Got to admit Colby is smart

[Streeter]

Fights a boring style and would never get popular by his ability. So he takes to this cringy trash talking routine and everyone talks about him. 225 is a great card but all we are talking about is him. He could use this an be just another Chael who originated the cringe trash talk but really was never great ...... good not great...... or he can win against RDA an if so.e how he beats Woodley he can use the cringe and make himself into a mega draw even though his style is boring to Casuals ala Floyd Mayweather. ....... not comparing Colby to Floyd at all even if he wins his next 5 just saying Floyd parlayed his boring style (for casuals) into best selling fighter ever being hated. Got to give a little credit. Now he gotta win he,wins,he's a mega draw potentially if not he can still have draw power like Chael does.

You consider it smart, but I say it degrades the sport and cheapens the product.

Colby isn't smart, we are all stupid for paying so much attention to his terrible, unoriginal act.

 

[VinceArch]

Well Colby is doing the right thing in that people are talking about him. His persona and trash talk though are embarrassingly bad though. It's not good when you make Tito sound good lol.

It is smart......... for him.. He set himself up despite a boring style to potentially become a mega draw. He creates intrest. Some folks need to lighten up an have a little fun with it.

Let's admit it, having these "love to hate" fighters is part of the fun.

It made Floyd the richest man in boxing despite being incredibly boring. It works well. That an being great. But making everyone hate him tripled his buys an money

Colby couldn't carry Chael's gym bag...

LMAO 'cheapen the product' - it's a sport where people literally are paid to give each other brain damage to entertain a bunch of fans

no one is talking about him except a few noobs on the forum

the guy has like 25k followers and he probably purchased half of them (a mcgregor tactic when he arrived)

i never even heard of him till he was fighting maia
never watched a fight of his

maybe he is good
he has a chance to prove it on Saturday

Dana and his production team already got that covered.

If he was smart he would realize that when people sniff out your forced gimmick, they unfollow you.

 

[Mondo Freaks]

Chael did it with a similar style. Doesnt matter as long as he keeps winning.

 

[Dbreiden83080]

It’s only a smart tactic if the fight in question actually sells. I don’t think there’s been any indication this is going to be a particularly big card in terms of drawing. I expect the usual lousy pay per view Numbers post Conor McGregor refusing to fight.

Nothing wrong with shit talking. I just wished he wasn't so damn awkward behind the microphone. Its almost like he is a student at a pro wrestling school who is kind of trying to find his groove.

Like with Colby, one day he is trying to be Conor and the other day he is trying to be Chael. He needs to find his own cadence in shit talking game.

yeah but hes not a love to hate like many. He's just a please go choke on a dick type

No, Chael was funny and witty.
