apparently not as that discussion ended well over a week ago and a new dissuasion with a different version of the topic started yesterday. Can you not understand the difference in time?

Because they are representative of hardcore kickfighting fans, they'll pretty much watch any combat sports event you put in front of them. These guys don't need fancy marketing campaigns or production values to watch the kind of shit that they do. But despite all that and despite identifying as kickfighting fans they still completely ignore stadium muay thai. The only thais you'll ever hear them bring up are kickboxing thais and the occasional international thai.
i'm not even convinced that they are representative of hardcore kickfighting fans. I don't follow K-1 or their fanbase closely enough to know exactly why but i can definitely see how K-1 could be more appealing to most people. I'm sure people who watch K-1 more than i do have already tried to explain why
It's funny, I don't see any of that shit because I don't follow those guys. Why do you, and why don't you bring those issues up to them rather then vent about them here? Seems a bit cowardly IMO...
No marketing is important but i have just never seen anything from glory besides social media which most of the thai promoters do as well. I have seen every event glory has done but the only time i have ever seen one commercial for glory was when spike made a commercial about their "friday night lights out" shit that had bellator and pbc boxing featured along with glory. They didn't even do a commercial for the last man standing ppv during the prelims on spike for gods sake.
The K-1 brand has a few decades worth of promoting itself abroad, people grew up with it and are aware of it. There is an established following. The Japanese fight scene is known, and people know to look for it.
I'm well aware but @ItsTimeForGlory's press releases the are sucked into the either and viewed by 4 people on the way do not count as good or effective marketing
The people we're are talking about have no clue what's happening in the stadiums and don't care.
Your a fool if you believe that, but whatever. Keep enjoying your 1 camera angle fan filmed fights thinking that's anywhere near the level of K-1 branding.
That's their perogative. Make them care I guess, or let them like what they like. Why do you care?
Because they claim to love kickfighting, but ignore 90% of the meaningful fights. They're a bunch of phonies.
That's like your opinion.
