Who is the next cashcow?

[mirror45]

Max Holloway

 

[CereserBr]

Perry and Garbrandt

 

[Robbie Corleone]

Artem Lobov

 

[beastman]

 

[Johnny Rosa]

With Jones maybe out for 4 years, Lesnar not coming back, Ronda retired, GSP fighting 2 or 3 times max, and Conor banking 100M for the MayMac fight, UFC needs a new (or a couple) cashcow.

There was some talk about Cody Garbrand having star potential but he does not pull any numbers.

Perry may have some kind of superstar aura but he needs to knock out some people and now he is after the top 10 where it becomes harder. Im not sure he even gets through Ponzi.

UFC needs a new cashcow. I remember when Conor made his debut we already knew the kid was going to be huge. The post fight interview was pure gold.

Perry and Garbrand... Seriously?

 

[dc007]

This is the problem ! Pride was making money with Gomi or Fujita and they are not that good as fighters, but they were marketed.

To be fair, you're forgetting they were Japanese in a Japanese promotion in Japan with a ton of national pride.

 

[MCS]

Gus if he gets the belt

Let's see!

At FLW, you have nobody, most of the fans don't really give a crap about FLW.

AT BW, the only one could be Cody. But he is a BW, still. And those necktats don't really help him. Too much is too much. Also, he doesn't speak much, like Conor. When he was invited at Rogan's podcast with Faber, that chinny lesbian did most of the talking. Cody was just there.
Cruz is too nice, and TJ clearly not, he looks like the smaller brother of Gaethje.

At FW, you don't have any option. Max? Hmmm, he has an amazing winning streak, but he is not marketable. A skinny ugly tattooed hawaiian guy. Well, Conor was also a skinny ugly tattoed irish guy who looked like he had AIDS, but, unlike Max, Conor knew how to curse.
Oh, I forgot, Brian Ortega can be marketable? I don't know!

LW - Gaethje is marketable. He is undefeated, he looks OK, he can speak, well, he can, for a fighter he is OK.
Tony is also marketable because he is weird and crazy and wild. Wild Ferg!
Kevin Lee is also like... marketable, you know, for the Kardashian fans... l

WW - Perry and Wonderboy could be marketable. But Wonderboy is too nice and Perry cannot really speak. Woodley is a big NO, he is black.

MW - Salty Luke is marketable (model) and Knuckles too (warrior)

LHW - Gus, if he wins some more fights.

At HW, no one. Maybe Stipe, but he is too nice. The others are ugly fat guys who don't speak English well!

At chicks divisions, maybe PVZ if she does porn.

 

[Vegeta]

Maybe a bit old, but Saki could be huge (EU and Japan).

 

[Munnings242]

If EL Cucuy beats McGregor he'll be a superstar. Agree about the marketing, for all fighters not named McGregor.

It didn't work for Amanda

 

[flyingscissorsheelhook]

If Black Beast can get some top 10 wins he could potentially draw some money.

 

[sub_thug]

Literally no one on the UFC's roster. The UFC has totally painted themselves into a corner by putting all their eggs into the baskets known as Ronda and Conor, and now, they are realizing that they are up a creek without a paddle.

 

[Metheus]

I've heard good things about Todd LaFondla and Paul Ahnmidyk.

Also that Young Erick Silva.

 

[Coreytron]

They need to be smart about whoever they market.. Probably hasn’t worked out too well with PVZ and Sage, and Ronda and Conor are rich as fuck now and couldn’t care less about fighting. Double edged sword really

 

[kimocomplex]

Gaethje last fight was cant miss TV

if he has another fight like that with Eddie then....



money will rain

this wont happen only in Japan. The problem is that UFC has monopoly and they are killing mma. wish Bellator and Rizin could join forces, but there is difficult with the groups of interests. Maybe add ACB, ONE, KSW, FFN and some brazilian org to the group.

Floyd Mayweather is black, as was (and still is) Mike Tyson

but even just in MMA, Jon Jones was a star and he's black.

Dude, it was related to Woodley permanently complaining about racism.

 

[cevo]

Kevin Lee in a couple years if he gets his shit together. (inb4 120K PPV)

 

[SMEGMA]

Conor isn't a "kid".
