts. That is huge.

Oh wow, that's nuts.

 

[GSP_37]

Does Ariel have a ESPN TV show? It'd watch that over UFC Tonight's nonsense any day.

 

[OrigFan255]

How does a show with a journalist talking about MMA do higher ratings than actual world class, free MMA?

The same reason so many sherdoggers believe Conor to be superhuman.....Delusional Thinking.

NOT 1 Title Defense, NOT 1!

 

[MMA]

I mean, if he uses this great platform to build excitement it could be really positive for the sport, help the fighters earn more and ensure that people can continue to pursue MMA as a career without going back to the dark ages.

But if he's just going to be negative and bitch about everything, and try to cast the sport in a bad light as he has repeatedly done, then I don't wish him well. And if MMA loses popularity, so does his show, so his brand of journalism never made sense to me.

Wow, that is impressive.

 

[MrDaneBrass]

His family has media connections most likely.
